Sandra,
Thanks for the offer. The videos arrived this afternoon. Did you enjoy your rest day? I enjoyed mine. :7

Hi Pamela,

I'm glad you got your order in time. The Intensity Series is such a great set of workouts!! Rest days are nice, aren't they? Mine was very busy, so I can't say I actually "rested". But it was nice to get an extra hour's sleep in the morning

I look forward to hearing what you have to say about the pyramids!

Cheers!
Sandra

Hi Sandra,

I love the look of this series, and I can't wait to try them. Surprisingly, Pyramid Lower Body wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. It was actually quite doable. I didn't modify the standing leg work at all. Now the floor work is a different story. I completed it, but I followed Brenda's modification on a few because I just couldn't keep myself up with one foot on the ball. Also, I shaved off a few reps of those outer thigh leg lifts at the end. :+ I think had I realized it was the last exercise I might have pushed myself harder to do them all. We'll see next time.

It kind of sneaks up on you doesn't it? My legs were like rubber during my run.

I can relate to the "rest" day not really being about rest, but it was nice coming close to finishing all of my housework.

Enjoy the weekend!

Oh yes, it definitely sneaks up on you! I find the standing work to be a, ah, easy isn't the right word, but in order to really feel it, I have to go quite a bit heavier than Cathe does. But the floorwork has always, well, "floored" me LOL! The hamstring section in particular is very hard for me to do. I always get great DOMS from this workout. And it took me a while to be able to finish all those outter thigh lifts without being in complete agony. I think the Leg Conditioning drills in KickMax have significantly helped me in that area.

Tomorrow is PUB!!! I LOVE this workout! I'm looking forward to it! I'm not sure what my 20 minutes of cardio will be. Nothing that requires a lot of arm movement, I'm pretty sure!

Have a great day!
Sandra

I'm so glad to hear you say that! I thought I was doing something wrong because I wasn't really feeling the standing part -- not like with GS legs. The floorwork, however, was killer! I switched from the ball to high step for that first set of hamstring exercises because I just couldn't do them on the ball no matter how hard I tried. I stuck with the ball for the frogs until the last 3 or 4 reps then I had to go to Brenda's modification, which was still hard!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow too. I love upper body (not core, but that's just because I need it the most )

I have to confess I have a great deal of dread about Monday. I've never even attempted the KickMax Drills. I guess I'd better get a good night sleep on Sunday so "I'm ready to work" on Monday.

Thanks again for joining me. It's a lot more fun knowing someone else is doing it too.

Take care,
Pamela
