I hear ya on the mirror queuing! I have a really hard time telling my right from my left anyway and when I have to remember to make it opposite, then I can get all screwed up. So then I go into the dilemma of just following her as a "mirror" or do I follow right/left. If I was watching her all the time I would just do the mirror thing, but because I am not always watching her - this is not such a straight forward decision. I am just hoping as I do the workouts more and more, and I learn the routines that it will just get easier.
And I completely agree with what you said about only a couple more - and than it is more than 2 being a bit annoying...but again, that is just because I so want it to be only 2 more. On vol. 4 she starts saying we are almost done - way before we are really 'almost done" in my opinion. But again, this will get better as I learn the routines more and don't "fall for it" when she says we are almost done.
And as for Travis! Oh my! I have to work really hard on his workouts to follow the left, right directions...luckily he is really good at saying the correct right and left with the hand/foot combinations - man is he good at it. It is a mental workout for me though just trying to make sure I am doing it right.
