I've been waiting for this update! I love HSTA and can't wait to try this new one out.

How long are the cardio sections?
 
Cathe,

Thanks for the update. I really like doing HSTA so I am happy with the description of this one. I have never used a band before, so that will be interesting.

I am also pleased that you included an ab/core workout because I am trying to do some everyday so this is nice!

Looks like another fabulous workout!:) :)
 
Wow, that sounds like a VERY busy 68 minutes! I love that triceps (my least fave) are done first round. Can't wait!! Thanks!

Take Care

This sounds great, but I just have to ask one question- Are you trying to kill us?}( . Seriously, this sounds like a super challenge. I'm happy, excited and scared at the same time. What are side pushups? Helen :7
 
This looks like so much fun! It looks to me like there is so much going on that the 68 minutes is going to FLY!! Cannot wait to have the Hardcore series in my hand. I have never preordered before but am so happy that I did!
 
Sounds great, but I have two questions. Is this workout modifiable for use without a band? Also, how long are the cardio portions?
