Did Round 42 through the Finale

When I got home from my family reunion weekend in Hood Canal WA yesterday I was thrilled to find Round 42 in the mailbox! I immediately uploaded the music to my iPod and gave it a quick listen through. As usual, the music could not be better - the warmup is one that will really start you off on the right foot - "If you don't want to party then you can GO HOME!" *L*

I watched the dvd and took notes, so today I popped in the cd and followed my notes on the white board in front of me, and I have sweat dripping off my chin at the moment!

The other sections look to be super fun too, I look forward to incorporating those this week!

My overall impression is that R42 is similar in mood to the past few rounds. Great music, great workout, nothing crazy different thrown in. I like that there are lots of kicks! My armpits are stinky and as usual, Turbo Kick delivers a FUN and FANTASTIC workout! It's hard to judge a round after doing only one time so it will be fun to feel the nuances in R42 sink in over the next few weeks.

Hope everyone is having a Turbo-riffic day!
