Hi guys. I have been lurking around these posts for about a month and you guys are phenomenal. I would like to start freestyle training but need some help. Does anyone have a workout to suggest. My legs are really flabby and I get so depressed. I tend to bulk up really quickly on the bottom . I have a pear shape. The only cathe tapes I have are KPC and Legs and Glute. Any advice?

Hi Minnie
Legs& Glutes are great, love this dvd... this is a great workout for Freestyle.
I think that KPC is more cardio, than anything, so just use the Legs & glutes 5-6 times a week, probably 6 for starters.
At least 4 days of week of cardio 20 to 30 minutes a day, I always did cardio everyday......
Hey you can only use what you have, just so happens Legs & Glutes is a great one.....
Hope this helps, Carole can probably add more info.....

Hi Minnie...Rhonda knows her stuff as she is one of the ladies that got ME started on Freestyle!
Check out this recent link too http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=4&topic_id=243752&mesg_id=243752&page=7
Alot of info and other links on Freestyle. Plus some rotations you could check out...the best bet if you can is to get the Freestyle book. The link is in the above thread I posted. Hope this helps some...

I have a question if y'all don't mind...
I just got the GS series for Christmas and I did Timesaver # 1 tonight with light weights since I'm trying out freestyle...is GS okay to use for freestyle?
I ask because the timesaver I did was not intense enough with light weights. When it was over I was lookin' for more!
I don't have the time to put more than 30 minutes max towards legs rigth now as I do 30 mins of cardio plus u/b or abs each day too. If I up my weights I won't be in my freestyle weight range any more...maybe if I chose different exercises via mix n match to make my own 30 min work out?? I've done this with L&G and been satisfied with it. Maybe I just need to re-work my rotation?
Any thoughts, ideas, etc?
THANKS!:+

Hi Wendy...yes GS is good for Freestyle, just use light weights. I don't recall what exercises are in the Timesaver premix on GS legs? But I split up GS Legs for freestyle. One day I do the Standing only and the next day the Floorwork section. I have also done this with L&G. I also agree with you mix and matching to fit into your 30 min time slot for legs....HTH......Carole

Hi Carole!
Thanks for your response!
I'm going to play around with it and see what works out best for me.
If I cut the cardio back a bit I could focus on more leg work but right now with the holidays it's not a good time to do that. Maybe after the new year when I'm on track with my eating again I will try that for a month and see what happens.This week is my 4th week doing my current rotation so I'm due for a change soon anyway!
I'm very excited about using the ENTIRE GS series! I have to do upper body tomorrow so you KNOW GS is coming out for that too! I'm sure I may have to mess around with those too to make it work time-wise for me but that's what keeps it interesting, right? :+
Thanks again!

I'll let you in on something that worked for me. When I did my 1st P90X rotation I was worried about the lack of cardio...but...with clean eating and alot of lifting I did loose the weight I wanted.....so you never know what will work til you try.
I love the GS series and I hope you do too. Something about those bands that really give the muscle a burn...Yes, it pays to keep it interesting......Carole
