Hi all,

Another rotation, that starts with a rest week, in the beginning I used to forget about that, and it would catch up to me, so now, its just part of the schedule.

On my way to 4-Day Split!

I like these rotations that everyone is coming up with, it really helps me know exactly what I'm doing each day. I have doing the workout 6 days a week and I like how you incorporate another rest day if needed. I also like the idea of a rest week because there are time when I'm feeling worn out and knowing that I can put in a rest if needed is awesome.

Thanks Linda

Hi ebonynicole,

Just experimenting with new routines & plans to see what works, it seems though when I stick to the plan, and give myself enough rest, I work harder & get better results, hope this one works too! I'm getting stronger!

Hi Linda...definitely kicking it up a notch I see!! I agree, I've been taking Mondays and Fridays as rest days. I cant see myself working out 6 days a week ever again, seems with work and workouts I dont have any time left for anything else if I've got 6 days a week already taken!

A question about your rotation.....I notice you have the same workout flanking your mid-week rest day, what's the thought behind that, it's not something I've done before so always looking for other ideas. (In my brain I was rearranging things in your rotation....ie. KPC, PushPull----Rest----KPC, PushPull instead).

I'll check back later....time to workout!

Hey Stace,

this is my plan,

beginning of week is circuit training or any technical i.e. more complex workout (and just doing KPC & KM for the first time), middle of week is strength training, end of week cardio. DrillMax always first after a rest day, no matter what premix.

the rest days are required, between strength sessions for recovery & end of week. The routines will be more difficult for me, & I'll probably be increasing weight this go 'round. Generally, still weights / cardio / weights / cardio.(more of a 50/50 split, last month was a little more cardio, lite on weights) It's just how I planned it for this month.

Congrats on the 3 miles, you rock!

Could easily (read good workout, not easy) do this week again, for a couple weeks, did the all Push premix with all Pull premix together instead of straight thru on Wed. & Fri (it's still works out to be about the same time). followed by yoga stretch. Think I'll follow thru with the rotation as prescribed; modified the jumps in KPC, & the Hi from Hi/lo; altogether less modifying, and slightly more weight on the second of the two weight days, that worked well.

Gave up the heart rate monitor for a while, the Borg scale will do for now & switching focus to nutrition rather than daily calories burned could yield a different perspective on all activities, empirical evidence is the best!

another keeper!
have a great workout, have a great day!
