Default Suggestions?

Hi Cathe.

Currently I am doing Weight Watchers, and own several dvds (that's putting it mildly), but have lost motivation over the past two months. I own most of yours (including STS), and have the Low Impact Series on the way. I am in need of losing 70 lbs. Do you have any suggestions what workouts I should be focusing on? I have two left feet, and I bought a spin bike recently (tried it last night and felt soooo awkward).

Any recommendations from you is greatly appreciated!

Hi gettinfit@42!

Stay on weight watchers faithfully (no cheating, not that you are ) in addition to using my LIS series along with brisk walking.

Workout 6 days a week doing the following four week rotation and then repeat the four weeks, in its entirety, substituting 10 minutes of each brisk walk to a 10 minute jog:

WEEK ONE:

Mon: Cycle max

Tues: Turbo Barre

Wed: brisk walk for 45 minutes (sub in 10 minutes of jogging)

Thurs: Athletic Training

Fri: Yoga Max

Sat : Cardio Supersets

Sun: OFF


WEEK TWO:


Mon: Slide and Glide

Tues: brisk walk for 60 minutes (find some hills) (sub in 10 minutes of jogging)

Wed: Cycle Max

Thurs: Cardio Supersets

Fri: off

Sat: Turbo Barre

Sun: Yoga Max


WEEK THREE:

Mon: Brisk Walking for 30 min (sub in 10 minutes of jogging) plus the Bonus Step Circuit Segment on Cardio Supersets

Tues: 30 minutes brisk walking (sub in 10 minutes of jogging) plus Athletic Training

Wed: Yoga Relax

Thurs: 30 minutes brisk walk (sub in 10 minutes of jogging) plus Low Impact Challenge

Fri: After Burn

Sat: Off

Sun: Turbo Barre


WEEK FOUR:

Mon: Low Impact Challenge

Tues: Total Body Trisets Lower Body Premix plus 30 minute brisk walk (sub in 10 minutes of jogging)

Wed: Cycle Max

Thurs: Yoga Relax

Fri: Total Body Trisets Upper Body Premix

Sat: Turbo Barre

Sun: Brisk walk for 50 min (sub in 10 minutes of jogging)

This looks like a great rotation for me.... an older intermediate type....

Think I'll give this one a try... thanks Cathe !!

I'll have to substitute something for Cycle Max, which I don't have..... but I can do cardio at the gym..
