Hi Roselyn,
People have been posting like mad (including me!!
) about the new workouts. Try searching for those posts. There are also a bunch of threads about how people plan to use them until the november rotation comes out.

Starting next week I am going to use them something like this:
Day 1: HIS/chest and back
Day 2: LIS/shoulders, core and calves
Day 3: BC/biceps and triceps
Day 4: KB/legs and core
Day 5: Yoga
Day 6: Run
Day 7: Rest
This may not be the exact order I do them in but you get the idea. I also will be doing the weight work BEFORE the cardio. That's just my personal preference.
So far I've tried all of the work outs but the bi/tri and leg weight work. Great series!

I get mine Friday!!!!
I thought of trying it this way:
Mon - High Intensity Step/Chest & Back
Tue - Kickbox/Legs & Core
Wed -
Thu - Low Intensity Step/Shoulders & Core
Fri - Boot Camp/Bi's & Tri's
Sat -
On Wed. and Sat. I'll pick from Barre, Bosu, Gliding, Functional Fitness or Yoga workouts. Since these are hard to fit in during a jam packed week of cardio and weights and life. Now that this split has included everything I need for the week into 4 days. I'll have no excuse to fit the other things in. Sunday's is a REST DAY.
The joy of this rotation is the ability to finally be able to do those other types of workouts that we all have and can't find a place for in a regular rotation.

Here are two possible rotations (that work from larger to smaller muscle groups during the week, avoid using the same muscles on back-to-back day: as targeted muscles or assisting muscles, avoid step two days in a row or core two days in a row):
A 4-5 day workout rotation:
Day 1: HIS/Chest and back
Day 2: KB/Legs and core
Day 3: BC/Biceps and triceps
Day 4: other cardio
Day 5: LIS/shoulders,core and calves
Take 1-2 days off, then start over
(another option: do workouts in this order, with a day of rest or cardio in between)
Day 1: KB/Legs and core
Day 2: HIS/Chest and back
Day 3: off
Day 4: LIS/Shoulders/core and calves
Day 5: off
Day 6: BC/Biceps and triceps
Day 7: off
A 4-5 day workout rotation:
Day 1: HIS/Chest and back
Day 2: KB/Legs and core
Day 3: BC/Biceps and triceps
Day 4: other cardio
Day 5: LIS/shoulders,core and calves

I'm doing something like this:
Day 1: LIS/Shoulders & Core
Day 2: Pilates/Yoga
Day 3: BC/Biceps & Triceps
Day 4: Rest/Yoga
Day 5: KB/Legs & Core
Day 6: Pilates/Yoga
Day 7: HIS/Chest & Back
I'm putting the days in between the 4DS workouts simply because of my ankle injury. And actually, on Day 3 (which is today in fact) I will probably do the cardio from LIS instead of BC because of the same issue. BC looked like it would be pretty high impact. I'm going to go ahead and attempt KB & HIS with modifications, though.
