Yesterday I tried Tonique 2.2, which I think she calls Cardio Sculpt. It's well-named, as I found it really intense cardio with lots of jumping and lots of lunges. I took a short sweat/water pause between each section, and went at my own pace, but found it very do-able. The sculpt part is ultra high-rep arm moves, which burned even using 1 lb weights.
It wasn't as immediately fun as Tonique 2.1, but I'll definitely do it again.
Although a lot of moves use the core, I felt like trying an add-on so I went with Adam Ford's Swiss Ball Abs & Core Workout Phase 1 (also available on YT). I've had the this for ages, and finally just felt like trying it out.
Phase 1 was definitely beginner as far as demands on the core, although it does take a special focus to maintain balance on some of the of the moves.
I'm not sure it's worth learning that when there are so many other Bosu exercises that target the core the same way but don't carry the risk of falling over into an undignified heap. We'll see.
buffmama - I've Joni-O'ed yoga practices within the first 3 minutes because it just didn't match what I wanted.
But usually once I've started, I'll finish. I think the ability to say, nope, not for me, is actually a sign of my growth.
