Start of Foundation: you wonder how long it takes to complete F1-F4
Halfway through F1: you wonder how long it will take to complete the workout.
Halfway through F2: you wonder how long it will take to complete the set.
F3 onwards: you wonder how long it will take to complete the rep!

...or so it has seemed to me!

Ha ha, that's funny!!! For me:

Start of Foundation: you wonder if you can do all these cool gymnastic moves in about 2 months? 

First month of F1: hurry hurry through all the progressions so I can do all these cool moves soon… 

Halfway through F1: Poop, I surrender. Enjoy the moment…  I'll just take my time. Maybe one day? 

Halfway through F2: … (well, I will edit and add this here in a few years :) )

For me... After finding out about GymnasticBodies through the original 2004 Dragon Door article. (Awesome, I can finally start getting into similar physical shape as gymnasts.)

After finally purchasing the entire Foundation course...
F1... While reading the course material (Most of this stuff I have been doing for years now. I might as well make it harder on myself to be stronger later. I need to the get handstand course. I am glad I have a few years of experience in yoga)
F2... (Starting to get harder... I'll continue making this harder on myself to be stronger later.)
F3... (This is hard... I'll keep working on previous progressions so that I make this harder on myself to be stronger later)

For those who are halfway through F1, how long does it take to complete each Upper Body workout?  How about Core and Lower Body? :P

It depends on what progression you are in each exercise (how many sets/reps) you do. But say max 10 minutes per exercise (PE and iM). So no more than 30 mins….same for core… legs are just one exercise, so max 10 minutes… General question, general answer :)
