Is this going to do it? Please advise!

[August]

Hi,

I was hoping someone might take a look at my rotation and tell me if I should change something? It's the first time I'm mixing it up this much and I could really use some good advice.

My goal is to lose 5 pounds of fat. My guess is I'm a mesomorph, and I'm eating clean. I'm just finishing up 5 weeks of my first endurance rotation using step and hi-lo as cardio (approx 45-60 min 3-4 times a week), alternating with the 2 new Jari workouts (3 times a week)...and didn't get really any results (well, I do feel great, and I can feel a nice improvement in my endurance, but I'd also like to see some physical changes taking place, too).

Thanks for any tweaking and advice you might have to share!

WEEK 1/3

Monday Gin Miller’s Simply Step (step 63 min)
Tuesday Muscle Endurance 64 min
Wednesday Christi’s Cardio Collectibles (hi-lo & step 70 min)
Thursday Gin Miller’s Simply Endurance (step circuit 54 min)
Friday Low Max 69 min
Saturday FitPrime: Metaboost (circuit 55 min)
Sunday STRETCH

WEEK 2

Monday S&H chest + Dance 26 min/40 min = 66 min
Tuesday S&H tris + Step 23 min/35 min = 58 min
Wednesday S&H back + Kickmax 21 min/50 min = 61 min
Thursday S&H shoulders + LIS 30 min/40 min = 70 min
Friday S&H biceps + Hi-Lo 24 min/35 min = 59 min
Saturday S&H legs floor+ Thigh/bun Pilates 30 min/18 min = 48 min
Sunday STRETCH

WEEK 4 (same as week 2, but with Gym style series instead of S&H)

...any...anybody?

Does my homemade rotation suck that badly? :*

Should I be scared about challenging myself this way? Am I cruisin' for bruisin'?

I am not much of a rotation person myself. I, unfortunately, tend to attempt the rotations that are posted and my schedule ends up interfering so I try to follow the general rule that has been mentioned on this forum which is intense cardio at least twice (in my mix of cardio just about 6 days per week) and then weights where I hit at least every body part once per week. I think your rotation looks really good and might be something I will try because you get in the cardio and mix it up with the weight training quite nicely. However, I should qualify this once again by emphasizing what an amateur I am in this domain particularly because I am not a good follower of rotations, but I like what you have done so much so that I am going to try it

Thanks for your nice reply. You've given me some confidence that I'm not putting together a disaster.

I guess I'll just go for it and see how it goes for next month!

Thanks,
August

Do you have the time to do more cardio? I am also a mesomorph, and I would hate to tell you how much I weigh at 5'2" tall. The photo of me in my picturetrail holding the barbell was taken a few months ago.

Hiya,

You look really toned and awesome. With a hot, curvy figure to boot!

Wow, you think even more cardio would be good? You mean all around in general, or on weeks 2&4?
