So true! I always forget that. I did the 4DS Kickbox workout last night and today...nothing! No DOMS at all. I actually woke up this morning and was disappointed when I felt fine! How crazy is that!??!?!

I'm on week 2 of BBC and I can feel the difference already. I get SO winded on the cardio portions. I think it is working because it is so different from Cathe's. I have to admit I think Cathe's are much safer for the joints. But I will do this for 2 week rotations to shake things up.

what about when cathe has you do genie hops? are you saying that AFAA says not to do that as well?

When I did two months of BBC I got awesome results. But, I can't honestly say I remember a day when I had DOMS. I lifted to failure that's for sure, but I don't remember feeling sore. As far as HIIT. I was under the impression that for it to be a true HIIT, you need to allow for periods of recovery between intervals. BBC isn't set up that way. That's why when I did do the cardio I paused between the blasts to allow my HR to lower. I didn't enjoy the cardio as much as I enjoy Cathe's, so I didn't do it too often. What Shelly said. Do all the workouts the way they were designed and if you still don't like it then make a decision.
