Notes:  I am disappointed my heartrate didn't get up very high, but very happy I was able to complete the workout.  I knew that I wouldn't be able to do all the jump lunges in good form, so when I got tired, I would switch to doing alternating reverse lunges (it's the jumping lunges without the jump).  This dropped my heartrate.  Also, doing the ab exercises also lowered my heartrate a lot.

But, the fact that I didn't think I could really complete the workout and that I did, I am super happy.  I haven't had 3 intense workouts in a 7 day period in awhile, so this felt good.  I actually feel pretty good right now.  My husband is still sleeping and I kept the video sound on the laptop fairly low so he wouldn't be bothered by it.
