I'm going to do beginner EPIC next.
What I noticed with EPIC vs other programs. More workouts = less dread even when they're hard. I miss the cardio that comes with working legs on the weeks when there is more upper body. I definitely got stronger. I got good at modifying pretty quickly. Added stretching seemed to make a big difference. Functionally I was in good shape when I started the program, happily none of that has been lost, if anything it's improved. (I was doing pilates and yoga daily as well, short hiit added towards the end of the program.) Two thumbs UP.

Congratulations!!! That is a tough program! I think when I previewed Epic 1 versus 2, it seemed like there was more cardio with Number 2. But I have only done Caroline's beginner ones, total body and shorter HIIT workouts.
