This looks pretty good to me!

Is there a music only option? Way to much chattering for me.

He has a spotify playlist option. I agree that he talks way too much. Especially after doing Carolines style for awhile. Im liking the workouts so far though.

I use AppleTV to stream to my tv. I just looked and there’s only a Make music louder or no music option. You could try to drown him out but you’d have to like the music. I don’t have Spotify so I can’t try that option.

He does talk A LOT! But it’s mainly coaching and tips with some Shaun T stuff in there, lol. But once you have the moves down, you can probably turn the sound down.

I previewed/fast forwarded through a few. They move at a slow enough pace to go as heavy as you can. He explains the move the first set but after that it moves smoothly through the other sets. The woman backgrounder is his trainer and a PT (with a doctorate). She has a nice calm presence and explains the physiology stuff sometimes. The other male backgrounder has a really nice smile! But in the workouts I previewed he doesn’t say much. He’s only in the first phase though, she’s in the first and second phase, and it’s just Shaun T in the last phase and short workouts.

Overall impression is that it’s very well thought out and sequenced. I’m going to try two weeks of each phase starting Jan 1st.

Collection 1: Dynamic Circuits -
Shaun T, Kristen (a PT that’s his trainer), and Chris
Upper body circuit 1 & 2
Lower body circuit 1 & 2
Total body circuit
Steady state cardio 1

Collection 2: Sculpt & Define -
Shaun T and Kristen
Total body
Chest & back
Legs
Shoulders, Glutes & Abs
Bis & tris
Steady state cardio 2

Collection 3: The Build -
Shaun T only
Chest
Back & abs
Arms
Legs
Shoulders & abs
Steady state Cardio 3

Collection 4: No Excuses -
Shaun T only
Chest & back
Legs
Shoulders, bis & tris
Abs & glutes
Total body

The nice surprise is the Steady state cardio workouts. They are 25, 29, and 32 minutes of all standing low impact cardio. He keeps it moving with walking, light kickboxing, and standing core moves. I really liked them! Not fancy but not boring.

Im on Week 2 of this and all I can say is this no JOKE!! So far so good.

[MARIKA]

Im on Week 2 of Phase 2 and this ain't no joke. I think I'm working so hard I don't have time to get annoyed with Shawn T Plus he has a lot of really cool new exercises.

Ugggh! The subscription to BODI is $179 for 2 years which isn’t bad - I just have too many things, but yikes, it is tempting…..

How many reps per set? I really love the 8 to 10 reps in STS2.

TIA,

Patrice

[MARIKA]

Mostly 12 reps per set.

Great job! I made it through three of the Collection 1 workouts then bailed to do CGX Unleash. I’ll come back to Dig Deeper later.

Keep us posted on how you’re doing!
