Intermediate Rotation Alternatives?

[nickie]

Hi all-

I'm currently working through the beginner rotation. I want to plan which DVDs I will need to buy for the intermediate rotation. I own several Cathe DVDs that are not in the rotation, so before purchasing any new ones, I was hoping for help figuring out what I might be able to substitute from what I already own.

Here are the DVDs that I own:

Body Blast Series (not including Timesaver)
Hardcore Series (not including Hardcore Extreme)
High Step Circuit
High Step Training
Basic Step/Body Fusion
Low Impact Step/Total Body Sculpting
Total Body Stretching
All 3 Cycle DVDs

I'm not unwilling to buy additional DVDs, but I also want to make use of what I have where appropriate. I was thinking I could use High Step Circuit instead of Low Impact Circuit. I could also possibly sub a premix from Kick Max for either CTX or Cardio Kicks. After that, I get a bit lost. Maybe it would make sense to buy Low Impact Circuit anyway and use it instead of Cardio & Weights. Perhaps I should get the Low Impact Series and work one or more of those in as well. Sigh.

I do want to make sure I have something with good form pointers early on- I would probably buy MIS/PH/Bodymax for this. Can either MIS or PH be substituted somehow for PUB and PLB? Can I use Muscle Max in place of something?

Thanks in advance for any help with this!

You have a pretty good selection to choose from. You could just do the upper body weights from muscle max for PUB or use one of the upper body premixes from push pull or even mix from supersets. The 2x upper body on push pull is about 45 min. Sub any Kickbox workout where needed. I would look at the premix menus on what you have and compare to the proposed purpose of the workouts you don't yet own.

I will reread your post and see what else I can come up with. On a phone so I can't page back.
