I did an attempt to note the exercises, because I can't do the whole thing yet. And to do less repeats or less time for training, it's easier for me to do this without the video. Perhaps someone also wrote it down? Otherwise, perhaps it's useful for other people as well?
I noted it also there:

Hello Katja,

Thank you so much for sharing this!

It looks really great!

What a fantastic way to tailor the program to your needs!

That is exactly the right way to go about it, slowly repeat the reps until you can do them.

Looking forward to hearing how it goes!

Best,
Natalie
