Sometimes, it just way too much at 5 in the morning! So, I made it to Rip't Circuit in Beta and that's when I pulled the plug. I realized that some of the moves appear to a bit "dance-based" at times which, of course, is Shaun T's background. Shaun T, of course, is entertaining but there is a lot of shuffling around. My favorites from Alpha are the Lower Body and Ab Intervals workouts.
I also realized that doing a full rotation of these workouts would be counterproductive to my half-marathon training.
I felt like I was losing some upper body definition too. By week three, I started to miss my weights. I liked the fact that they are short and intense. I followed the rotation for about three weeks in July. I still have to do the Core and Upper Body Beta workouts. On the bright side, I did really like the Alpha Lower Body and Ab Interval workouts. As for Rip't Circuit, I thought it was kind of easy (easier than the Alpha workout). After doing the Alpha one a few times I decided I didn't care for it much - it has an awkward boxing sequence that turned me off, and despite it having a lot of pushups (which I like) I just couldn't get into it. I am much more of a HIIT person - gets my heart going and provides strength at the same time. As I wrapped it up I realized my heart wasn't going any more than it does on the elliptical. For part of it I followed the main group, for part I followed the modifier (who was too easy) and for part I did my own thing. I did Speed 2 for the first time last week. They aren't super high impact (no cannonball jumps for example), but more just shuffling and bouncing around. For me, I decided the non-stop bouncing around in the Speed and Cardio workouts just isn't my thing.
