Ripped with Hiit or X-Train

[lily64]

I'm 51 & XTrain is my favorite Cathe series. I did the 90 day rotation when it first came out & return to the individual workouts frequently. It includes my two favorites - Cardio Leg Blast & All-Out Low Impact HIIT & the music (IMO) is better than any other recent series. I also experienced some low back issues doing the RWH rotation, but it's a good series & I use it on occasion, particularly the upper & lower circuit workouts.

I went back to my Xtrain box and have to say that I forgot what a comprehensive amazing series this is!
The versatility is mind blowing! I did several rotations with this series and increased my strength and endurance dramatically. I would have to say that this series has it all for you @Ivy! Once you develop the amazing foundation that Xtrain builds, you can branch out and discover some of the other Cathe series/workouts that will fine tune your Xtrained body! I'll be revisiting Xtrain when I finish up with my current ICE rotation at the end of this month. Thanks for the reminder of all the options I have!

Happy to remind you

I like both, but I definitely like the weight work better in RWH and there are alot of the XTrain dvds that I never reach for due to the high impact. If you aren't set on geting a "series" I say take a poll of favorites from both series and put together your own "series" taking the best from both.

My most used from XTrain: Supercuts, Cardio Leg Blast, Low Impact HiiT, Burn Sets

My most used from RWH: the 2 upper body workouts (love these), the Leg workout and the upper body circuit workout. I use the Low Impact HiiT but actually since I got ICE I used the lower impact from that set more often now.

From Xtrain I don't care for Hard Strikes, the two upper body workouts to me aren't as good as those in RWH, Tabatacise is so hard for me I rarely do it and the Leg workout is too long. I sometimes will do the premixes on the Leg dvd but for some reason it's just not one I reach for even though I thought I would.

My RWH/XTrain "fusion" series would be...

RWH Ch/Sh/Tri's
RWH Ba/Bi/Sh
XTrain Cardio Leg Blast
RWH Legs
Xtrain Supercuts or RWH Upper Body Circuit
ICE Rock 'em Sock 'em Kickbox (I know it's ICE but it's my new fav kickbox workout!)
XTrain Low Impact HiiT
