I did this workout this morning & feel I am stronger than when I first started the getting started rotation. Love the shorter workouts and the weight & cardio mix.

Great review. I did Bonus Abs 2 this morning & felt the same way about the bike maneuver variation. I'm hoping with time I'll get it. Looking forward to trying Bonus Abs 1

Glad to know there's no glitch. I was wondering the same thing when I did this workout this a.m., but I just went back to the main menu; chapter & selected the stretch as suggested. It was fine bc it gave me time to cool down a little more.

I do have both Party Rockin step DVDs but I'm not of fan because I'm so uncoordinated. I'll give it another go. Maybe with practice, I'll get better.

Looks like a good rotation, but I don't have any of the cycle or pedal power DVDS. What would you recommend to substitute?

I'm also an early riser. I'm usually up by 4 a.m. & start my workouts about 4:30/5:00 a.m. I've gotten into the habit of drinking at least 12-16 oz of water when I 1st wake up; then I drink 1/2 my protein shake & keep drinking water when needed during my workout; then finish the protein drink...

I've had pain in the ball of my foot for the last couple of years. I've seen two different podiatrists; had steroid injection shots; and an MRI with no clear diagnosis. I've used orthotics and shoe inserts and nothing seems to help. I have never worn heels. I'm not really sure where to go from...

Day 3 done! Boy were my arms shaking by the end of it. Can't believe I made through the entire premix: 89 minutes. I did have to take a couple of breaks to get additional water and a potty break, but I made it. I wouldn't mind a check in with this rotation. I'm not so good at keeping track of...

Good to know we will get 7 days notice before a price increase. Like another poster, I can't pre-order right now, but don't want to miss out on this great price!

Day 2 done!. I'm so excited about this rotation.

I started this rotation this morning. I'll be alternating weeks: one week split, one week endurance. Did LIS Total Body Upper + Cardio Supersets with modifications to keep low impact. Boy, I was drenched by the end of it. Love it. Day one down. Don't know how long I can keep up the longer...

Wow, thanks for this reminder, I did not know this about raw honey. I'm loving all the info & tips on this thread.

Crow pose is something I've been considering lately. Thanks for all the suggestions. I think daily practice is a great idea. I love the links showing the steps to work towards the full crow pose. I'm going to give it a try & practice every day this week & see how far I get.

I am in week 5 of this rotation & I do feel my endurance improving. I am able to do more push ups on my toes & take fewer to zero breaks. Feel like Rocky - getting stronger yeah!!!!!!!!;)

It really depends on the exercise. For shoulders, increases are minimal less than 2-3lbs; biceps & triceps a little more and legs saw the greatest increase, but again it depends on the exercise & body part being worked
