I'm not sure why in the heck they're holding on to the DVD-rs. They'd be money ahead if they just tossed them all.

After using the series for a while (maybe 4 weeks or so) I revisited the original and it was SO much easier and I was a lot stronger. So they are comparable in intensity on the whole, in that using them was great preparation for improving greatly at the original workout. I haven't been using these for a few weeks at least, and while I definitely made huge improvements they never did get easy! |

OK, today is the day. Tabata and Toning. I was so worried about this workout last night that I decided to preview it. The first 10 minutes looks tough with the gliders and then there's a side lunge/burpee move that looks really hard (plus I don't do burpees) and there's a lot of those. But the rest of the workout looks good to me and I think it looks like one of the better workouts of the series and I will eventually "enjoy" it (as much as one can enjoy a tough workout).
Honestly IDK how Bikini Bootcamp made the cut for this series. Maybe they wanted another cardio workout in there but all that frenetic punching did nothing for my arms and I even used 1 lb. weights the entire time. Maybe some of the lower body stuff in the first part of the workout was good but I don't remember because all I remember is trying to keep up with that frenetic punching. I did like that they did a dedicated floorwork segment at the end for a nice change of pace. Well, there are going to be very few workouts that we just love all the way through. I took a live class recently developed by a former ballerina and while some of it was good, there were definitely parts I didn't like and thought were awkward. I'm definitely spoiled by the choices at home and the ability to piece together parts of workouts. |

I agree with everything you said! I think you'll like Tabata and Toning - it was my favorite one of the series, even though it was tough. And I completely agree about Bikini Bootcamp! It's by far my least favorite, but I'm going to try to work with it |

While I did get through BB without Joni O'ing it, I did sort of Joni O it in my mind, I guess. I'm not sure I want to give it another chance. |

Taking break from T&T. Want to complain about the cuing once again. They completely missed a set of exercises on one leg! She cued to the same side twice. They worked their own side twice (I am talking about the squat/forward kick in the first 10 minutes). I thought they were doing 2-3 rounds on the same leg but when she switched to the other leg she skipped some exercises.
Aaargh!!! I have just started burpees. She had better not screw up and have us skipping sides on this one, cause I HATE burpees! I am only doing them for the sake of this workout set. |
