Hi Robin,
I figured I had to get in shape just to do the Intense Series. LOL
I was already doing an endurance rotation that was very similar to Sue's but I don't have a Bowflex and I wasn't doing as much ab work until January And... I didn't do MIC. Instead of MIC I did Imax or Circuit Max. I did 4 weeks of Endurance and 4 weeks of Strength
Here was Sue's rotation for endurance that was posted back in December. I'm copying from that post.
Mon. Pure Strength Legs and Abs, Bowflex Leg extensions and curls, cardio portion of CTX step and intervals and CTX All Step cardio and stretch.
Tues. Pure Strength Warm up Chest, shoulders, triceps and Back and Biceps no abs Cardio Kicks
Wed. Interval Max, Abs from PSLA and PSBB, Abs with Bowflex for resistance
Thurs. Pure Stength Legs, no abs stretch, Step works
Fri. Pure Stength Back, Biceps and Abs, Abs from S&H 2x and S&H Planks, MIC
Sun. Rest
I went on a Slow Heavy after that until I got the Intense Series December 30th. Again I didn't do the Bowflex but I added Interval Treadmill and I substituted Imax for MIC. MIC still scares me. LOL
Sue's Strength Rotation was (quoting from Sue)
"Mon S&H Legs and Shoulders, I use my bowflex to go heavier on the squats, and add more calf work and 3 sets each leg extensions and leg curls with the bowflex. CTX all step cardio only
Tues S&H Chest, Back and Triceps CTX Step and Intervals cardio only Also planks
Wed MIC and S&H Biceps, and Abs which I usually do 2 x
Thurs. S&H Legs, done same as Mon except no shoulders. Cardio Kicks sometimes abs.
Fri. Rythmic Step, PS all upper body exercises and one stretch no abs.
Sat. Interval Max, All of CTX abs
Sun Rest"
I personally think this helped build up my endurance and strength to do the new tapes. Doing Imax so much made Imax 2 easy for me.
I also feel that these high aerobic cardios prevented me from getting the bulky look from the weight work. This routine was getting set up for the rotation I would put together with the new series.
My back has shown the most improvement. My DH has remarked how defined it now looks. My legs are a close second. My arms have definition but as the girls know on the TBB thread, my biceps are still weak duing ME. I'm happy with my waist and upper abs. If I could just get the lower abs to co-operate then we've got it made.LOL
I'm interested in seeing what kind of strength rotation Sue puts together, because she once said that she spends more time on strength than endurance.
And strength is where I'll be headed when my rotation with the Body Blast is finished.
ps. Sue has mentioned that she shortens the ab work by using a dumbell for crunch segments.

Well, if you guys are using the PS Series for endurance, then all I have to say is http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/sprachlos/sprachlos040.gif Those look tough...(Make that 'Spawned Straight From the Bowels of Hell).
I can't wait to see WD's Intensity Rotation.:7

Hi Wanda,
I am glad the rotation worked for you. I just recieved the Intensity series last Friday. I have been going through all of my DVD's this last week so that I could become familiar with the workouts before I set a rotation. So far the only one I have not tried is Muscle Endurance. I did the Gauntlet today and the cardio portion of cardio and weights minus the weights. I was so anxious to try all of them that right now I am kind of sore all over. I did the Pyramid workouts twice this week and boot camp and all of cardio and weights and I Max 2, the Viper and I Max extreme. I might have been a little over zealous . I thought I would try Muscle Endurance Monday and then figure out what I want to do for a routine. I will let you know when I figure it out.

Wow Sue!!!!
I think you were VERY zealous. LOL Thanks for your reply and I look forward to hearing about your rotations.
I should get my DVD system up and going this week. I can't wait to try the Terminator, Gaunlet etc.
I can't think of when I've had so much fun by working out so hard.
