Here is my rotation. Please keep in mind I am used to doing 2 workouts a day (as my "day" job is sedentary and I like to burn extra calories with shorter workouts and these are all under an hour), HOWEVER, feel free to change it up if needed or if 2 a day workouts are not your thing. Again, I do the upper body weights from 4DS on Monday/Wednesday/Friday evenings BEFORE doing the cardio portions of the allotted shock workout and I do the 4DS cardio portion along with the "bonus bag" section of Shock Cardio on Saturdays. (I am not training legs on their own--I started to but decided that there is PLENTY of leg work with the nature of these workouts) Saturdays and Sundays are the only days I don't usually do 2 a day workouts---I usually just do those during the weekdays. So if you don't have a heavy bag or don't want to do 4DS or 2 a day w/outs, you could sub in any of the Shock Cardio evening workouts in the Saturday slot. Lots of ways to "fill in" to make it your own! I am loving it! I cheated and took my hip and waist measurements 2 weeks early and I lost 1 inch in each area!! I'M STOKED! As you can see I separated the HiiT workouts by 1 day and tried to keep the intensity at various levels........

Sunday: MMA Kickbox & Stretch

Monday: morning-Cardio Core Circuit
evening-4DS chest/back followed by HiiT 30/30

Tuesday: morning-MMA Fusion
evening-Athletic Step

Wednesday: morning-Circuit Blast
evening-4DS Shoulders followed by HiiT DW

Thursday: morning-MMA Boxing
evening-Step Moves

Friday: morning-Travel Fit
evening-4DS Bi's/Tri's followed by HiiT 40/20

Saturday: 4DS Legs & Core followed by the "bonus bag" workout



Enjoy!
 
Thanks for the breakdown of your workouts!

I wish I had a heavy bag, but I don't have the space....

I really admire you and will use these suggestions as time permits.
 
THANKS DENISE!

This is great! Very happy for you and your results! Wish me luck and hope i get the same results as you :D

Congratulations, Denise, and thanks for sharing your rotation! Glad that you're getting such excellent results. Keep up the great work!

Out of curiosity - what is your total planned duration of this rotation, and how far are you into it?

When I took my measurements above I had finished 3 weeks of a 5 week rotation. I'm in week 4 now. After I'm done with this rotation I'm doing my own version of a "Shockingly Insane" rotation mixing Insanity workouts with a few Shock Cardio workouts. Just this morning, as I was getting ready for work, my hubby and I really noticed how slim I am looking especially in my lower abs/outer hips. (I had to purchase all new workout wear since my old outfits fell off me when working out--which was NO FUN!) When I did an all Insanity rotation last year, I did the same thing and MAINTAINED all those results to this day. I think it is the "intervals" in these workouts (just like with Insanity) that really have helped my progression. Can't wait to "mix them together"!! :)

I think people should give these workouts a fair shot---they are awesome in my book! Matter of fact, I'm getting the MMA workouts for my 19 yr old daughter who is on a "get fit" kick! (no pun intended! :D)

Thanks, Denise

I appreciate you putting this up, Denise - I'm going to try it out for the next few weeks and see what happens!
 
Ooohhh nice mixture! I like it! Congrats on your progress! I'm currently doing the 3 1/2 month rotation with STS. I might have to try this when I'm through all that! I'm really enjoying the STS Cardio workouts! Thanks for sharing Denise!

Thanks dixiedog6!

Today I started a new rotation---I'm calling it "Shockingly Insane" because I'm mixing a few shock cardio workouts with daily Insanity workouts. I'm doing MMA Boxing and MMA Kickboxing each twice a week and HiiT Pyramid Double Wave 1 time per week. The rest of the week in the evenings I'm doing an Insanity workout. I'm hoping to lose another inch each in my waist and hips during this 5 week rotation! :)

Hi Denise,

Did you alter your diet in any way during your insanity workouts?

I get so hungry when I work out intensely!

You go, Girl!

Hi Amy!

I actually bumped my calories up just slightly to 1700 a day and really was aiming for just a 500 calorie deficit a day. (now if I got more than that due to activity, etc that was a bonus--but I wasn't aiming for it) I monitored my calories daily and really did about 1700 a day. I lost 4 pounds during my Shock Cardio rotation (plus the inch in the hips and inch in my waist). I think I had been undereating--I think alot of women do that in order to lose weight but I found when I ate a little more, the weight started coming off. (my body was probably screaming "yeah, I get to eat a little more") I didn't follow any "diet". I ate normal meals, even the occasional meal out or ice cream bar, etc. (I am human and I have a life ;)) I just make sure to log my calories daily into my body bugg program so I'm held accountable. So far so good on this new rotation.....Day 1 (yesterday) went wonderful! I'll keep everyone posted on the results from this one as well.

Hi Helene, you must have been reading my mind as I was just coming over to post my results using Shock Cardio!! I just remeasured this morning and I've lost another 1 1/4 inches from my hips!!!! WOOHOO! My waist stayed the same but I think my belly button area went down.

Today I'm starting my new rotation I'm fondly calling "I'm a Bootylicious Babe". I'm doing Butts and Guts several times a week, Pyramid UB twice a week and several short cardios. I started today and after a nice 4 mile walk with Leslie Sansone, I popped in B&G and did the all floorwork/abs segment and was SCREAMING the entire time! Wow, that is hard! I plan to do this rotation for 6 weeks and hoping the inches continue to drop. I'm aiming for a nice 5 lb weight loss by the end of March. Wish me luck!
