Default What stage/workout are you on?

I'm just curious.

I'm supposed to be in Stage 2 (about done,) but a bum knee has me totally modifying the workout. I've looked ahead to Stage 3 and the exercises seem less "single" legged and maybe more appropriate for me right now. I'm going to experiment a bit today with lunges again (no weight) and see what I can do.

I'm thinking of just starting Stage 3 next Monday.

Surprisingly, I haven't gotten sick/injured at all this winter, and am starting Stage 3 tomorrow.

I'm doing Stage2 B2 tonight and then will be out for a week; I have a friend coming to town for the "big snowboarding trip." I'll do A3 once he's gone.

Default Stage 3

Another in stage three, here. I just did workout B for the first time today.

Ditto the previous poster who mentioned the workout lengths this stage: they take considerably longer! After over an hour Monday, I had to quit mid bodyweight matrix to hop in the shower; I was totally unprepared for how much time it would take. Now I'm getting up at 5:30--brutal for a non-morning-person the week after the time change!

I plan to start Stage One the week after Easter, since I don't think Peeps are part of the diet.

Why not just start now? Eat clean the rest of the time & toss a peep in now & then.

I'm on phase 2, doing B1 tonight (best I can, DOMS is really bad today... waa waa i know).

Lara, I hear you on the one-point rows. I knew I wasn't the most graceful person in the world, but it was all I could do not to fall over with each one! Pathetic!

Also 2B1 tonight. Also DOMS from 2A1.

The workouts look so innocent on paper...

I did Stage 2, B3 this morning. At least I think it was B3. Unless I have my clipboard in front of me I can't remember. Maybe it was A3. It was the deadlifts/bulgarian ss / intervals / ohlordypleasekillmenow routine.

That's definitely Stage 2, B. I just finished that B3 myself. I keep wishing I didn't have to do this one ever again...except that that means Stage 3 is coming and that's 1000 times worse.
