Enable Alert! 10 Pound Slimdown Xtreme!!!

[ebianco]

Another vfer who loves these!!! Both the 20m workouts and the xtremes. I think I may love these more than many of the classic Firms, which have always been my favorites. I love the music and the circuits and the split routines and Chris

oh no! that's not good to hear,, I too gain weight in the saddlebag area. maybe alternating with floorwork or barre might help?

I've been doing exactly that since I finished my last 10 Pound Slimdown Xtreme rotation, and it seems to be helping to thin out the sides of my legs. Just thought I'd pass along a heads-up, though, in case anyone else has this same problem.

I had the exact same problem. I think for me, the solution is, adding in extra cardio and/or not going heavy with the lower body workouts.

Scroll down to the title that says: What you get

You can find one for the 20 min workouts and 40 min workouts

And luckily I have a body type that doesn't get huge in the legs. This is one time I love my genetics, I can do the workouts I want and get the results I want without odd body changes.

Thanks Artist of Eyes. I was wondering if anyone made up their own rotation with the xtreme workouts, the rotation as is looks a bit too much for me right now.

I enjoy the workouts but the Xtreme rotation isn't my cup of tea. First, I don't believe that splits are really an efficient use of time if you are trying to lose weight and tone up all over. So I can see where folks who tend to gain in the saddlebags area would end up bulking up because you are hitting that same area at least 4 times in the lower body week (sometimes twice a day). I also am not too keen on doing 80 minutes on some days (60 minutes is my limit). So the rotation makes no sense to me but the workouts are solid.
