Notes
It felt like a good start overall. I stayed with very low weights (something I was quite self-conscious and mildly embarrassed about) and tried to focus on form as much as possible. The workout, especially the 60-second rest interval, wiped me out quite a bit and I was a little disappointed with how quickly I got fatigued.
I felt I ought to go much lower on the lunge and the squat, although with the latter I went as far as I can go without my knees extending past my toes. At this point, my thighs were forming around a 30-degree angle with the floor instead of being absolutely parallel to it.
