OK, I skipped a day of Meta level 1 and have since done days 3 and 4. I am noticing the exercises getting easier (I didn't say easy, just easier). I was also noticing with all the ab work and no opposing lower back work, I was starting to slouch a bit in the daytime, so I am adding in some lower back and spinal erected work. I am not as sore. I will take the day off tomorrow from Meta, but will probably could do as the soreness level has drastically decreased. Phew!

I've been away from videos for a couple of years because I did a 200-hr yoga teacher certification and got out of the home video workout practice. I'm in a workout slump, though, and need to get my workout groove back. (Not to mention slacking off on workouts *and* holiday eating has rewarded me with tight pants).
On a whim I ordered TA Meta Omni off of Amazon. It was more expensive than the sale price at BBB, but still less than the original price. While I'm waiting for it to come I got out my old TA Mat video (the one filmed in the wood room) and I'm wondering what I've gotten myself into. I did it for the second time today--I didn't have bad DOMS from yesterday, but my arms felt like they were about to fall off by the time I finished the second arm set. How does Meta compare to the original Mat video? I remember it taking a while to figure out what she was doing but once I did I could follow along with no problem. Do the workouts get progressively harder, or do they just switch target areas? It's funny...I haven't done TA Mat in at least 2 years but I remembered every move in it. There are two places where she gets very uneven in reps between sides and I knew exactly when to brace myself for it. |

Ta
I love her Mat video. It's still hard for me to get through. Meta is shorter, not enough on the arms in my opinion. I count reps and just kind of figure it out from there.
I love her newer videos though. Precision Toning the 2 newest ones, Beginner Dance and Beginner Mat. They get progressively harder and she COUNTS through the matwork! I'm going to continue these and mix in some Barre and other stuff then start Meta over in February or March. |

I am interested in what others have to say.
I am only on Meta Hipcentric on the second workout (which I just did for the first time today), so can't really answer your questions. I felt the second workout is definitely more difficult in complexity of movements and she is moving faster. In terms of upper body, she is moving faster and therefore there are more reps. The lower body work was a bit more challenging and no longer because the rest of my body is tiring from being on all fours, but I do not have much perspective as I just started! I think there is more all fours work in the Meta I am doing compared to the Mat workout, if I remember the mat workout correctly (have only done it one time) and Meta workouts are 30 minutes and she recommends 30 minutes of cardio as well. |
