Hi Debbie!
I wanted to ask your opinion on a rotation that I made up. I am trying to really get some definition, especially in the upper body. I have discovered that I really like going heavy with upper body weights. For lower body, I need to go lighter as that is the area I bulk up in. I am trying to really eat clean and have been following the recommendations in BFFM. Anyway, here is the rotation I made:
Week 1:
Sun: 4DS Chest/Back-30 minute interval run
Mon: Cardio at gym (itread, elliptical, whatever I am in the mood for) and abs
Tues:4DS Bis/Tris/Shoulders
Wednesday: Cardio and I teach an hour long pilates/yoga blend
Thursday: Cathe Legs and Glutes or Butts and Guts(minus the Guts)
Friday: Cardio and Abs
Saturday: Off
Week 2 follows the same pattern using Amy Bento's Slo Mo instead of 4DS, but keeping the same muscle groupings.
Week 3: same muscle groupings only this time I am using the gym for the weight work and following the Muscle and Fitness Hers 3 step principle (1 set with DB for 8-10 reps, 1 set with BB or Cable Machine for 8-10 reps, 1 set using Nautilus type machines for 12-15 reps). I found this idea in the new issue.
My plan was to do a rest week on week 4, similar to P90X and then repeat the same workout series for weeks 5-7 using different muscle groupings followed by a rest week. Do you think this would work or should I do the rest week after a full 6 weeks of weight work? Thank you so much for any suggestions you can give me!!!!('
