qualtiy and variety

Hey I was just wondering if anyone else thought that workout 4 of the nine week program on medium was a little silly. Practically the whole workout, not including warm up and cooldown, was squats in one form or another.
While this was great for the achievment of 1000 squats it made the workout 1) kindof boring, and 2) sort of dangerous. That many squats one after another does tire out your legs if you are really working it, but to complete everything -if you are just getting in shape- makes your legs wobbley and hard to keep your form.
Yes you can stop and take a break I realize that, but some people will persist through it and possibley hurt themselves.
Is there any other type of leg exercise that could be substituted into that workout? Are there other workouts in the 9week program that are similarily ridiculous in their repetativeness?
Can you get other carido options than jump repeats - how about jumping jacks or Wacky Jacks? (for variety)
I really like this game and the workout it provides but I find that the variety of exercises drops off quickly.
Could you make a patch or something to help keep us motivated?
|||Yeah, it was insane ! I had to get out of the view of Kinect 4 or 5 times during the session to take a pause. At the end i was sore, this was the toughest since i began the game.
It had 4 warm-up and 4 cool-down, 14 squats, 4 running/biking.
28 (total) - 8 (warm-up/cool-down) = 20
So 18 of 20 exercises was squats/running/biking !!!
I did "Cardio Racer" in YSFE and it's a little bit harder : 28 min of cardio (no warm-up or cool-down).|||Thanks I thought I was the only one! I did workout five today and it started out with squats. I had to laugh!|||Yes, there are more! I just completed one in phase 2 that was almost entirely jumping. This would have been okay if I wasn't suffering from a horrible dry cough :D
