I did Day 3 yesterday - mobility squats (no weights), t-spine stretch, and goblet squats. One thing that bugged me (this isn't unique to Lauren since I don't like when other instructors do it either) is when the instructor says something like "do what you can" and then shows maximum flexibility, like Lauren does in the mobility squats. When I demo in my yoga teaching, I don't always go to my maximum range (which isn't all that much, LOL!) because I don't want my students feeling like they can't measure up to what I am doing.

Kate, I saw that in the beginning of Day 5 but didn't try it yet; sounds like that might be a move to bring on some vertigo! I basically abandoned Day 4 because I didn't really like the exercises (not a fan of static lunges, don't have a TRX).

I do like some of the moves Lauren is doing and I understand the goal of keeping it short, but a quick minute for review of props/gadgets and position setup would be really helpful!

I have Meniere's and used to get terrible vertigo at the beginning but have learned to manage it pretty well over the years. Sinus congestion is one of my triggers, but I've also had some dizziness with certain yoga or Pilates moves that involve a lot of flexion in the upper spine, so this particular move was a double whammy. It's definitely odd that Lauren was so convinced that it couldn't have been the workout! ITA that a quick list of what equipment we'll be using, whether verbal or listed on the screen at the beginning would be great!

Today I did Day 6, which I liked in terms of the moves, but wow, a lot of up and down in this one! Also, although Lauren says things like "take your time," she seemed to be moving faster and faster through the rounds.
