Not really 2 hours a day of CS....
I have been doing CS for about 3 weeks now.... the major improvements I seen is in flexibility.... it's amazing..... I used to do a lot of yoga in the past and stop due to a lower back injury, then my body started compensating and I had a knee injury, hip flexor, shoulder, elbow.... all on my right side... anyway, CS is helping a lot with some of these injuries..... my knee feels great now and my hip flexor started to improve in the last 2 days.... my flexibility gains have been amazing in 3 weeks.... I actually took a yoga class last Thursday and I can touch my toes again!!!!! (I haven't been able to do this for 2 years now).
I love the way it makes me feel also.... I feel like I'm working every single part of my body when I do CS..... overall I love this program....  I can't really speak for slimming results yet.... My diet is been horrible and for me, slimming and losing weight is 80%-90% related to dieting, no matter what workout program I'm doing..... However, I'm seeing some toning in my legs..... Anyway, I'm sticking to the CS rotation for a while as I feel fantastic.... I'm basically walking for about 30 min 3-5 days a week, doing CS 4-5 days a week for about 30-50minutes and some yoga about twice a week....  Enough talk LOL!

Great results Carla! I have been doing CS every day for about two weeks; one or two episodes from one of the series. I too have noticed flexibility gains. I have noticed improvement in balance. I love the standing balance work. It is very challenging for me, but I am getting so much better!
I plan to do a Leslie mile walk every day, followed by a CS episode. After that I will take Buster for his one mile walk.

I've been doing CS everyday for at least two weeks. I've had some post CLX trouble with my neck and back issues. CS has always been a mainstay for me, esp the Back Pain Relief and Express workouts. I did get Sahra's new workouts and have also had Miranda's Essentrics for awhile and didn't utilize them much until now.
Anyway, I do feel like things are loosening up. I'm thinking I'll do a interval/awt rotation next with CS. As far as slimming, I don't know. For me, also, it's all about my nutrition. Jackie |

I received the CS 2009 recently. I have been doing 1 - 25 min. workout a day plus a 30 min. walk with Leslie S. I am working through the CS series & like them a lot. I have only done 3 of them but they have a lot of stretches for the hips that I need a lot. The only problem is she is MORE flexable than I am, I have a hard time reaching around & grabing my foot & pulling it to my butt, I keep getting a cramp in my leg & just can't do it. Hopefully I will be able to get more flexable. (I am 64 and over weight)

I have done the TV show DVDs for about a week now - the last couple of times just did the first half one day and the mat part the next - I am adding them on to an hour of walking one day and STS Meso 1 the next.
I find this type of exercise a bit tedious but I believe it is very good for me - I think my posture has improved already and some hip problems seem to be improving. I plan to stick with them through the whole 2009 series and see what effect they have on me. The music is great and I like the instructor and the beautiful beach resort sets! |

I wanted to chime in because I'm seeing results! I've been trying for a very long time to get rid of the extra lbs I gained when doing kettlebells exclusively. Nothing worked well until recently. For the last three weeks I've been using portion control, walking 1-2 miles per day, and doing 1-2 CS episodes from Season 4. My clothes are looser, my neighbor said I looked like I lost weight (I've lost about 3 lbs), and I feel thinner. Kbells gave me a pudgy look and Miranda focuses on stretching the muscles. I don't care about the whole bulking/lengthening debate. All I know is my body is responding to this method. I feel more flexible, leaner, and I can fully stretch without any muscle cramping.

I got to admit I jump on the CS bandwagon and purchased the Express workout DVD and noticed that they do help with stiffness and pain. I have a form of arthritis and there are times when my body just aches. So I do one of her 30 minutes sessions and feel better. I also noticed that her hip and leg work really work!
I plan on doing one of her workouts every other day as it really helps. Maria |
