Said I would re-start, and I DID!
So - Monday = Workout 1
Used one notch heavier weights than last time. Yup ! THAT worked better - feeling bits & pieces today, not severe, but there nonetheless.

Awesome! I don't think I have that one. I love her DVDs that have different levels on them, as it behaves like its own little system or rotation.

I agree, I love that most of the time she has several levels on one DVD, I have all of her killer DVDs, except for the Cardio one.

My butt is sore today, and I only used 8s for the deadlift, and one 8 for the second round of plies calf raiser, I also thought to use 1lb ankle weights for the floor work, but didn't, then regretted it since the floor work which was circuit 3 was easy, so I put them on for circuit 4, next time I will put them for circuit 3 and 4, I also used my bosu for glute bridge, mountain climbers and plank to low squats, I thought it was a fun workout, circuit 1 was the more challenging for me, and circuit 3 the easiest, all in all, I enjoyed it all, and I was dreapping sweat.

I've been using my FIRM Zip trainer both zipped and unzipped (which winds up being basically a bosu) for various moves in this program, and I'm finding it a huge help.

I didn't think to use ankle weights for anything but that is a great idea. The leg lifts are honestly pretty easy, even with a dumbbell on the thigh.

Could you provide a link to that thread? The dang search function doesn't work anymore.

Today, I did Killer Arms & Back L1, I used a pair of 3, 5 and 8. I used 8 for rows, concentrate curls, and the first round of bicep to hammer to reverse curl combo, second round I dropped to 5s, for the rest I used 3s for shoulders moves and 5s for the rest. Again I used my bosu for one arm burpee, I didn't think I could do this, but I gave it a try and it wasn't that bad using the bosu, I also used it for plank jacks, another fun and sweaty workout.

I agree it does help a lot. I dread burpees on the floor, but with the bosu no problem. Yes, I agree with the leg lifts, that is why next time I will put them on.
