I have started this twice now and am into Week 1:

Day 1 was tough! I had done the Physical Fitness Test twice so I decided to do a different Video: Kelli's Calorie Torching, Muscle Building and Fat Burning Workout. WOW! What a workout! Legs were so sore the next day and followed by an 8 hour front desk shift in heels it made for a long and painful Tuesday.

    Day3: 56 Minute Sweatfest Butt and Thigh Cardio Workout

    Sweatfest is right! I did this one before and it was a killer! I had to modify some of the exercises about 3/4 way in but I finished it and it has a nice long cool down. I actually enjoyed the Side Burpees...they are less jarring on my body vs. regular Burpees. If you are looking for a jump and lunge filled workout, this is it!

    Round 2 is my next one when I finish Round 4 in 8 weeks! How do you like it compared to Round 1?

    will defo try that this weekend, burpees kill me after a while still i prefer them to mt climbers, think i will most certainly be modifying,

    I have really enjoyed is so far got they are kicking my butt they offer beginner alternatives but i have tried the harder ones and am left covered in sweat the HIIT man workout for strong legs was a really killer for me my legs were proper shaking afterwards, if you would like a copy will happily send you it,

    Day4:

    Bodyweight Cardio Intervals: Sweat Like You Mean It and Kelli's Abs and Upper Body Strength Training Workout

    Two great workouts on this 3rd day! The first one was nice and quick. 4 groups of 3 exercises. The first group is slow/easy enough to be considered the warm-up. Definitely had me sweating and huffing and puffing! I was glad that the second video was a combo of arms and abs...Nice and slow letting me catch my breath. I am still feeling the legs from yesterday's workout!

    I think i have done those ones before, got me sweating I had quite an easy day cardio wise, today had intense abs and cardio and pilates abs and legs, got a bit of a sweat on it was very challenging as my core is very weak and is certainly what i need to improve on, my favourite 2 words now are workout complete feel such relief when i see that come up or hear it lol.

    My two favorite words as well! Today's videos are two more leg intensive workouts. I really feel it the next day. I think I will be choosing the lower impact option they offer for today though. I am STILL feeling Wednesday's workout!

    Day5:

    A Pilates Butt Workout and a (deceptively titled) No-Squat Leg Workout

    Right up my alley for a fairly busy Friday...Both videos were low-impact. The 2nd was actually the low impact alternative to the level 4/5 intensity leg workout offered. Legs are still feeling Wednesday's workout, so I gladly opted for the alternative. Happy I did because my legs are throbbing right now!

    Praying for an arms or abs workout tomorrow!

    Day6:

    Bodyweight Cardio Workout

    I usually nap on Saturdays in between jobs, but not today! I got thru this 35+ minute video feeling pretty good. It's Level 3 Intensity and it definitely gets you sweating quickly. Again with an AB AB format: my favorite! This workout hits legs, core and arms and can definitely be done a few times during the week as it isn't too taxing on any one body area...

    I will enjoy my day of rest tomorrow!

    Sounds good! I actually enjoy two-video days. Sometimes a 30+ minute workout seems to never end.

    I take back what I said bout that double ladder workout 16 mins was plenty, never done a ladder workout before, sweating like crazy was level 4, still got strength that i will relax tonight it is 9:40pm, was gonna get my workouts done in morning but instead went out for a walk, was gonna put it off as my walk took it out of me but glad i decided to do it least i will be in half an hour when "workout complete" AB AB are my fav too goes a lot quicker imo, and i agree 2 short vids are better than one long one, tomorrow should be a rest a day but if im able will get the workouts done as I have a busy work week with only getting a morning off instead of a day off so will stuggle getting some workouts in so wll have rest days then

    Day 7:
    REST Day, YAY!

    I actually cleaned my apartment for 3+ hours...

    Day8:
    Beginner Low Impact Cardio; Berseker HIIT; 30+ Minute Workout for a Rounded Butt

    The 1st video was a short ten minute warm-up. Definitely enough to get your blood flowing. Easy!

    2nd video: NOT easy! Note to self: when Berserker is in the title, opt for the lower impact video offered. If you like to do jumping jacks, this is the video for you! Not sure why I didn't opt for the Yoga/Cardio Blend offered; guess I was looking to punish myself. This is a level 5 so expect to be dripping with sweat and gasping for air by the end of it.

    Video 3: I did this one the 1st week of the 8 Week Busy Program so I already know what to expect of my legs tomorrow and the rest of the week: JELLO. Overall a great workout. It has a warm up and a cool down included and it's mostly a bodyweight exercise.

    Day9:

    35+ Minute Superset Arms and Cardio Workout

    This was a good video. Full body workout focusing on the arms which is what I needed after yesterday's leg workout. There is just enough cardio to get your heart pumping. Minus the Burpees, this was a great day!

    Loving the videos in Round 4. But I had a rough week last week and somehow ended up taking a Rest WEEK instead of the two Rest Days! Oh well. Back on track today! Good for you running a 5k!

    upper body strength today :) I was really excited to use my new adjustable dumb bells (even if i didn't put "a lot" of weight on them). my shoulders are already feelin' it :) butt is still sore from yesterday so it was nice to have the deep glute stretch in the cool down.
