Coach Sean responded to our request for a challenge and all I can say is, I hope you're feeling spunky!! :eek:

From Sean (copied and pasted from his FB page):

For Press Play group, how's this.. We did this in spin class this AM. Challenge 2 from Volume 8 instrumental with a twist: two sets of 8 min with a 20/40 split. :20 sec level 4 attack with :40 sec recovery - 2 min break - repeat.

And here's the link for the instrumental version of Volume 8 /Challenge 2:

Yes! That is 8 EEKS for each minute of the challenge X 2.

YOWZA....I'll do my best and forget the rest!
 
Good Lord! I have enough trouble getting through CCPP. Oh well, it's supposed to rain tomorrow and DH is working, so what else do I have to do besides sweat with the rest of you....
 
Man - I am going to have to THINK on top of working???! OK - sounds fun anyway. I wanted to do my bike though and that will be hard with the timer. Any thoughts on that? I will look forward to it tomorrow :) Oh, and now I think he has sold a set of the instrumentals...

Banana, Volume 8 wasn't included in that set -- it was Volumes 1 - 5. Do you have one of those Gym Boss doodads? You can use that to time the intervals.

ETA that I'm doing it on my elliptical so I won't have any trouble timing it. Maybe you can do most of PP on your bike and then switch to your elliptical for the V8 challenge.

Hey Shelley! What time are you going to Sean's house?:eek:
 
Thanks, Michele - no, I don't have one of those. Wonder if Academy has them? I will look. I finally got an old watch with a stopwatch to work so if all else fails, I now have that, as long as it keeps going.

Thanks, also, for pointing us to that awesome pic of Coach Sean...ahem...I'll take that! When I am so tired but keep pushing, that is what I like to picture when doing the workouts - him, looking something like that, right there with me. Just makes me go faster ;)

About the instrumentals - is that the 10 cd set that comes with coaching cds too?

Ha!! We should tell Sean to make that photo into a poster. I'd love to hang that by my elliptical!!

Yes, that 10 CD Set had the coached and instrumental versions of Volumes 1 - 5. It would be nice to have all 8, wouldn't it?

Hey, where are you going to put the bonus track? I have it as the last challenge on my playlist but I'm thinking about moving it up. I'm worried I'll be too tired to do it at the end, and I REALLY want to do it!!
 
I just HAD to look, didn't I? YIKES! I'll be loading this playlist on my iPod later, ready for an early Saturday morning workout!!! See you all in the workout!

Oy vey!! Who had the idea to ask Sean for the additional challenge :eek:? I am coming to your house too :p:D:D

I have been doing something similar with that challenge the last few times I did volume 8 and it is a KILLER!!! I better eat my wheaties if I want to make it through Press Play AND the challenge :confused:

DS will be doing the workout with me tomorrow, good thing I won't hear him complain with my headphones on :p
 
Carola, will you save the bonus challenge for last or will you move it up in the workout? I'm thinking about moving it up. I always put the bonus on at the end and I'm beginning to question the wisdom of that.

LOL about not hearing your DS complain during the workout!!! :p :D
 
Whew!

Hey everybody,

I did CCPP with the added Vol. 8 challenge this afternoon on my elliptical since I can't do it tomorrow (STS 23 on tap). WOW, what a workout!!! :eek: With a 5-minute added cooldown I was on my elliptical for 85 minutes, 11,900 strides (that converts to about 5.3 miles) and 875 calories. I'll take that for today! :)

That instrumental music from Volume 8 was unbelievably motivating even though by that point in the workout I was feeling pretty darn toasted.

I finished it off with a long stretch and I'm headed for a hot shower and a glass of wine! ;)

Enjoy, y'all -- it's a goodie!!!! :D

Michele - I always put them on the end. You are thinking though - we will be tired! I will put it at the end anyway b/c I am lazy and have never learned how to do a playlist! :)

I wonder why, if he has the vol 8 instrumental, he wouldn't release it? I would pay for the download of all intrumentals, happily. Would rather that anyway than having copies of what I already have. I thought it was just buying the instrumentals on discs. Since you seem to have a direct line into that man's very handsome ear, why don't you ask about that? Pretty please :p
 
Well, I'm looking at this playlist and I'm wondering if there's a steady state (or other recovery) between CH 5 of PP and the added instrumental challenge. lol AND MAN! That added challenge is almost 19 minutes LONG? GEESH! :p

Ah.. you can do it!!! I have complete confidence in you!! :D

Sean didn't give us one so I added a SS in between CH 5 and the instrumental. I'm using one of the steady state tracks from volume 8. ;)

LOL!!! Well, I wouldn't say that I have a direct line into his handsome ear, but I'll be happy to ask him about downloads of the instrumental versions.

As for the coached versions of the CD's -- I gave those to my sister. At less than $4 a CD, they made a GREAT and inexpensive gift ;)!! I just bought jewel cases for hers and kept the case with his lovely picture for myself. :p :D
