Oh my God!! Really?? Ouch!! How was this rotation even done? 400 any things I'd lose count of!! Boot camp once is hard but two times? ! Holy cow! What kind of results did did get with this? Was you a walking zombie? How did you tackle this? Pointers? I'd love to tackle and win a hard rotation like this! But it is hard to stick to one but then I end up seems like something always happens to detail me, feet, PF if it is a hard one. Or sometimes just if it ant a hard one just distractions in life and I end up having to do some other workout that isn't as long grr I know any workout is better then none. But I want to pick a rotation and actually find a beast of one start it and finish it!! I hate no finishing one grr
Lol....yup, it was a challenge, for sure. I had modifications and substitutions here and there but followed it according to the "focus" of each day. I didn't own any of the Hardcores yet, so I subbed Cardio Kicks drills for KickMax drills, PureStrength Legs for Gym Style, etc.
With the Lunges/Jacks/dips/push-ups etc I split it into a 4 set circuit. Week one was hard, week two much better, three was when I became Zombified by Wednesday, but went out really strong on week four. (By the way, I agree that Boot Camp IS hard once, but suprisingly, it is completely doable twice in a row. Really!)
Results: Don't think I lost pounds, but I got leaner and more "defined". My endurance, lifting strength and cardio abilities all increased, and I began getting better results with all my DVDs and running after the rotation. The best thing was what happened in my head: my whole attitude grew more positive and I gained renewed focus and motivation. I had a huge feeling of accomplishment and realized that I don't have to be afraid of pushing myself.
Pointers? Well, you must have your kitchen stocked and ready because this one will make you hungry. It will truely shock the body and that body will require quality nutrition. If you decide to choose a rotation and have trouble sticking to it, but yet really want to continue on and finish it, a lot of it is preparing the mind in advance for the commitment! If you have to miss a day here and there, or sub in something lighter due to PF or something, then just pick up where you left off when you are able. Once your mind is set for the challenge, you can make your body follow.
But this rotation takes quite a bit of time most days, so if you have a pretty busy life, you might want to look at something else- maybe something that calls for shorter workouts (because you can always add- on if you want to and time allows). I was really blessed that I wasn't working that month and my husband was out of town a lot....so I had very few time constraints, distractions and obligations.
I want to go "grrrr" too when my workout gets interrupted...
