Timesaver Rotation?
- Thread starter l23
- Start date
I know this is probably the "well, duh!" answer, but I've just been doing them back to back in their designated order, kind of like CTX. I don't hit the same body parts any 2 days in a row, except maybe abs, and the aerobics are suitably varied. As is, it's a nice "light" week.
If you believe you can get all your cardio needs in 30 minutes (which Body for Life promotes), then yes. The majority of these workouts is cardio--usually 30 min, except for #5 which is mostly leg strength and endurance work. If there is any skimping, it's on the weights work. You pretty much only do 1-2 body parts per workout but you do several exercises. It was enough to make me sore a few times.
I think they are great for maintenance. However, due to their shorter length I don't think you would make any giant strides strength, endurance or aerobic capacity-wise but they are great for time-challenged people and are sequenced very intelligently.

There was a great circuit rotation posted on videofitness about this. Here is the link:

I'm coming off a workout hiatus and thought I would use the Timesaver dvd to get me back into the game. Here is the rotation I have come up (and plan on starting today):
Day 1: KPC/LG +Abs Premix
Day 2: Timesaver 1
Day 3: Timesaver 2
Day 4: Timesaver 3 + Floorwork from L&G premix
Day 5: Rest
Day 6: Timesaver 4
Day 7: Timesaver 5
Day 8: Rest
Day 9: KPC + Abs Premix
Day 10: PH or ME
Day 11: C&W Step Only Premix + Ankle Weight Work from L&G
Day 12: Rest
Day 13: Timesaver 1
Day 14: Tim3saver 2
Day 15: Timesaver 3 + Floorwork from L&G premix
Day 16: Timesaver 4
Day 17: Rest
Day 18: Timesaver 5
Day 19: Rest
At this point I will re-evaluate the rotation and tweak it from there. I really want to concentrate on my lower/abs on down, so I tried to add a few extra lower bodies in there.

In January, I did the Timesavers Sun-Thurs, and Boot Camp on Saturday. I just did IMAX2 for the first time and made it through with no additional breaks, and ME for the first time in about 5-6 months, and did the biceps with 20 lbs all the way through with no breaks for the first time ever, so I think my rotation was beneficial.
