What specific moves in the new workouts do you really like, and why?
I love the three-knee repeater that becomes a knee up, hold down, over-the-step, knee up, step down (which is more fun to do than to describe!). I'm not quite sure why, but I like the syncopated feel of it (I also like drop-squat/pendulum moves for the same reason). The only thing I don't like is that it's added on pretty late in the combo, so I don't get to do it as much as I'd like!
I like both firewalkers and 1-legged squats off the step (in B&G) but not because they are fun! Because they seem really effective.
I also like the 'frog jumps' (that's what I'll call them) in DM, which I do by not turning around at each end, but by doing them forward and backward (backward movement is supposed to hit the glutes and hamstrings more, and I can always use more work there).
