I will if I receive it. I know they recorded it and I heard that we get free copies, but I'm not 100% on that.

My weekend was great! I'm a member of the Carolina Concert Choir here in Hendersonville, NC and we had our spring concert where we sang Franz Scubert's Mass no. 2 in G major and Ola Gjeilo's (pronounced Yay-lo) Sunrise Mass. It was amazing. I'm doing the two things I love most in the world again! Working out and choral singing. Discovering jump rope was a game changer for me, so thank you so much for being part of the reason I get to do what I love again! It also helps with breath support while singing, so it's a win-win! Thanks for all you do!

I usually work out five days a week but Friday and the entire weekend was very busy for me , so I wasn't able to work out on Friday. I'm a member of the Carolina Concert Choir here in Hendersonville, NC and we just had our spring concerts this weekend. They both went very, very well. I'm looking forward to getting back to working out tomorrow. I really don't like skipping workouts, but it was necessary on Friday. I'm going to make up the workout I missed on Friday by doing two workouts. Can't wait! I love jumping rope!

JRD Community Dudette I think I figured it out. The issue was that I usually let the video sit so it's ready to go immediately after my warm up but I didn't do it that day. Not enough of the video was loaded to play it without interruption. I'll just remember that I need to let it sit like I normally do. Thanks!

This video keeps pausing on it's own. It keeps either thinking I've started the video at the beginning or it skips to the end.

Shredded Ninja M1W4D1 keeps stopping on it's own to buffer or something, so this workout today hasn't been the best. It's not my internet because it shows the internet is absolutely fine. I'm not sure what's going on with it, so I shut it off and just did my own thing. Got my workout in and I'm ready to move on with my day!

Just knocked out two Shredded Ninja workouts. M1W3D3 and M1W3D4. Feeling alright. Off to practice Schubert's Mass No. 2 in G Major and Ola Gjeilo's Sunrise Mass for my concerts on April 26th and 27th. After a protien bar and a nice shower, that is. It's been a little stressful lately but I'm still doin' the thing!

I took a melatonin and got somewhat better sleep. I guess we'll see how my workout goes. Gonna practice Sunrise Mass more today. I've been singing in choirs since I was eight years old. I was in a massive concert choir in high school and we were absolutely incredible. We even got invited to Carnegie Hall to perform Mozart's Requiem in D Minor. The Carolina Concert Choir is supposed to be a really good choir, but feel like it's not nearly as good as my high school choir was. My town is full of elderly people, so of course, the choir is too. Many of their voices have deteriorated over the years. Our men's sections are just sad. We have like 4 tenors, 5 baritone, and 7 basses. Our women's sections are pretty good. We only practice as a choir once a week and we are expected to practice on our own the rest of the time. It seems like most of the choir isn't practicing. It's so disheartening to go from being in such magnificent choirs to what I'm in now.

Things have been hard lately with my workouts. I'm a member of the Carolina Concert Choir here in Hendersonville, NC and we have our spring concerts coming up on April 26th and 27th. We're singing an INSANELY hard piece by Ola Gjeilo called Sunrise Mass. I feel like we're not ready and it's making me lose sleep. A lot of it. Which is affecting my workouts. I've been practicing my music at least three times a day in effort to maybe make myself feel more confident in the music, but I'm just one person in the choir. All of my fellow Altos are struggling a bit with this piece, so even if I perfect it, they may not have. I can't wait until these concerts are over. I need good sleep again so my workouts don't suffer.

Anyway, I'm sorry I've gone off topic. If you love choral music, go to YouTube and listen to Ola Gjeilo's Sunrise Mass sung by the Bel Canto Choir. It is one of the most jaw dropping, awe inspiring, chill inducing pieces you'll ever hear in your life. And I get to sing it. It's a masterpiece and I just want to do it justice.

I was just browsing all of the workouts and I've noticed that there is absolutely no focus on the abs. When I think of a shredded Ninja, I think shredded abs, yet this only works on arms and legs. That disappoints me a little. Why ignore the abs?
