Simple and Sinister | Week 1 Reflections

Here are my week 1 Simple and Sinister reflections:

• The Upside

  • It is simple. Two Exercises. Very clear program.

    • I like that I didn’t have to think about what to do.

    • The focus on approaching each set with a heart-rate that is under control made it very accessible, too.

  • After each session I felt particularly energized!

• The Downside

  • Even though it was the first week, only two exercises can get kind of boring.

  • I missed doing some of the more ballistic/dynamic movements.

  • I also noticed that my overall calories burned took a bit of a dip.

• Other thoughts

  • Turkish Get Ups still seem somewhat foreign.

    • It takes some mental energy to think through each rep.
