Body by Dax at the condo
I've totally mastered dance workouts 1, 2, and 3 from the first series of workout videos. When I try 4 or 5 ... impossible. It's like when you're playing a video game and as you level up the Boss battles just get too difficult. I don't want my exercise routine to feel so difficult! I know the others felt impossible at first also, but these are qualitatively more difficult ... I might not have enough dexterity to master these. The other videos challenged me aerobically, they physically wore me out, but I persevered and was able to meet them. These videos don't wear me out, because I just can't do the moves.
Maybe if I had the time and inclination to try these every day, day after day, I'd figure them out, but I'm only doing these for cross training, to supplement my running, stretching, and weight lifting. Especially for the abs component, but these dance moves get my body moving in ways it would never move otherwise.
So, I've switched to a different series of videos for now. Same instructor, but different series, starting back at a new #1, and it was doable, I followed along, I got sweaty. I'll rest a bit and then do an abs video. I'll find out over the next few weeks whether this series of videos has an easier learning curve, or another difficulty spike halfway.
