owwwwww.
done both afternoon and morning launches of attack, combat and pump.
have to say attack is insanely hard, the plyo track. squat burpee tuck jump combo is an absolute killer.
as for combat, scorpion press ups and plank! love them, they bloody hurt.
pump.... well that chest track. keep your squat weight on for that- trust me. don't lower it!!!
and the ab track, you really love that plate

I'm scared!! Had a month off and went back today for old combat and that nearly killed me! New class starts next week. New balance and pump tomorrow after work....

Pump will hurt.
Never done 22kg for a cheat weight but I did on Sunday. Bloody hurts.
It's worth it, there's an alternative track though that uses just the bar and no plates..... So that all depends on what your gym uses.
I'm sure if it's don Oliver plates there's no hand grip to do the move proper.
Prepare for DOM's

My god, I'm barely past 10kgs!!! Did pump this morning, loved the new routine but not sure about the tracks :-s We used kettlebells for the chest flies, it was too difficult to hold the bigger plates.
Must admit I'm a little tender tonight, dreading getting up in the morning lol.
What's DOMs?

Ow ow ow!!! Thighs are excruciatingly painful today after body pump last night :-( Do I take a day off or do body balance tonight?

that is the DOM'S delayed onset muscle soreness.
I have to use 2.5 plates for the flies, I can grip the 5's but it puts pressure on my thumbs and they are agony with them!
couldn't use 22kg for the entire track, just the last part with the bar is enough.
I don't take the days off if im sore after, just go easy and do low impact or go for a jog to ease any stiffness in my muscles. it does help, at the time my body is screaming at me for it.

Hahaha, Oh my god, yes I get you now! Still very painful today! Didn't go last night in the end, taking the dog for a walk was hard enough!! I'm planning tp go tonight and will take it easy x

the dog walk was enough if you was taking it easy.
I might go to a body attack class the day after but I don't do high impact in it if im sore.
still do attempt the squat, burpee and tuck jump though. my attack instructor is fab, if I am being lazy and don't do my burpee's she shouts at me

Haha, I need an instructor like that! Didn't make it tonight as finished work too late. Going to do pump and combat (short classes) in the morning. Pain is moving from thighs up to my chest so should cope ok.

Well after a hard week at work I didn't set an alarm, needless to say I woke up too late for my classes. Much less sore today, gardening will have to be today's exercise!

We don't have attack but it sounds crazy!
New Balance yesterday, the abs track OMG!! Bit sore today. WI today, 2lb off and 0.5cm off each thigh. Pleased but I feel like I've lost a lot more.
Happy Monday peeps x

Not sure if I like new combat or not. Only did the 40 min class and its tough but the choreography is confusing. Spent more time figuring out where I should be going than pounding imaginary people!
