Thanks for starting a new thread, buffmama! I hope you're feeling better. I was going to start the NML metcon challenge today, but I just wasn't in the mood for all the chatter. So I did Juliette Wooten- 40 Min. Tabata workout. This workout was just okay. I'm not a huge fan of jumping with heavier weights, and she had a bit of it using a 15 pound dumbbell. I did the moves, but it is not something I would do often. I like that Juliette has some unique moves, but not all of them are successful so I'll modify to do what works for me. I feel like I got a good workout, though.

buffmama- 100 push ups is a lot- even if they are spaced out in the workout! Plus since you've been sick I bet those were tough!
I saw that Chris & Edi posted their first workout for their Build Series 2- 40 Min. Chest, Shoulders, Triceps & Core, so I wanted to give that a go. It was a tough Push workout, but I made it through. They are now adding warm-ups & cool-downs to their workouts, which is nice. This series is 10 weeks with 5 days a week workouts. I might loosely follow this, but I don't think I can handle 5 days of lifting a week, especially if the workouts are 40-60 minutes long. I'll see how it goes.

Today's workout- Chris & Edi- Build 2 Day 2- 40 Minute Complete Lower Body Workout. With the inclusion of the weight bench, I like this series better than the last for lower body work. Yay bulgarian lunges! And I'd much rather do an elevated hamstring bridge than the move where you lift the dumbbell holding it between your feet. I've dropped it a few times trying that move. Not a fan of the calf work, but I did it anyway since it was unweighted.
buffmama- Glad you like the NML metcon series so far. I will get to the workouts sometime. I do miss their warm-ups and cool-downs. I'm happy Chris & Edi have added both to their workouts, but Lyndsay's are superior with more mobility work included. Erica- I'm glad you're popping in with your updates, too!
