I did do the unweighted/single leg focused reps on the floor. It was easier to keep my balance. I say try it first, I never do that many hip thrusts but the time actually went pretty fast! https://www.walmart.com/ip/Terra-Gli...E&gclsrc=aw.ds

THanks Kathy! When I begin the Iron Series, I will give it a go as is. That terra glider looks cool. I will either use my step and put towels on it for padding or I have a soft stool. And then again, I may end up on the floor, so there's that!

I did my first Caroline Girvan workout today! I did the IRON Series workout 4- Full Body Dumbbell Circuits. I used my 20 & 25 pound dumbbells- I liked it...slow & heavy in 30 minutes. But I was wiped out after the finisher. That's it for me. You guys are hardcore if you're adding on additional cardio! I added on additional stretching at the end because I don't recover as easily as I used to!

I know she has lots of fans and a lot of people get angry or fanatical whenever someone has constructive criticism. But, I just don't don't love her programming. I vastly prefer Vera Laro, who has a similar vibe, but the workouts never feel like overkill. |

I did Iron Series Day 1: Legs. I LOVED this workout! This is the type of weight workout that I always wanted from Cathe. I used 30"s (only twice I think), 25's, and 15's. The pace allows you to work on form and to focus on the muscles being worked. My heart rate got quite high a few times and I took extra time to rest. I am just getting back into a routine after a couple of months off and on. I wanted to do a cardio workout after, but I was too tired after this workout. This workout and the workouts that I've previewd in week 1, will allow one to increase weights over time. Super excited for the Iron Series!
