Has anyone tried the total body premix on the 4-day split yet? Any feedback? I was thinking of trying the total premix but choosing 1-2 rounds from each section to make it shorter and more doable for me. Then, the next time I could choose different rounds. I really like total body workouts and its great to be able to go heavy.
4DS total body?

I have not tried it (I've been mixing up the muscles, though, to do a Chest/Shoulders/Triceps and Back/Biceps workout from the premix to avoid switching DVD's). BUT, I like your idea of choosing the rounds of, say, 1 and 2 from each set. AWESOME idea! That would get the full body w/o having the workout extend SOOOO long! Thanks for the idea! I need a full body workout to top this week off... that just may be it!

Let me know how you get on, you might get to it before me as I have a sore throat/fatigue thing going on at the moment.
I've been through the total body premix and noted down the chapter points, so that I can easily skip forward to the bodypart/round that I want using the premix rather than changing DVDs.

I did it this morning. It's long (97 min.) but it goes by pretty quickly, and it is definitely thorough. If one was time crunched, you could easily do just one set of everything. It also helps to have all your weights ready to go, your step set up, etc.
IMO, the weight work on 4DS is perfect. Pretty heavy weights without 8 zillion reps of everything or 300 versions of one exercise. I think this is a great series!

I myself haven't done it but I have considered it since someone else mentioned trying it out. I guess the length of time would depend on which circuits you chose... but if it's 97 minutes total body and legs are about 30 minutes, I'd say upper body would run about 60-65, so any skipped sets would save you some time... I haven't marked down the times yet. Maybe I can get that done and let you know.

Hi There,
I have done this one 3 times, its great!! 67 minutes just for all upper body, back/chest, shoulders, bi's/tri's. No warmup. I just added BC warmup. the leg section you can add on. Really, a thorough total body workout.
