I'm officially starting the 8-week LMR rotation today, and today was Functional Upper Body. I added the bonus balance disc segment, too, since I wanted to check that out, as well.
Weight selections are pretty light with this, which I'm good with given I'm still healing from tennis elbow. I honestly don't see this as much of a strength-building workout, unless you really heavy up, but given the pace she's going, not sure that would be completely wise. I may eat my words tomorrow, though, if I find I'm sore.
Lot of compound moves in there designed to test your balance and coordination. They were fun and different than all your standard upper body moves. I appreciated that there was some core work in with the main workout, and that she finished with a decent stretch.
The bonus balance disc section was tough! Just like in the bonus balance discs for lower body, the upper body really tested my joint strength, especially at my wrists. A lot of the moves felt more like a total body exercise than just a focus on upper body. Even my glutes got some attention while I was holding those side planks. Really fun, and I will definitely be tagging on this bonus each time the the upper body workout shows up in my rotation.
Doing both together makes for about a 60-minute workout, so it feels easy enough to tag on the balance disc work.
Look forward to doing this again.
