August 2004 rotation question....Cathe or anyone:)

[Momtoaaa]

I am wanting to do the August 2004 rotation that focuses on legs... However, I noticed that there are back to back lower body workouts as well as upper body workouts together. Is this ok to do? I have copy and pasted the rotation below. Thanks for any input or suggestions.

The August rotation will focus on burning body fat and shaping the legs and glutes. Of course in the process we cannot ignore the upper body and core so a couple of workouts will be included to keep those muscles inspired as well. Enjoy!

WEEK ONE:

Mon….Legs and Glutes then run 20 minutes
Tues….Imax One
Wed….Muscle Endurance
Thurs…PS Legs and Abs and run 20 minutes
Fri……Cardio and Weights
Sat……CTX Kickbox (cardio only)plus the stability ball segment of PUB
Sun……OFF


WEEK TWO:

Mon…..Pyramid Lower Body plus 30 minutes Basic step
Tues…..Pyramid upper body plus 20 minute run
Wed…..Pyramid Lower Body plus 200 walking lunges
Thurs….Imax 2 plus 10 minute ab hits
Fri…….HSTA plus 10 minute ab hits
Sat…….KPC
Sun...OFF

WEEK THREE:

Mon…...Legs and Glutes plus 20 minute run
Tues…..Cardio kicks plus 10 minutes ab hits
Wed……Slow & Heavy Legs only plus 200 walking lunges
Thurs….CTX upper body plus Body Fusion
Fri…….Legs and Glutes plus 10 minutes ab hits
Sat…….MIC
Sun…….OFF

WEEK FOUR:

Mon….Body Max
Tues….Pyramid Upper Body plus 30 minute basic step

There were many people who did this, myself included, and it is really hard, but doable as posted.Really, only you can say if this is for you or not. It takes a lot of time, so you have got to be willing to give yourself 90-120 minutes a day for this.

Or, modify. I simply just don't have 2 hours a day to workout, and generally don't like to mix my weights and cardio anyway. So, while I was "supposed" to do PLB + 30 minutes of step today, instead, I did PLB and a core workout. Tomorrow will probably only end up being PUB, not PUB + 20 minute run. Just do what works for you - Cathe has yet to show up in my house to yell at me for messing with the rotation, and I'm *certain* that I'm going to have good results from this. Just modify to fit your needs (I need less cardio than I do the weight work, so I'm modifying accordingly to fit my time constraints).

In regard to your question about doing leg work back to back - it IS hard, and you are definitely sore, but the back to back workouts are different, so I find that while you are sore from the day before, it's somehow a different soreness and doesn't effect your ability to work at your best. For example, the first week has ME followed by PS: L&A - ME is more focused on endurance, while PS is more focused on strength. It was hard to do PS after an endurance workout, but not in a bad way. I was surprised myself at how well this worked for me.

Give it a go! I'm on week 2 of this one and LOVING it!

Jen,

I will be joining you on this rotation (as soon as some videos I ordered arrive) It sounds like a dewsy, but we'll have awesome legs if we stick to it I'm sure And yeah, I am going to have to modify as I don't have every single one of the workouts...most, but not all. So, just wanted to tell you should you decide to do this rotation, you won't be alone

I got great results from this rotation- I did it in November. I'm actually thinking about doing it again next month. Do what you can and you'll still get results. Good luck,
