About that "famous" rotation... I don't think it's famous at all (or that it should be). This was my attempt to do a TA mini-bootcamp several years ago before Meta was available. It worked ok but nothing great - my arms got pretty scrawny. I much, much prefer Continuity!

Cathe's Xtrain Legs
I just did this one for the first time, I did the Standing, the Ball/Chair and then the Bonus Barre section and I really liked it! My legs are my problem area as well as a tweaky knee. This workout did not bother me knee at all and I really felt all the moves, had to pause a few times during the reps. Doing the barre/calve section at the end was like icing on the cake! This workout reminds me of Butts & Guts, blended with some AfterBurn and TurboBarre thrown in. I wanted to add in the 100 Rep Challenge and the Floor work but my legs were too tired.

Terrie and Debbie, thanks for letting me know that I'm not the only one with the standing leg issue! I thought I must have a real problem--I mean, we were on like the first exercise, and my working leg was fine, but my standing leg was exhausted! I guess maybe I just need to get used to it and/or play around with slightly different leg positions.
I will try to do Mat twice per week, at least right now when I have some time off work. Today I feel some pleasant soreness all around my upper thighs, including the inner thighs--VERY unusual for me to feel sore in this area, and I can't even figure out which exercises Tracy used to target the inner thighs! I do have one other question: does anyone skip the Mat abs workout and/or modify with bent legs. Especially being a pear shape (i.e., with a larger butt that sticks out somewhat), I found the abs work with straight legs uncomfortable on my lower back, as my back felt arched too far away from the floor. It would be easier for me to fit in the Mat workout more regularly if I skipped the abs, but I don't want to sacrifice my results, either. Thanks to all for the responses!

I do her abs work when I'm in the mood to do it. I do bend my legs whenever it feels uncomfortable on my lower back, and I honestly don't think you'll be losing any ground. I prefer Hamelin's Youtube abs workouts. Classic abs is fantastic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhu-QC5o4gc

Thanks, Rebecca! I was scanning upthread for posts from fuzzie. I should have known, since it's "famous", to look harder!
Fuzzie, I knew you were a fan of continuity, so I was surprised at this, but curious, too! Makes sense now that you chimed in. The thing I love about Mat is that even though I have the dvd, with its parts on youtube & the standing of the legs (mostly), I can do little segments at my desk at work when I have a private moment. |

Thanks Debbie! While I was doing Mat yesterday, I kept thinking that I should have worn my HRM (I will when I do it next time)--I definitely think my HR was up for at least a good portion of the workout! The moves in the clip you linked to do look like they'd be more comfortable for me. I like Pilates for abs, and I also really liked the Core segment from Paul Katami's new KB DVD.
Btw, Fuzzie, I did see your "famous" rotation on another thread. Apparently you did a two-week rotation of (I think) Mat, Post-Pregnancy Workout, Dance Cardio, and Dance Aerobics; sounds like a lot of others have tried either that rotation or their own versions of it!
