AMD,
Thanks for your thoughtful suggestions about my mom.
Some of the songs CG uses are fantastic! They are really motivating and really get me in the "zone", but, one can only hear even the good ones so many times. I haven't even completed 2 full weeks of her program, technically, and it's already challenging having to listen to those same songs on repeat.
She is making these AMAZING, high production WOs, though, so I am NOT complaining. I mean, I am
, but I can suck it up. LOL
Honestly, it really depends on what the WO is. If it's one I like (like Day 13), the music doesn't register much. If it's one I'm not so fond of (like Day 6), I want to scorch the Earth.
And, like T2B, I want to know what flowers you planted! I got most of my haul in today (just bought, didn't plant), but I am still without a couple of varieties I desire, which I hope I can get my hands on soon as I want to start getting everything in soil.
You know, I was afraid after doing CG's WOs, I would be turned off by the commentary of my beloved Cathe.
Thankfully, that has NOT been the case.
I seem to be able to go back and forth between the two fairly seamlessly.
The no speaking WOs are a nice change of pace, though, almost meditative in that it's just you and your thoughts with no one else's words distracting you.

Thanks for your sweet words.
I gather from the back and forth between you and AMD that the heat does not agree with you? Are you a cold weather gal?
(I was also curious about AMD's celibacy pose and your Google comment made me LOL.

I would encourage you to give the IRON Series a try. I had been averaging 5 WOs a MONTH -- a MONTH! -- for 3 months (chasing an additional 2 months of inconsistent WOs) before diving in to the series, and I have had NO problem with the program thus far. (I already feeling like I'm stronger after less than 2 weeks of it!
)
The length makes them perfect for easing back in to things, and I find strength training WOs so perfect for modifying to meet your current fitness level just simply by using whatever weights are challenging you at the moment.
The WOs are metabolic by nature (esp. the full body ones), but there are zero cardio moves in them. (My cardiovascular capacity and endurance are WAY down, but nothing has been too much for me so far.)
I think I remember from earlier JTW threads that you have done other Caroline WOs. I think if you are already initiated in to her sphere and have a CG foundation, these would be more than doable for you.
