CAN YOU DO CHALENE EXTREME'S BURN 2 AND 3 BACK TO BACK?

[js70]

Can you do Burn 2 and 3 in the same day or let's say Burn 2 on Friday, and Burn 3 on Sat.? I'm just curious if that's possible or is there any reason why you have to take a rest or do cardio between the 2 workouts?
Thanks,
Jera

I'd take a day off between Burn Circuits. All 3 have somewhat similar lower body exercises that work the same muscles. They are designed to be done with a rest day between. I like to include a short cardio workout the day I do a Burn Circuit. Then I'll do a longer/harder cardio workout on the days in between.

Your muscles need time to recover that is why a cardio workout is placed inbetween.

I've done CLX workouts back to back, but using a rotation posted on the VF forum. I prefer this to the recommended rotation.

Add 15-20 minutes of cardio to strength days.

Week 1:
Monday-Lean 3
Tuesday-Burn 2
Wednesday-Push 2
Thursday-cardio
Friday-full body workout (I use a circuit style like Bootcamp, BM2, Jari Love's Extremely Ripped 1000)
Saturday- Hiit
Sunday-rest

Week 2:
Monday-Burn 1
Tuesday-Push 1
Wednesday-Lean 2
Thursday-cardio
Friday-full body workout
Saturday- Hiit
Sunday-rest

Week 3:
Monday-Push 3
Tuesday-Lean 1
Wednesday-Burn 3
Thursday-cardio
Friday-full body
Saturday- Hiit
Sunday-rest
