Time for new challenges: I'll keep repeating First Thing Water until the summer is over. July's challenge seems pretty neat so I'll start that tomorrow; hopefully together with a bunch of you.
I'm halfway through both my programs. Maybe I should align program starts to the first of the month? Something to think about.
What are you all doing this July? Is there a group-program going on?

It's a good day when TEN and Unbound focus on the same muscles. Then I already did Unbound's warmup during TEN and can then stretch the muscles I just used.

Yes, TOTALS Day 8, @graoumia.
My "favorite" exercise, sit-ups. In wonderful quantities.
If I may rant for a bit...
If you look at TOTALS, every fourth day starting with the first, you get this pattern:
Days 1, 13, and 21 have the same exercises, just with increasing repetitions. The same is true for Days 9 and 25. The other days have their own individual sets of exercises, drawing from the pool of exercises that are used in this group.
If we look at the second group, every fourth day starting on Day 2, we see something similar:
Days 6 and 26 (medium green) have the same four exercises each. Days 10, 22, and 30 (light green) only do jumping jacks. Which is fine. I don't mind jumping jacks. The other days (dark green) don't match up with each other.
The third group is my favorite:
No days that are out of order, a nice collection of four exercises, and punches. Punches are good.
"But @NightTigress," you might be saying, "these patterns are neat, I liked it the last time you analyzed exercises. But you promised me a rant! Where is my rant? I want my money bac—".
"Well, hold your horses," I'd interject. "First off, you didn't pay me any money. Second, that money shouldn't be going to me, you should support Darebee instead. And third:
What the HECK is wrong with the fourth group? Like look at this mess:
There are SO MANY exercises it doesn't even fit on the screen PROPERLY! There is NO COORDINATION, NO REPETITION. So many of these exercises are seen once and then never again. But there is one repetition. And what is repeated? The GODDARN WORST DAY I've had with this program. THEY REPEATED THE HECKING DAY EIGHT! THE ONE WITH THE HUGE AMOUNT OF SIT-UPS! And on the repeat there are EVEN MORE?!?! Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind sit-ups. If they're PAIRED SENSIBLY. If there are ENOUGH other exercises that my poor abs can get some rest. We aren't made to give 100% ALL THE TIME! And I've got to do yesterdays efforts AGAIN? HECKING SIT-UPS!
Okay, deep breath.
The show must go on. The streak won't increase by itself.
