New/Upcoming Release Walk Strong 3 by Jessica Smith

I got mine yesterday! The truck breakdown only delayed it one day. I did the Ashtanga primary series yesterday in a special class (how do people do that every day??) so today is rest day and I'll start WS3 tomorrow.

When I lift heavier, I prefer more gym style versus doing different things with each arm while stepping side to side, for example. Also, something more choreographed like this makes it hard to use the appropriate poundage for each exercise. For example, she went straight from bicep curls to tricep kickbacks. No way do I use the same weight for those two exercises. I may or may not try this one again.

Just a comment. I do agree with you. That’s why most people I know who are serious about lifting heavy poo-poo DVDs and are into the gym, paper workouts, CrossFit, etc. I don’t think you have to lift heavy but if you want to really go for it, NROL, etc. may be better options.

Glad people are enjoying these.

Looks like amazon US ship faster than our amazon here. My package has already arrived in Dublin Ireland and will be delivered tomorrow, super fast.

I did Total Body today and felt a little bit of what Joni felt with not enough time to switch weights and maybe not the best choices for weights without time to switch. I just went ahead and switched missing maybe one rep but I can see how some people might be annoyed. I doubt I will use her Upper Body one much -- I tend to bulk up quickly when doing much on my upper body so I work it less often and when I do I use pilates-style workouts for upper. I can still lift and haul my 50 pound feedbags though so I'm alright (that's always my measure).

I liked her warm up in Total Body for the upper body -- seemed very light for warming up lower.

I don't have prime and received a surprise notice that Jessica was coming yesterday! She did! There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the deliveries but I'm happy

My last order from Amazon was placed on a Tuesday - they shipped on Friday - with Sunday delivery! I didn't even know there was such a thing as Sunday delivery.

I understand a delay when there are multiple items that they might be combining into one shipment before boxing everything up to ship to me. In this case, it's the only item.

I'm just impatient for my new workouts!! -- really, really impatient!!!

I've had things delivered from Amazon on Sundays before. I think it all depends on where you live and if the item is in a nearby warehouse.

I’ve had lots of things delivered on Sundays, too. It seems weird.
