Belinda- here's the link for Les Mills Combat Rotations calendar you can download
Team Beachbody - Get Fit: Fitness Tools: Workout Sheets. There are I think three different ones depending on if you got the extra dvds or which schedule you like based on whether you want to workout 5 or 6 days a week, either way it does offer some variety you can mix or match it however works best for you. The Combat workout system is eight weeks long and it just seems to fly by, unlike some of the other rotations of workouts offered by BB. I've noticed that for me my arms are getting more lean and cut looking and my legs are getting really toned, strong, more flexible and better range of motion. Also, my balance is improving too which is always a plus for me. I have been using 1 pound weighted gloves on each hand with it. I do know that the gloves they use in the dvd are not weighted the purpose of those is to keep the wrist in the correct position and supported so to avoid injury. It has been said that weighted gloves are not recommended because it could increase chance of injury due to improper wrist positions so be warned. I haven't had any problems but I do want to one day get the gloves they use to try. Also, I would imagine since their gloves are not weighted allows you to focus more on form and power of punches thrown and have less fatigue, which is good and why I would like to try those. Any way it is a great workout and there is always a modifier in every dvd to show the less impact option but still keeps the intensity up there. If you got some nice DOMS today maybe a nice stretching workout or a rest day is in order. Whatever you decide I'm sure will be great. Take care!
Roxie- I hope all is going well with the house selling thing. Wow, that's a lot of snow to wake up to, keep warm and if you have to drive in it be very careful! Ooh, nice choice of workouts today with BS Bis and Tris and All Out Low Hiit + Core 1 sounds like a winning combination to me, WTG!! Hang in there girlfriend!

Chris- Hi! Yes, I'm loving Les Mills Combat workouts, so glad I got the basic and then went back to get the extra dvds as well. To answer your question Lower Body Lean Out is 30 min long and its more cardio based but at a higher level than their regular combat workouts. I think the regular combat cardio's are 7.50 Metabolic Value and this one is at least 8.0 at least that's my call. I do wear my #1 weighted gloves when I do this no other weight is required. The emphasis is more on types of kicks and technique and drills, some plyo work. There are burpees to sprawls, scissors, jumping jacks, alternating plyo lunges that sort of thing. At the end Rach leads us is some ab work but not the usual kind this is more of what you might use in martial arts if your on the floor to kick an attack sort of thing. Its great and then there is the stretch and it feels great. I have done all the Extra dvds and really look forward to doing them as well as all the other Combat dvds and enjoy mixing then up and using them as they show in their rotations. Its all good with BC.
Girlfriend you've been hittin' out of the park with the killer workouts with Xtrain and the others WTG and ^^^5's, awesome job with your workouts
