I also wanted to add that I tried Get Dirty and Heat and love them so much.
Heat is such a fun, no-dread longer Tonique. Unlike BTM, Royale, and Femme Fatale, Sylwia tends to alternate standing and mat work every couple of moves, which really makes the workout super fun with absolutely no dread. There is no relentless mat/pushup sequence like in Royale, which really makes the workout feel very do-able in my opinion. There is also quite a bit of standing work for the lower body, but plenty of pushups and planks as well, so every single body part gets worked. Get Dirty is also an awesome workout. It feels easier than other Toniques because she switches legs/sides every couple of moves. It reminds me of a slightly more challenging Power of You. There is a mix of everything in this as well. Squats, lunges, pushups, planks, some on-all-fours floorwork. |

I will do the first 30 minutes of the workout on one leg/side and then I will rewind (or you could fast forward) and then do the same 30 minutes on the other side. It only takes a second and is a good break between sides anyway. Some people mind doing it, but it doesn't bother me.
You can also do the same thing with the second "half" of Get Lifted or Royale, i.e., do the last 15 minutes of the first side and then go back and do that same 15 minutes on the second side. This would, of course, be only a 30 minute workout. HTH p.s. - All of this would be A LOT easier if Sylwia chaptered her workouts. |

I totally agree! It's crazy that Sylwia doesn't chapter things in this day and age! Royale does have chapter breaks, but none of her others do. |

Leanne, I'm not very creative with breaking up Royale or Get Lifted. I usually do half on Tuesday and then the other half on Thursday. So I eventually work both sides evenly within a week. I plan to do the same thing with Heat. Here's more comments on Get Dirty that I posted in my check-in: I like Get Dirty better than any of the Hawaii 45 min. workouts. I think I like Get Lifted the best out of all the Hawaii workouts (done over two days). Switching sides often in Get Dirty makes it more fun. You will also like that some of the moves that she strings together are a standing move with either a downward dog or floor move. I was thinking that was one of the reasons why I received a cardio effect because of the PHA training.

I did Paradise today and absolutely loved it - fantastic scenery (Sylwia is on a boat with the sea behind) and the 60 minutes flew by - half an hour working one side and then switch to the other side but lots of variation so you don't feel repped to death.
Just to add - I messaged Sylwia asking which workout she recommended I only had the budget for one - she messaged me back straight away telling me to buy one and she would sent me the other 2 for free - which she duly did! She is an amazingly generous and genuine lady. Kaz x |
