MIS

[Chrissy]

I am using MIS for my strength training workouts, but have been splitting it up. I do legs 2 days then I do upper body 2 days. (Mon/thurs = legs and tues/fri = upperbody) Is this OK, or is MIS meant to be used 2 days doing an all over body workout? I like to do cardio everyday but if I do MIS 2 days I am too tired to get that cardio in.

Does anybody else do this and if so do you get good results?

Chrissy, I do the same

Whenever I do all of MIS in one workout, I sleep for two hours afterwards! It just whips me!

I'm trying out a "Focus on Strength" routine for the summer so I do 4 strenghts a week - each body part gets two workouts a week. In just 3 weeks I've seen a remarkable increase in my strength! Very inspiring for this cardio girl!

You keep up the routine you posted & I'm certain you'll see great results! Let me know!

Hi Chrissy! I alternate between doing MIS and Cathe's Power Strength Series. I'll stick to Power Strength for 3 weeks and then so as not to reach a plateau, I switch to MIS because if you view Power Strength especially shoulders section it only uses dumbells where in MIS shoulders Cathe uses only barbell. I've gotten great results from doing it this way. But I only work one major body part a week. that's all I need because of the heavy weights that I use. Hope this helps. Take care, Kathy

Sounds interesting!

How are you using Cathe's tapes for this? Sounds like something I might like to try! Please share!

Hi Jul . . .

Well, I mostly do MIS, but I do modify a bit. I really like the MIS music for lifting & I find Cathe's comments inspiring, so even when I modify my workout I have it on in the background. I usually go slower & concentrate on form. Here's a typical week for me:

Mon -- legs on the Rockit, chest, back
Tues -- upper body & aerobics
Wed -- aerobics
Thurs -- legs w/MIS, chest, back
Fri -- upper body & aerobics
Sat -- aerobics
Sun -- day off

PS legs has gotten such rave reviews & testimonials I'm thinking about getting it for my Thurs workout. Also, sometimes I'll take Wed off if I'm feeling drained. That puts my aerobics at only 3 per week, but for summer my focus is strength.

The best thing for me is I've really been better at consistency with my strength with this routine. You just have to play around and find what works for you. Good luck with your experiment.

Thanks

Thank you Kathy and Lezly for your responses.

I'll let you know my results in about 6 weeks.
