  1. Michelle, I should know by now that when I do one of your workouts, it's going to kick my butt (in a good way!)! I thought this one wouldn't be too bad but by the end of one set, I was sweating like crazy and could already feel it in my legs. Thanks for this website! I look forward to trying more of these workouts and getting over this plateau. Hugs! Annette

  2. I felt the same way as Annette! Massive amounts of sweating and burning legs; made it through two sets. But, that means it's a fantastic workout... so I'll take the burn! By the way, I enjoyed the "break" from weights and using my own body weight instead for these exercises.
