AnMrsDe: I sometimes struggle with timed sets in workouts where it’s AMRAP in that time period. I like to be even on weight exercises in particular. I will usually do a workout 1-2x as is. Then I figure out where the counts are off by more than a couple of reps and adjust my speed at home since they can’t see what I am doing. Plus I am making the workout work for me, especially if the speed is too fast for the weight I am using. Kettlebell workouts are often like this in terms of time focused instead of rep focused. I just do the same type of process. Just think though - a couple of reps off isn’t as much of an issue as compared to several sets off... thinking Billy Blanks here.

My favorite is the Kettlebell and Kickboxing workout. I want to try the pre-mix with KB/KB and Legs now because of the reviews.
The rest are o.k. but not really what I expected. My second favorite is the Core Cardio one. I thought the Legs one would be a mix of weights with tabata cardio interval circuits similar to something Cathe would do. So first, you would do weighted lunges and then alternate it with plyo lunges. I didn't know that Trim & Tone intervals would have weight intervals. I thought this would be a cardio HiiT workout. So I think my expectations were different. I like the workouts well enough but I'm glad that I paid the pre-order price. Glad others can enjoy the Amazon price.

AnMrsDe: Cathe does tend to be pretty good about reps but I do catch her now and then being off by 1 or 2. Not often, but it does happen. Lol!
In LBC that does happen on an exercise or two but I finish it out. It's just me being me. Helen S: Have you tried her RAW lower body w/ kettlebells on YouTube? I that workout. You might enjoy it.

I tried the Legs/KB/KB premix and like it better than just legs alone but I think what drives me nutty is all the repeating in the leg workout. KB/KB does break that up. So I probably will do it this way from now on. I know I will miss some of the exercises but I want to enjoy the workout. I haven't done Core Cardio by itself. I tried the core cardio/upper premix and wasn't enjoying the cardio much so I went to just the upper body and I did like this one. I may have to try core cardio but have to be in the mood for it. I will play with other premixes and see about them. |

Gibbee - I'll check out her KB & lower body workout on youtube too. I hope it's one of her free ones. Thanks. I appreciate everyone's thoughts.

I didn't particularly like the Core Cardio/upper body premix but I like both stand-alone workouts a lot. Go figure.
