Post-Launch

Does anyone have a favorite new Les Mills release?  I really enjoyed every class I've taken so far (RPM, Pump, CXWORX, and Flow).  Asa said the new Attack is super hard.  The new Flow has a bird pose (I've never been able to master that!), and it really works on stretching the hamstrings, which I desperately need.  CX has some great plank and side plank work.  Pump has a new move in the lunge track and reverses the presses in the chest track (so you're pushing from bottom to top).  RPM focuses on power training - I left with my legs feeling like Jell-o!

I really like this post-Launch period, when we do the new releases for 3-4 weeks.  It allows me to train in a class, not just take the class and see what it throws at me.  I know what moves are coming, and I can set measurable goals to improve a little each time I take the class over the next couple weeks.  I know there are some people who really don't like repeating the releases for that long (namely, people who take RPM every day!), but I definitely think it has its benefits!
