SueT, your outlook is much the same as mine. I don't always start a rotation on Mondays (like I used to) and sometimes I miss a day and just pick up where I left off. It's more now about doing "something" most days of the week and less about specifics, and just staying healthy. And you're right, the first time does always seem harder just because of fear of the unknown... lol! I really want to like these workouts, so I hope that happens. But, even if I don't warm up to the compound moves, it does look like there are lots of other workouts that I will like. So, worst case scenario is that I might substitute the compound move stuff and throw in some HIIT without weights, but that would be throwing in the towel and I do want to keep going and make "metabolic progress".
