Can you ladies look at this, please?

I posted this on the ROTATIONS forum, but didn't get any feedback. Can you ladies give me some input?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to move to one body part per day, since there has been so much discussion lately.

I modeled this after what Cathe posted about the upcoming 4 Day Split she & crew will be filming soon.

D1 High Intensity Step / Chest & Back
D2 Cardio Kickboxing / Biceps
D3 Interval Cardio / Triceps
D4 Low Impact Step / Shoulders
D5 Legs & Glutes / Stretch
D6 REST / optional extra cardio
D7 REST

What do you think?
 
hello Katie

It looks good. But your biceps will get worked with back work on monday, I would just switch it around a bit. Here is my suggestion.

D1 High Intensity Step / Chest & Back
D2 Legs & Glutes / Stretch
D3 Low Impact Step / Shoulders
D4 Interval Cardio / Triceps
D5 Cardio Kickboxing / Biceps
D6 REST / optional extra cardio
D7 REST

Same idea just switched a few things. What do you think?
 
Hi,

Or what about....

D1: High Intensity Step / Chest & Back
D2: Legs & Glutes / Stretch
D3: Low Impact Step / Biceps & Triceps
D4: Yoga (layers on upper body fatigue)
D5: Cardio Kickboxing / Shoulders
D6: Circuit (LIC, HSC etc)(finisher as Cathe says)(go easy on shoulders)
D7: Rest or stretch

That takes out the interval cardio, but you could rotate High intensity step one week and interval cardio the next. I like to work legs twice a week.

Thanks for your input, ladies!

All of your suggestions look great -- exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for.

Thanks for the info about the biceps -- I will definitely take that suggestion.

As for abs/core, I will do this 3 times per week, just didn't put it on the rotation. This will be either Core Max or an iTrain.

I like this split better, but I'd switch it to D4:biceps; D5: triceps, since triceps get worked when shoulders are worked.

(although for best results, IMO, I'd not do chest and back on the same day, as they are both large muscle groups. I think it works better in general to spread out large muscle group work throughout the week, something like this, though you could switch it up a bit as well:
Day 1 HIS/Chest/shoulders
Day 2 Legs and glutes (and I hope the "stretch" is something you're doing after every workout, not just this one!)
Day 3: LIS/Back/biceps
Day 4: cardio kickboxing
Day 5: IC/triceps
Day 6: other cardio (maybe intervals?)
Day 7: rest/stretch)
