    Just did a portion of the floor section. I'm not really fond of all the bouncing around they do during the first part. I think for now I'll just work on getting through the entire floor set.

      It's true - they all sorta bleed into one another. I saw the trail when we were driving but I'm not sure how close it is to my sis-in-laws house. Still, next time we go up there (with the bikes, especially), we'll likely search out the trail.

      Great x-train session! I hear that aqua-jogging is a great workout & a low impact way to keep your running training going. Smart idea to include it.
