Hey, all -

As a one month veteran of low carb eating, this is my first post here, though I've lurked for a while!

I've just begun Power of 10 slow burn training (I just finished Body for Life last week!) and I have to say I've never enjoyed working out so much in my entire life - am very curious if any of you slow burners are stll doing it and what you've learned along the way?

thanks,
michael

I'm still doing it. I still enjoy it much more than normal exercise! I haven't been doing it long enough to see obvious results yet though - it doesn't seem to have sped up my weight loss, but that may be due to muscle gain.

I wouldn't really expect weight loss, but fat loss/muscle gain as well as improvements in body shape and tone - how often do you check your bodyfat %?

I do have some body fat scales but I find it difficult to get a consistent reading - they go up and down so much. I haven't noticed any major change though.

I'm getting mine tested on Monday - fingers crossed! :-)

I am so happy to have dug up this thread. I just discovered the Slow Burn method and have been doing it since the first week of January. I just completed my 4th week and I'm getting great results. I find I'm doing it an average of 40 minutes twice a week. I have been weight training for years with VHS videos (Cathe Friedrich being my favorite). Since I've been weight training a long time I already have a lot of dumbells, a barbell, steps for a bench, etc. I just purchased a weighted vest and a squat rack so I can go heavier on my legs. I also know a lot of exercises thanks to my videos. I wouldn't say this is a better way of training than my videos but different and shorter. Also, I would say I've gained more strength with this method. I plan to continue this until the end of March. Until then I will have a better opinion. So far I can see myself doing this for a long time.

Does anyone have Fred Hahn's video set? I'm dying to know what's in it. I must know before I make a purchase. I even asked on his site but couldn't get an answer from anyone.

It's been a long time since anyone has replied to this thread and I would love to know how things are going with all of you who have stuck to it.

I'm bumping this thread back up to the top to see if anyone has more information on the Slow Burn Method and more particularly Fred Hahn's instructional video.

Thanks!

Karen

Hey - I've stayed very active with my Power of 10 Slow Burn workouts 1 or 2 times a week, and have continued to see slow but steady results, including increased muscle tone, fairly consistent weight maintenance (I go up and down 1 or 2 pounds, but that's it), decreasing waist (dipping down to 31 (I began at 34) and increasing chest (began at 38, now at 40).

I've also been pretty consistent with diet - aiming for around 100 grams of protein and 60 - 80 grams of healthy carbs a day, although I don't actively count meal by meal anymore. I don't track fat at all, though I'm very careful with sugar.

Don't know the Hahn tapes - i've found his workout a little bit more difficult to follow than the Power of 10, although I get that it's pretty much identical!

Thumbs up,
michael

Michael I notice you've done BFL? How do you compare the BFL workouts with the SlowBurn/Power 10?

Glad I've found this thread as I'm in the process of reading Frederick Hahn's Slow Burn with a view to beginning the programme.

Several questions that I had have been answered by this thread - but I just wondered if any of you who were originally doing the Slow Burn workout are still doing so ??
