I would love a travel friendly premix with just the tubing / bands and my bodyweight. Like a full body workout premix and a circuit workout premix . I also would like 30, 40 min premixes.

Well, you asked for suggestions. I gave mine. A muscle meltdown can be created just by repeating the same exercise over and over again - doing several sets of the same move with the same muscle - which I would be happy to do. P.S. I know the meltdowns are from the ICE series and not the pending one. I meant a muscle meltdown in a general sense - not literally the ICE meltdowns - my bad.

Hello,
I would love a variety a premixes for the upper body in Ramped up upper body like XTrain has in Burn sets. May they also include a Chest & tricep and a Back shoulder & bicep mix.
For Total body giant sets an upper and lower body split and if possible some upper body splits
Repeating a set like set 2 or 3 to make the premixes a longer work out for both those workouts .
For Cycle Sweat, I love the premixes in Pedal power something like that would be awesome!
Thank you for asking and considering our input and suggestions for the premixes.

My wish list (many are repeats of others' suggestions):
*Travel option (no equipment or easy to travel equipment - loop, band, Dixie cup, maybe gliders. Also exercises where I don't have to touch the hotel room floor too much with my hands! I am a germaphobe.)
*60-ish minute option (maybe an add on focusing on an already worked body part - TRICEPS for me! Or an add on of a body part not worked that day. Core add-ons are always nice.)
*30-ish minute cardio options for those days I can fit in an extra workout in the evening.
*Extreme options (ultra long workout. I know we are going away from these, but sometimes I like to just lock myself in my workout room for 60-90 minutes)
*15-20-ish minute "blasts". I often work from home and on my breaks I try to move around. Muscle meltdowns, 100 rep challenges, ICE blasts are great for this. Not enough time to get sweaty, but enough time to get some much needed movement.
*No matter what the premix is, please include the warm-up and cool-down. I often do doubles (a second workout in the evening) or a quick workout on my break in the middle of the day, therefore it isn't an immediate add-on to my morning workout and I need a warm-up and cool-down. It is much easier for me to press "NEXT" on the remote to skip a warm-up or cool-down if not needed than to pop a video in, start it up, realize there isn't a warm-up, pause it, warm up myself, then press play, do the workout and then do my own cool-down. That is just me...I am more prone to skip the warm-up and cool-down if it isn't right there for me. Plus, the true running time of the full workout will be displayed.
*Not sure if you can do this, but I like the Fusion workouts where you combine different workouts from different DVDs (can all be from the same series, but from different DVDs).
*Cycling: All in the saddle premix and all out of the saddle premix. Perhaps all 1st/2nd position premix and all 2nd/3rd position premix. Extra long premix - 80-ish minutes.
Can't wait for the finished product!

I am late to the game on this thread, but wondering if the cool down prior to the stretch can be considered a chapter unto itself? Otherwise, if the final segment of a planned workout is not the final segment of the premix, you are on your own to pause and do your own cool down. Not a biggie, but I would much rather cool down with you and the crew than walk around my living room by myself. [emoji1]

Love all these suggestions!! I also want a workout to do something that I won't sweat to much but need to get something in for lunch time! I have time to drive home do something for 25 minutes and drive back to work! Lol. But no time to shower ! Ugh
So I think sometimes well darn if I had an upper body segment for 25 minutes I could at least get that in and when I come home later do another 30 minutes cardio or finish up with legs and get a shower! That way I had an hour of cardio and weights of hour of weights but split it up enough to do it in the time crunch I have.
I know I don't want to go to work to stinky! Lol .. I can whip off with a wash cloth before I go back but not a full on shower. So if I had an fast workout to just move around and burn some calories of add to my muscles something it would be great!
Plus I love all your suggestions!
