Holy cannoli, this workout wiped me out! I was freshly fueled with my morning breakfast and coffee from earlier, too. Since I've not done this workout since way before STS 2.0 came out, I looked at my original weights notes, scoffed, and upped everything. I chose weights at least two notches up from what Cathe demos. She recommended starting with 8, I went with 12 or even 15, etc.
I forgot, again, the pacing of this workout. No rests between exercises. I remember feeling fairly challenged by this series when I first got it, even with Cathe's suggested starting weights. Go heavier and you're in for a very intense challenge.
By the end I was starting to run out of gas, so "cheated" and dropped down to 8s at least for those combo side squat/side lunges.
This is a great endurance workout, I think, after having re-visited it following STS 2.0.
It is really fun trying out my older workouts after all the work I've done with STS 2.0. Mostly it's fun seeing how much heavier I can go now, and still seeing that, for the most part, my endurance is still there. Oh - and how much my grip strength has improved, too!
