Thanks for posting an idea of the rotations. Glad there's a LIS/XTrain rotation as LIS is still new to me!

That would be too much to even try to focus on for us Ladies honestly!
thanks for your first Hot review
Hi everybody -
Wow, I can't believe I get to submit the very first review of an Xtrain workout!
I did a spin session earlier this evening, but was so excited to get Xtrain, I figured I could squeeze in some upper body work. My legs are toast, and even the warm up seemed challenging to my jello legs!
I had intended to do Burn Sets Bis and Tris, but I guess it's a testament to my excitement that I accidentally selected the Xtrain Bis and Tris instead. I was well not the workout before I realized what I'd done.
First, the set and filming are GORGEOUS...the pictures we've seen are great, but you won't believe how these workouts look in motion. I'm not sure if they've added different cameras, trolleys or what (I don't know anything about filming), but it looks so cinematic. Cathe's workouts have always looked good, but this takes it to a new level!
Everybody look gorgeous/handsome, as you know from the photos. It was fun to see Greg again (I know Cathe would never do anything so unprofessional, but can I just say I wish Greg did these workouts shirtless....I mean that studio must be so hot...I'd hate for him to be uncomfortable). I think Al's a great addition...he is INTENSE. I've only seen him in this one workout, so he may be different in the others, but he's clearly concentrating on what he's doing. No smiles (but not at all unfriendly,..just focused, like somebody you'd want work
Lol

I did super cuts this morning -- two words -- OH YEAH! Cathe says that a lot in this one. My granddaughter says "oh yeah" (she is 15 months old) a lot so I think that's why I tuned into it.
This is my kind of complete body workout. From the warm up to cool down!! Light weights(that don't feel light), the band work is great (I did have to trade in the blue band for the pink band a couple of times). AND those ab kick outs are murder!! I did fall on my butt, Cathe warns you. I can tell this workout is going to be one of my most favorite go to workouts! I had to modify the burpees(always do) and some of the pushup routines. Fast moving, lots of energy, and I love all the smiles.
The only thing I didn't like(this is very personal) was the music, when I work out with weights I don't need anyone yelling at me, I like to concentrate on form, the music is vocal and I would prefer instrumental music. Also 20% of the exercises you are ignoring the beat...
Over all a great full body workout that left every inch of me soaked.
Cathe did a great job introducing exercises into a new, fun routine.
Did I mentioned I loved it -- OH YEAH!

I just finished watching this one and it looks fun and hard! Bet you were sweating buckets.
Thanks so much for the review.

Trixoo,
I loved reading your review! LOL about Greg
I'm not very good with reviews....I did chest/back/shoulders this morning and thoroughly enjoyed the workout. It was challenging and I know I'm going to have DOMS tomorrow.
I'll be doing this tomorrow night (the burn sets version). From what I see, I'll have DOMS, too!

I was always a big fan of the boys from STS. Greg was my favorite though
. As much as I would love for him to be shirtless, I'm afraid that I would get too distracted and injure myself . I won't say much more, as I must keep the convo PG .Ok, ok, back to your review. Sorry
. It was wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed it .

Thanks Jann for your revview as well. I love reading. I wish they had clips up of all workouts now.
