Helen,

Your post and picture made me laugh! Hope you got your DVDs today!

Monday afternoon: Just phoned to check when it might arrive - and was able to speak to a REAL PERSON! It arrived at the processing centre before 1am this morning, which is under 2 hrs drive from here, but they're still saying 1-6 business days before I get it; but I'm optimistic about tomorrow as she (Jenny, on the call) said it HAS been loaded into a truck for delivery. :D

I would love for Cathe (or somebody) to do a workout that, for example, starts with 20 lb dumbbells and we do back,, biceps, squats, lunges, then we take 15 lb dumbbells and do several body parts with that, etc. I guess this would not completely exhaust each muscle group all at once but I think it would be fun. And I renew my wish for Cathe to do a Firm-style AWT dvd with just 5 s or maybe 5s and 10s.

I haven't even tried my dvd yet for just this reason. Every time I look at the back cover of the dvd and see alll the equipment required I get exhausted and pick some other workout to do. I do have this problem with most of Cathe's dvds though. I guess Cathe and I just done mesh well.

Upper Body - Take Two!

Well, I like it now :eek: Since I wasn't using the same massive weights they were using, I did actually lift to the best of the music. And I modified to suit myself. For example, I did the 3-combo of 5# shoulders standing up instead of down on incline bench, sit up, down, up ....

I was still a little concerned about the straining and no-so-good form some were using on those first bicep curls with the huge weights. Since I wasn't using massive weights, my form was perfect. :D

Although I hate it, I'm used to them spending time back and forth moving weights around for every exercise. I just do extra stretching.

However, I did 20 minutes of her High Impact and couldn't make it to the end because I could not stand the idea of doing one more burpee/squat thrust. There was just.so.many. It was like 3/4 of the the workout, supplemented by air jack after air jack after tuck jump. I wish she had thrown in some boxing moves and other cardio moves. Even mountain climbers (maybe they were there in the last 10 minutes, I dunno).

Now that I KNOW this is the case, I might someday do the workout again, mentally prepared. Maybe. I agree that it packs a good strong HIIT workout in 30 minutes; I just prefer, say, a TurboJam style HIIT for 30 minutes if I'm going to get constant variations on the same move.

I also lasted about 20 minutes with this one - too many burpees and so many moves were so fast! When I ff’d through the rest of the workout and saw more burpees and then MORE burpees I was glad I had Joni O’d it. I have higher hopes for the low impact workout.

Maybe if you use the premixes that do half and half of the high and low impact, you’ll like it more?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is sick of HiiT. I also have a bee in my bonnett w/ the cheap cases.
