Okay, so I had talked to Kevin, my trainer, and explained that my arms just weren't progressing like my legs. That I was getting all the leg stuff, and the vast majority of the legs-&-abs stuff, but the arm stuff was all behind. I wasn't successful on any of it. He recommended repeating the circuit, to further challenge legs, doing what I could with arms.
I didn't do that today, as I could tell that I was having a hard time with the heat (no AC in my house, where I did my work-out), but I'll do that tomorrow. It was odd: I just felt weaker than normal as I began my workout. I thought maybe it was laziness at first, especially since I wasn't feeling this work-out, but I think it was the heat.
We also talked about breaking up the push-ups, which I did on the first set, and about adding push-ups in on my off-days. I'll add that to my to-do list.
My daughter, who is 10, watched me do the circuit, keeping track of which exercised were next and how many I had to do, and then asked if I could guide her through the circuit. So I did. She's pretty dang strong. It was funny to see her try the Swiss-ball pikes - she's short enough that the Swiss-ball is a pretty decent challenge. And it's hilarious watching someone else get the hang of the step-ups: Left up, right up, right dow- Left down, right down, left- Right up, left up, left- Right down, left down...
