I'm really enjoying LIIFT4 so far. I love the change from Jillian to Joel. LIIFT4 is challenging, too, and when I finish a workout, I am SPENT. I'm working muscles that I didn't know existed, which blows me away, to be honest. I've been doing these types of workouts for several years and I thought I was hitting everything. Nope!
One thing that I really like about LIIFT4 is that you never do the same workout twice. At first, when I was reading through and looking at the calendar, I saw the same title a few times and figured that you got about 5-6 workouts, and you repeated them once a week. Nope. You never do the same workout twice. Cool! So that gives me a wide variety to go back to and play around with in the future. That's cool, and I REALLY like that. So that gives me, what, around 30+ different workouts? Four different workouts for eight weeks? I'm pleased with that!
I also really like the schedule. You're working out four days a week with LIIFT4 - workout 1, workout 2, rest day, W03, WO4, and two rest days. So for me it's Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday I do Country Heat (or have been) and then Thursday and Friday. Saturday is my scheduled rest day, and on Sunday I ride my spin bike. Lately I've also been spending Sunday mornings at the lake on my paddle board.
I gained around 5lbs at the beach, and I've been working on taking that off. I feel like I have, but the scale fluctuates and I've never been good about using the measuring tape. Ha. But clothes are starting to fit me better and I feel good. I feel like I'm getting myself back to where I was before the fire and that makes me happy. Last year, I really wasn't feeling my new paddleboard, but this year, I've made sure to work on core strength and I've dropped 20lbs from last summer, and I really like the new paddleboard. That is awesome, too! Crazy what dropping even 20lbs and working your core and adding in yoga can do for you. :)
