    Thumbs up Want to tweak your physique? Me too...

    Ok, so I am only good at keeping promises to other people, not myself. That said I am now camming and it has made me realize I need to get off my ass and get in better shape. Luckily for me I did an infomercial a year ago and it totally worked then so I am going to repeat the process.

    I won't name the infomercial because I'm not selling anything. This won't cost you any more than you already spend on food, in fact probably less because your diet will change a bit. But if you guys want to hop on board for 6 weeks with me and commit to at least 12 minutes a day of exercise (24 if you are hardcore ) and to following the general guidelines for eating that I give you I would love the company. Last time I did it I gained quite a bit of muscle and dropped 8lbs of body fat and just under 14 inches over my whole body. A good number of those inches were those damn batwings I had for triceps. I was quite pleased that my daughter could no longer collapse into giggles every time I pointed at something and my tricep kept moving even after my arm stopped moving. Punkass baby. I still think she was exaggerating.

    I'm thinking that if I have to log on here and say that I did my twelve minutes and I passed up all the crap food that I promised not to eat then I have a much better shot at great results. By the way, a good percentage of those 12 minutes are spent resting. I frickin' love this program. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis and I know that a lot of the girls on here have health issues. Rest assured that unless you are a quadraplegic we can work out an exercise for you that will do what it needs to and won't hurt you. Also I promise you will not be hungry. Bored occasionally, but never hungry.

    Anyhow, no pressure but PM me if you want in or just chime in on this thread and we can pick a start date after I lay out the basics.

    no worries...no heavy lifting required, just heavy breathing. Should be something we can all do easily, lol. I will give it a couple of days to see if anyone else is up for it and then I will post some simple guidelines. After that, we can just support each other by posting our efforts. No need to weigh in or anything. It's sort of on remote control as long as you do your bit every day and eat the right foods. Just enjoy the results. It starts to show in less than 2 weeks.

    I'm intrigued, but also skeptical. 12 minutes isn't much of a sacrifice though. I'll try it.

    ^ Sounds interesting and I am a little skeptical since I thought you had to workout at-least 20minutes for your heart rate to pick up enough to begin to lose weight. I mean knowing that things like respiration etc takes energy and that can burn calories but nothing significant, I don't know though since I am no expert on the subject either...I mean I really do not know though I Do NEED to lose weight..lol

    skeptical here tbh... 12 mins of even an Insanity-esque workout is not enough to help you lose weight. What does make you lose weight? I'll tell ya and it won't cost $120, or $100 or even $1, and there's none of that "wait there's more! order in the next 5 mins and we'll double your order" bs LOL jk.. really the trick to losing weight is making sure your output is more than your input. Exercise and natural metabolism (cells breaking down and rebuilding, heart muscle pumping roughly 80/min, lungs moving, digestion, ect) are all output But I'm not sure how much 12 mins of "breathing" is going to add to the output considering 15 mins of running only burns 130 calories...makes me wonder how much is involved in "the general guidelines for eating". Sorry, the nurse in me is coming out and rearing it's head..do what ya'll want, do your research and if it sounds iffy please consult your doctor prior to beginning the program.

    To those who want to lose weight the reg way- I use the Lose It app on my phone to track what I eat and exercise and it really helps curb "bad choices" cuz I know I'm gonna have to log it for that day (kinda makes me face a bad diet choice front and center). I also exercise regularly and seeing how hard I work to burn 640 calories makes blowing all that on a greasy gross burger really not worth it.

    HTH and good luck to everyone on reaching your goals we can dooooo it

    I'll give it a whirl. I suck at dieting but I'm willing to try the exercise part and see what I can do on the diet part. I've lost a bunch of weight but mostly need to tone up cuz of the excess flab I got going on in the midsection.

    Hi all,

    Glad you are interested. I will clarify what I meant by heavy breathing. The program requires that you exert yourself to the point of becoming progressively more out of breath...but you can choose ANY exercise that accomplishes that. For me at the moment it happens to be using a stretch band for rowing exercises to do wind sprints. Someone who has under the muscle implants, or health issues that restrict movement, or even a level of body fat that makes simply walking a great effort--all of these people can still participate. They just have to find what gets their heartrate to the various goal points in the workout. It might be your zumba CD, jumping jacks, high knee lifts, pushups, marching in place, leg lifts, walking the dog, running up a hill...or any of a thousand things.

    The workout is less than 15 minutes. That is all that is required. The remainder of the change is accomplished through eating habit adjustment. It is actually quite important that you do NOT exercise more than 20 minutes in any workout that you do for the duration of this program. Simply put, when you workout for an hour your body assumes that it needs to put aside reserves for future hour long workouts. When you make a habit of interval sprint type efforts, your body adjusts to getting rid of excess body weight to remain trim and mobile. It may sound too simple to be believable, and I certainly scoffed when I started the program. I can only tell you that it works and it works really, really well. The added benefit is that your lung capacity greatly increases. I started the program with exercise-induced asthma that I had had for years. The program eliminated it. That is just my personal experience and I make no healing promises for any of you. Everyone is different.

    The reason that I suggested having a group effort is not because I am evangelical about it in any way. I have found in my life that simply knowing something is good for me is not enough to make me keep doing it, and that knowing how much Mountain Dew I drink is bad for me is not enough to stop me from drinking it. I need accountability and I am shamelessly inviting you all to hold me accountable for my own good health. I will be grateful to any who choose to participate and I hope that your results will in some way return the great favor that you do for me.

    I will write up the basics over the weekend and you can all start at your leisure. As I said, your weights and measurements can remain private, or you can share them. It doesn't matter. We will just be supporting each other in the daily doing of this thing for six weeks.

    I'm SO in. Especially after my ridiculous fat breakfast yesterday and half a carton of Snickers ice cream for dinner. I've always had a little bit of chub (though everyone in my life says otherwise) and am quite busty. Need to tone up and lose some inches.

    Looking forward to your next post, OP!

    Mine too..Those damn bewbies...

    I've started back to light jogging mixed with walking, sometimes just walking, and sometimes riding my bike. I hate upper body workouts, but I don't mind some bicep curls with 5-8 lbs weights.

    Check out bodyrock.tv (all free and the chick is HOT!!), she does 12-15mins HIIT (high intensity interval training) work outs on youtube and her site and yeah, you lose weight cos these short work outs KICK YOUR ASS and raise your heart rate in about 1 minute.

    Her work outs and a clean, no alcohol, no sugar, no processed food diet will cause you to tone up much more quickly than spending hours in the boring gym.

    ^Thanks for the suggestion! I only recently figured out I can stream exercise videos on Netflix?! Apparently everyone knew this but me, whoops.

    Ive been riding on skinnyfat for a bit too long lately - especially since Ive been camming more and get more sluggish as a result. Thanks for the inspo. I need to spend more time in body business.

    Also so many people here talk about their big ole titties - wtf guys. I know the grass is greener but the grass is also green with envy.

    Also, for comcast cable people there's tons of workout stuff on demand for free. The Carmen Elektra stuff is nice.

    Yeah, I need accountability too. I'll get into a workout program then skip a day then skip 2 and etc. etc. etc. It's good to have others to work out with and kick eachothers butts if we need it.

    I am still skeptical on some of it...but any physical activity can always help so what the heck. Exercise is exercise...lol And, it will be more fun having a group weight loss program since I get bored with my routines..lol

    Bingo 21stCenturyFox! In a nutshell, that is what we will be doing. HIIT and low glycemic food. Incidentally, the diet is also recommended for those with high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol. It tend to balance those out quite nicely too. All kind of perks for not that much sacrifice if you don't count sugar, bread, french fries, pasta, white rice, and my beloved chocolate ice cream. Hmmm...maybe that is a lot of sacrifice for 6 weeks...but good lord the payoff is awesome! You can keep the eating habits and just give yourself cheat days or you can go off the rails completely and just do the program every time you think you need it.

    I actually got more of a response from you guys than I thought I would, so now I am really excited. Thanks! Will be posting the basics probably Monday.

    OH God!! No carbs!! Yikes!! I know it works but gosh it's hard. I know low-glycemic doesn't always mean no carbs but usually none of the carbs I like lol. Anyway I still wanna try and hopefully I can do it if I have accountability. The 12 minutes makes sense now. Low glycemic diets work well with almost no exercise.
