That does sound great! Can you/ Do you share your blender workouts? Would I be able to find them?

Yes, I have shared some over the years.....nothing real recently tho'......Do you use the
blender shared workouts section? I will go in there and see what I have and let you know,
might be several days tho'''
ETA: the tutorial says the quickest way to find a shared workout is by number. If you
find numbers of workouts you want to try, you can post here and I can let you know if
it's mine....but if it's one you like once you import it, it wouldn't really matter if it's mine
or not
Really, you can blend the above easily, pick a warmup you like, then do the Jump Rope
# 1, pick 2 cardio exercises you like, then do Jump Rope # 2, pick 2 more cardio,
then Jump Rope #3, and so on for 4 rounds (cause there are 4 jump rope chapters,
and end with a cooldown & stretch of your choice!. Easy Peasy!

Thanks! I’ll have a look - it’s just that I have to use my laptop to blend workouts and it’s in the attic, and the WiFi is rubbish …etc.
Thanks again,

Yes, you have to go thru the website on a computer to work with the blender and I think,
not positive, that you would import shared workouts that way as well. For example,
when you go into the app, and you see “shared” workouts to choose, that will be
workouts in your library whether you blended them or imported one previously
Sounds like a plan to me!
. I made a short 15 min. Cycle Power blender & tried thatout ….liked it…of course it was only the warmup, Seated Tabatas & cooldown to make
15 min.
. I got me a padded seat cover for my bike at Walmart the other day, fits perfectly & makesa Hugh comfort difference…
I blended a workout using the 4 Kickboxing Combos and the Kick Combo from Gloved Up and Sweaty and the 4 Jump Rope rounds from the bonus. Also added in the lateral skates from the bonus. I interspersed the jump rope rounds with the kickboxing combos so instead of using boxing gloves, which I would have had to keep taking off and putting on, I used 0.5kg hand weights for the kickboxing rounds and my cordless jump rope, which has small weights in the handles, for the jump rope rounds. With short breaks in between this came in at around 38 minutes. I still can't jump with my hip tendonitis, so I keep everything low impact including the jump rope.
Yep, I did one along those lines too, with kickboxing combos & jump rope. On this one,
like you, I will not use gloves because of taking off & on. I will probably use my little
pod egg weights instead.
That’s exactly me too….that’s the beauty of a ropeless jump rope, you can still do it and
go as low impact or high impact as you want.
ETA: I have made 19 more new blenders from these workouts
I completely agree that they are great but I expect nothing less. I've done all 4 workouts so far as time savers except GUS, which I completed the whole main workout. I'm transitioning my body from 3rd shift hours back to 1st shift so I had to take it easy but I already know I'll be upping my weights for Killer Legs and TBBarbell. Whenever I do a new kickboxing routine it rekindles my passion for it. And the spin workout is excellent. Top notch across the board!
The new Cycle workout is good.....but I just can't stay on a bike much more than about
20 min. It's not that I can't do it, I just get bored....I recently got a seat pad for my bike at Walmart that helps with that part 100%, but not the "antsy" bored feeling!I can handle the off & on the bike workouts I do elsewhere which are cross-training, (on the bike, then off for weight exercises, then back on the bike, etc.) I love those type of cycle workouts

I can handle the off & on the bike workouts I do elsewhere which are cross-training, (on the bike, then off for weight exercises, then back on the bike, etc.) I love those type of cycle workoutsI'm ok on the treadmill, but I do the scenic workouts mostly, but even scenic workouts on the
bike for me get dull. Even on my elliptical, 20 min. is about the limit, unless, again, I am
doing the cross-training type workouts....it must be something about the "round & round"
motions, on the bike you're sitting and on the elliptical, you're standing!! A rowing
only workout, 15 min. is about the limit, but I mostly do the off/on rower workouts which
go longer. I just have to have variety, I do believe!

Yeah, I'm "subscription" poor, right now I use IFit, Hydrow & Peloton apps for workouts.
IFit has workouts for all machines, Hydrow is strictly rowing, but they have the BEST
circuit training workouts, 10 min., 20 min. & 30 min. ones , on & off the rower and Peloton
has rowing workouts now too, short, med., & longer ones & also rowing bootcamps along
with tread & bike bootcamp. Peloton is pretty pricey tho., well, honestly, they all are, but
I use them alot and that's not counting Cathe's OnDemand. Like I said, subscription-poor.

Yup, that’s why I like them too!

Years ago when I had an elliptical, I got one of Cathe’s cycling dvds and tried to modify it using the elliptical. The machine I had was one that had adjustable stride length so I set it to the shortest stride and would do a semi squat holding onto the stationary bars on the console and it was fun. My machine had two special programs called arm blaster and glute kicker so that squat position was already familiar. I only did it a few times and ending up selling the elliptical because my knee seemed to be better, my machine was getting older and not as smooth and I wanted more floor space.
