Behind again! Let's see if I can remember everything I'd like to comment on.
manleym, that is a great score on the shoes!! And yes, tiny feet! Have a great trip and enjoy your nephew -- such a cute age.
Kate, I love the tattoo! Nice that it won't effect your workouts -- I wasn't sure if the muscles underneath would be sore. I have heard tattoos are very addicting.
cattaddict, your "one who must not be named" paragraph was so funny! It is odd that she never (that I can think of) gives alternatives for deadlifts. I'm disliking all of the side lunges -- something about my injury makes those feel dicey to me, though going at the slower pace helps a lot. Sorry you are having internet issues! Over the last week or so we have had a couple of days where ours goes out for a minute at random times during the day. So annoying, but at least it kept coming back.
Chele, it's such a win-win that you were able to view/try the workouts, decide they weren't for you, and then still sell them so you break even, making someone on the other end very happy, too. I understand why you made that decision. It did sound like these would be more like a full system Perfect 30, but they are not. Funny enough, I wanted shorter length workouts too and so far I've done the full length of all the ones I've done and enjoyed them without feeling like they were too long for me. Maybe because of the breaks, but I know sometimes I'm going to be pressed for time and need to use the express premixes, and I'm not sure they are going to be all that -- we'll see. Oh, and yes, my son plays hockey, but it's roller hockey, and I know some think that's not really hockey. Both of my boys grew up playing on travel teams, and it was (for the most part) a great experience.
So far I have done four of the workouts, and really enjoyed them, though as others have mentioned, Lower #1 was fairly meh. I think I will stick with an upper/lower + one or maybe two total body for the week. That's what I did this week, but many weeks I will only have the three days for morning workouts. I will try to add in some cardio a couple of times a week in the evenings. I can't imagine doing the three total body workouts in one week -- I agree that that would be too much, but somehow the four days I did this week felt pretty good. This morning I did Trisets even though I probably should have done Supersets. Because I read about Trisets last night, I watched the preview and sort of forgot all about Supersets. When I opened the case this morning I realized my mistake but wanted to dive into Trisets in case I got paranoid about it being too long. I did not find it feeling like it went on and on, but I will say that after that first set of legs I kept waiting for her to put some more legs in there.... I just knew she would (I had forgotten the preview), and I was dreading it. I went really heavy and it really fried my legs. But since she waited til the end and also had exercises that sort of naturally called for slightly lighter weights, it wasn't bad. I was grateful to not revisit any upper body parts!! I'm really enjoying the heavy lifting, slower pace, and some built-in rests. I actually did a fair bit of stretching on those extended breaks in Trisets.
Ok, that's probably boring, boring.... even for people enjoying the workouts!
Oh, Chele, I meant to tell you.... I downloaded the free Peloton app and I'm really excited to use it sometime. I spent a bunch of time during the basketball game looking at the workouts there. That game was a snooze last night -- we did not even finish watching it.
