Look Great in Eight rotation

hey experts!
I wanna do this Look Great in Eight Rotation by M&Fhers. I've got the calendar and magazine w/ the rotation. My problem is this: I wanna use the NUMEROUS tapes I've acquired. I just don't know how to do this.

Has anyone done this rotation and use tapes?? If so, which ones on what weeks??? I've got cathe, SS, Firm, TJs, TLTs, PY, Jari Love and others.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks:)

take care:)

Hi Gloria, I did this a couple of years ago and I'm pretty sure I did the entire rotation with just Cathe workouts. I had a different computer at the time (I believe it was end of 2003 or beg of 2004) so will see if I can find it for you. It's probably be a day or two before I can access it.

Also, just to let you know, I loved doing this rotation!

Gloria: I'm really interested in this rotation, please post what the rotation is from the magazine.

Jo: I hope you find it, I'd like to see this one, too.

Thanks to both of you, looking forward to what you find.

Marcia.

Okay, I found what I actually did not what I orginally put together (still looking). It follows the rotation pretty much as described but I think sometimes I did more cardio then it said and I might have done Heavy week a little different. When I do S&H I really like doing one body part a day. You know how sometimes you're in the mood to do what YOU want and not what the rotation says! :) Anyway, if nothing else, I hope this helps you think about what you want to do. For for the Circuit week, I used Supersets and I know a couple of times I experimented with the premixes but I neglected to write down which ones. I did this rotation January & February of 2004. I felt really good - I didn't have any weight to lose but I know my arms definitely had more definition and my thighs (my most troubled area) were tighter and my pants fit loser. I was eating clean also - no sugar (my downfall). I remember I felt really energized. :) :) I hope this helps!

Well I can't find my original "orginal!" I just wanted to add that any modifications I made were really based on my schedule (I workout before work) and my energy level. I did find that this, though it does look like a lot, did not wipe me out!

Let me know what you end up doing should you decide to do this...we have more workouts to choose from with the Hardcore series! In fact, since this came up, I feel inspired to make up another rotation and incorporate some of the newer DVDs!

Jo
 
Jo: thanks so very much for this. This is very good! So, if and when you redo your rotation w/ the hardcore series, would you post it here, PLEASE??

thsnks:)
take care:)
