Yay! My Push DVD came yesterday, so I tried the first workout last night.
I liked it so far, but I'm reserving judgment. Next time I'm telling them I don't have a stability ball, because I hate mine and I hate using it. I also haven't gotten the bands they're supposed to send, but maybe they send them separately. The first workout didn't call for 'em, anyway.
Liked:
1. That they had a little timer in the corner for each exercise, counting out how much time you had left to do it.
2. The exercises themselves. I found myself doing stuff I've never been able to do before, like side planks and REAL, non-girlie push-ups (I could do ONE before; I did at least 10 in a row this time).
3. Bob explained and demonstrated the exercises very clearly, so I was confident I was doing 'em right.
4. It was definitely challenging, but not so hard that I couldn't do it. I think I only bailed on one exercise, and I was just one rep short.
5. Bob himself, of course. He was much like he is on Biggest Loser, and he actually did make me laugh a couple of times even while I was straining to complete the exercise.
Didn't like:
1. There was no counter to show how much time was left in the total workout, just the exercise you're doing.
2. I'm not sore at ALL today (although sometimes it takes me two days to feel it, so maybe it'll come). Not that I want to be crippled, but I want to feel like I've worked my muscles.
3. The stability-ball stuff, but that's my own fault.
