Thank you Caleb, that's what I do. Let me know how it goes!

@Pavel Macek What are your thoughts on practicing just the Sun Salutation in the morning, and then the remaining exercises in the afternoon?
I absolutely love GGP but I can see the time commitment in the AM becoming very lengthy.
I train S&S 3-4x/week and was wondering how best to work GGP into my schedule. Fortunately I have a job that keeps me extremely busy and time is of the essence!
Good point - I am still learning the movements and taking my time. I’m 50 and on paper the sets and reps goal appears daunting!Please check the various options in the programming section of the manual - of course you can split it.
Have you tried the full program yet? I don't think the protocol is lengthy - some arm swings + Sun salutation - about 10 mins, my 43 pushups and 86 squats take me just slightly more than 5 minutes. Some bridges, "Heavenly drum" and done: I am usually done in 15 minutes, 20 minutes tops.

@Pavel Macek As always, thank you for the fantastic answers!
As written in the manual - do not worry about sets/reps for time being: learn and master the exercises. Quote from the manual:
Month 1:
- Sun salutation: 6 sets (left = 1st set; right = 2nd set… )
- Pushups: 6 reps
- Squats: 12 reps
- Bridges: 6 reps
...how long does this take?
When you become proficient in them, you will get into a flow (which you should) and you will have your morning recharge finished in no time - and without a rush: "Who understood life is no longer in a hurry." I do just 7 reps less than you, my friend.
Second note: Goal = goal (somewhere in the future, not now)
Third note: So, unless you are 100 years old, I would object to GGP being a "lengthy program" - and if you are 100, power to you, you probably have lot of free time anyway.
Good to read this. At the moment I have the feeling that my sun salutations need forever. Maybe I stay for too long in the stretches.
I have to say it's fun to do something new. It showed me my weak spots and I am looking forward to see my progress.
It's good to have a short, minimalistic 'DO THIS' program. I love just doing it and not thinking a lot about options, additions, accessory work, etc.
Pavel, your work is amazing and I hope you have success with this.
I can already recommend it, even if you just take out 1-2 movements for your daily routines or training warm ups / cool downs.
I grabbed this during the release special because it fits the bill perfectly for what I've been looking for.
I do Q&D Snatches and loaded walking, and even though I have a morning Indian club routine I felt like I needed more to counteract the increased amount of sitting I've been doing while teleworking.
Also, your movement is extremely fluid. I hope I can get to that level eventually. It looks effortless. Thanks again!
Quick question since you mentioned updates earlier - will I receive an email notification about these when they happen? Thank you!
Bought it yesterday to still get the discount
As a daily OS practioner I can say that this is right up my alley. Obviously I haven't properly done it yet, but I can see this becoming my go-to recharge routine between heavier routines like barbell lifting.
Editing of the vids is great and I like the manual a lot. Many inspiring quotes in there, like you always do on your IG account @Pavel Macek.
Very nice work!
