Rep count--do you like surprises or do you want to know the number?

[Justinef]

I count everything; stairs, cars, items in my shopping cart, so it stands to reason that I would count reps. Cathe's reps are usually right on. She has class members count for her (myself included) in her "Cathe Live" class. So it makes sense, when an instructor says "4 more," I expect 4 more. Some instructors will say "4 more" then do 12 more. Some say "a couple more" then do 8 more. A "few more," turns out to be 2 sets of 8,more. I guess my point would be, if it's Cathe saying 8 more, it will be 8 more. Same with KCM. Most instructors are very good at counting. But, there are a few that, not so much

I want to know...but since it's a DVD after the first time through, I know

Whatever Cathe's count is, it is usually 4 more than I am willing to go on my own!

Prime numbers would be wrong on so many levels....doing 17 reps. No way! If a workout calls for 6-8 reps, I'll do 6 or 8. Never 7. The only exceptions? 2 and 3.

Ok, so now you all know how weird I am...

Oh, yea, never 7 reps, throws the music and everything off.
3 is iffy for me. Again, the music. I'm almost breaking out in a sweat, thinking about it.

I definitely like to know how many reps there are for each exercise. If I don't know it feels endless and my form starts to suffer. If I know how many then I am able to focus and do those rep well. This is why I like the structure of the DVD's so I am working the muscles just right versus over or under working them.

I absolutely want to know - how many reps? Partials? Pulses?? It dictates my weight selection. I don't like feeling under-worked and I really don't like it if I need to switch weights in the middle of an exercise. Workout time is precious time and I want/need to make the most of it.
