I love Pahla Bowers!

Do her kettlebell workouts include good (or decent) music? The reason why I mostly use Lauren Brooks is because her routines have such great music!

Hi Tiffanywu - from what I have seen of Pahla's workouts she doesn't use music. That is a bit of a bummer for me, but I can play my own if I want. But since I workout so early in the morning, I am ok w/ going w/out music to keep the volume down! And, my brain is too fuzzy then anyway.

Just wanted to update this thread, Pahla is putting together a spring break challenge - 10 new "stack-able" workouts, each approx 10 minutes in length. It sounds a lot like her Hot 100. Looking forward to trying them next week. I think she will post them on 3/24 - it isn't clear if she is posting all 10 at once or if she will post one a day for 10 days.... I hope she posts them all at once as I'd like to start "stacking" right away.

I have been following her mini-challenges for much of this month and have been enjoying them. She is sneaky - in that she is so friendly and talkative you tend to forget you are being tortured. Overall, I prefer her strength workouts to her cardio workouts as some of her cardio workouts tend to get repetitive for me - a lot of "ladders" and repeats, at least the ones I have done so far. I am enjoying using her Podcasts though for walks on the treadmill. I did a walk/run w/ her yesterday.

Thanks for the update! I just discovered her seated workouts recently, and yeah they can really sneak up on you

Kate - I haven't tried any of her seated workouts - mostly b/c I sit all day at work the last thing I want to do is sit more, but I can see how they can come in handy at times - particularly if you are injured.

I have been enjoying her weekly mini-challenges quite a bit - a 5 day a week schedule works so well for me b/c if I miss a day, I have 2 days to make it up!
