Hi Laura.
I just received Barry's BootCamp too and have worked out a rotation for myself.
I plan to use the first 4 discs in order. I will be doing weights first, then cardio but will probably sub in my own cardio choices most days. The fifth day will be yoga only and day six I have reserved for running. The following week I will do the full body work out (disc 5) along with some cardio every other day. On 2 out of the 3 other days I will do yoga and on the last day I will run. I will alternate these 2 patterns for a month. It will look something like this:
weeks 1 and 3
m: arms and abs/cardio
t: butt and legs/cardio
w: shoulders and back/cardio
r: yoga
f: chest and abs/cardio
s: run
s: rest
week 2 and 4
m: full body/cardio
t: yoga
w: full body/cardio
r: yoga
f: full body/cardio
s: run
s: rest
Have fun!

Wendy - I like your rotation idea. I'm getting ready to do a Barry's, and I just might follow your rotation. However, I may work a full body in somewhere in the week....not sure.
To the person getting the SWAT's and Barry's....you could easily use a SWAT workout in place of the BArry's Full Body workout (which I plan on doing), as Barry's is using body weight only and my shoulder gives me problems doing too many pushups.....so I might sub SWAT.

Laura, below are some descriptions of the Barry's BC that I have tried so far. I posted these in the Check In for Xers. Hope you find it helpful.
Barry's Bootcamp (just cardio) Shoulders and Back was actually a very good workout. Here are the different drills and then you repeat the whole sequence.
Running in place
Jumping Jacks
High Knees
Jumping Rope (all Jumping is done as if you where jumping rope)
Jump Forward and Back
Jump Right / Left
Jump Forward-Middle/Right-Middle/Back-Middle/Left-Middle
Jump on Right Foot
Jump on Left Foot
Alternate Jump from left to right
High Jump (This is feet shoulder width apart and then you jump as high as you can, land on your feet)
Squat for 30 seconds
Knee Repeaters (I think that I must have done about 100 of these on each side)
The whole cardio routine lasts 20 min. There are no breaks from running in place to the High Jump. By the time you are done with the jumping rope sequence your calf muscles are on fire. This was taught by Joey (I'm pretty sure that was his name.) Good looking guy, the only problem was with the volume. Sometimes his voice faded out and you couldn't hear him. The drills reminded me of PlyoX, but without the breaks. My heart rate was high through the whole routine. I'm still planning on trying the weight routines in the next couple of weeks also. Edited to add: The cardio had no real warm up or cool down. They also don't have stretching. For me this isn't a big deal, because I can do that on my own.
Legs & Butts Weight Workout only. Warm-Up was lunges off the step. They had the step set at either 12 or 14", I don't remember. I set mine at 8 and was happy with that.
Frong Lunges Right & Left with weight
Reverse lunges with back foot on step no weight
Straddle step and do squats with weights
Straddle step and do plie squats with weights
Kneel on step (with pad-these could also be done on the floor). You do these exercises first on the right and then the left.
Donkey Kicks
Side Leg Raises
Side Leg Kicks
Then you go into power squats. You go from a squat position with feet shoulder length apart, and then move to feet together in squat. Then jumping jacks. Repeat the squat/jumping jacks. Then you do some stretches. By the end of the workout my legs where fried, and was thinking of not doing the treadmill. But I got on that thing and had a great time with the TM workout.

To clarify: the total DVD length is 90 minutes, but most people wouldn't do all three segments (weight work, treadmill cardio, non-treadmill cardio), so they are all about 30 minutes weight work, 20 minutes plyometric cardio.

Sorry, I just realized I should have posted my previous response to luvmylabs.
Here is the description from the treadmill cardio of Legs & Butts. Total time on the treadmill is 30 min.
You start out with a warm up, then run for 7 min. increasing your speed .5 every 90 seconds. Then you rested and put your incline up to 15%, mine only goes up to 12%. You go down to about 2.5 and then run sideways for 90 seconds on each side. This really works your calf muscles and takes a little while to get used to. After that you ran for another 7 min again increasing your speed by .5 every 60 seconds. Then you brought it down again and went into sprints. 30 seconds at the fastest seed you can go. Which for me was 8.0 and then 30 second walking pace. We did this 2 times and then the last sprint was for 50 seconds. If I remember correctly. The only thing that bothered me was there was no stretch.

Wed: Cathe B&G
Thurs: BB Back & Shoulders w/nontreadmill aerobics

WOW! all these rotations sound great. i like kathryn's. i do cardio first because doing weights makes me drink alot of water which of'course is'nt good for plyo. depending on how intense the upper body is, i will do on the 4th and 8th week a rest week from p90x. or do coresynergistics instead of yoga.
thanks a bunch!
