I really liked this work out. The pull sets really kicked my butt and towards the end of the last set I had a hard time keeping pace. my mind was wandering and I could not remember where I started on the clock and part of the time I found myself looking at my watch to see how many laps I had done because I was loosing track. all in all it was a great work out with them progressively getting thought the rest of the week!
