My suggestion, for what it's worth. Back off on the weights and only do two days per week of Power Hour/MIS. Power Hour is VERY intense, and I think 2 times per week is plenty.

Also, I see you have 2 days of interval tapes. I would back off to one per week. Substitute a regular step tape if you want, or walk, or something else. This will leave you with 2 total body workouts and 4 cardio workouts per week.

I agree that if you're feeling burned out, it's time to retool the workout.

Good luck, fitness chick!

Candy,
I agree with Honeybunch. On Wednesday, you could go for a long walk, like 3 miles, and then come home and do some floor legs with a body bar, and some stretching. It may be just the low-impact break you need in the middle of the week!
