Claire - So let me tell you about the first workout. I watched both the "Sweat" and "Sculpt" video on Sunday p.m. before I dove into the workouts on Monday. I thought they looked relatively easy. I told Jim I would do the 1/2 workouts the first week just to get used to the moves, but then I would probably move up to the 3/4 for the rest of the 90 days. I was watching it and Tony Horton kept saying "this is our pace - you find yours." I'm thinking the pace looks pretty slow and feeling a little sad for the people who won't be able to keep up with that pace. So I get up Monday a.m. ready to go. The whole Sweat sequence takes about 35-40 minutes. I get started with the warm-up, and after the 1st 4 minutes of power yoga I am about ready to cry. The cardio part starts with simple knee raises and arms going up and down. After about 30 seconds of that, I could barely get my knees up and could hardly get my hands above my head. The whole rest of the workout, I was needing to push the pause button just to be able to catch up to Tony! Needless to say, I was quite humbled. The Sculpt was not quite so bad, but I am not looking forward to the pushups tomorrow morning! Now I am hoping I get good at the 1/2 in 30 days! We shall see.
