Hey Suzanne – Check Facebook…we posted the video there on Friday!

Hey Paula…we will pass your msg along!  We all miss her here too and do hope she comes back as a guest trainer sometime.

Hey Lauren!  Yes that is correct, if you are a member of the challenge then you’d have access to see the groups.  This ‘Chat Zone’ is where all of our SSoD members can chat.  Our last challenge just ended this week, but be on the lookout as we announcement them via email and Facebook as to when our next one will be.  Until then feel free to converse with other members here!

Terry & Marie,

I could talk to you for hours, probably days, on this HR training stuff…fat burning zone, etc. there’s just so much info on it!  First, I also wear a Fitbit and overall I think it is decent for counting calories.  I know it doesn’t record my HR anywhere near as good as my actual HR monitor.  My Fitbit rarely registers over 140 and I’m often in the 160s during my class.  That’s probably my biggest complaint about it.  However, if it’s what you’ve got then make the most of it!  I’ll try to make this concise, in the fat burning zone you’ll burn more calories of fat, however it’s going to take you a lot longer to burn those calories then if you were to keep your HR in the 80-80% range for a shorter amount of time.  As for HIIT, yes it’s great but it’s easy to over do it too.  I don’t like to recommend more then 3 to absolute max of 5 HIIT trainings a week.  Based on your results from the challenge, I’d say you two are both doing excellent.  I’m not 100% sure of what type of classes you two are doing, but make sure to add some strength & sculpt classes in there.  The muscle building or maintaining is vital!

Terry & Marie,

That is amazing!  I’m not talking just about the weight loss, I’m talking about how much you seem to have changed your lifestyle.  It’s great to hear your kids are dancing around, hopefully they are learning some healthy habits and how important exercise is, as well as some healthy eating habits too.  Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, it truly warms my heart and definitely motivates me to keep pushing you!

That’s music to my ears!  Love to hear you are going to continue on with the routine the challenge helped you establish.  Way to go Jessica 🙂 Thanks for being a part of it!

[Mere W.]

Thank you Heather for joining us!  Way to start the year off right…now it’s about staying consistent for the remaining 48 weeks, but you’ve got this!

[Mere W.]

You’ve got it Suzanne!

Heather – way to go!  Yeah Brooke is a killer on TRX 🙂  I still remember my first class I ever took with her, my core was sore for a week!  Try to foam roll those muscles to if you have a foam roller.  Keep working on the TRX, you’ll definitely see your strength improve as well as just getting more accustomed to it!

[Mere W.]

Thanks Doe!  Yes this is one of the best categories because it takes away every excuse from working out while traveling 🙂  You can do plenty of these even in your hotel room.  Hopefully it is a fun trip and not just work…but even if it’s work, enjoy it 🙂

[Mere W.]

Favorites are a good thing!  Then you can see how you’ve progressed.  You know you can mark videos as Favorites, right?  There’s a red add to favorites button to the right of the video player…just in case you haven’t noticed that 🙂

[Mere W.]

Glad you were able to get that workout in Heather!

[Mere W.]

Endorphins are a good thing!  I see comments on 5 workouts the first & second week, then 2 so far this week.  Does that help you out 🙂

[Mere W.]

I couldn’t agree more with you Roxie!  I can’t believe we are on Week 3 already.  Keep at it lady!

You can sub it out with another lean protein you might have on hand.  I like to add chicken or lean ground beef into an egg & egg white scramble…of course along with some spinach, peppers and whatever veggies are in my fridge.
