rotations

Post here what you do have, what your goals are, and how much time you have to workout each day/week, and someone will put something together for you. Also, state whether you like to do any other exercise, such as running, spinning, swimming, etc.

Cheers,
Sandra

forgot to mention..my goal is to lose 30 lbs and i have all day to workout so gimme what cha got!
 
It is not easy. I think you need a endurance weight workout as ME and a strenght workout as PUB. You have weight exercises in SJP and C & W but it is not enough. My suggestion is :

- all step and the weight exercises of SJP.
- IMAX 2
- Basic step (35 minutes of step)
- C & W weight exercises and first premix of IMAX 2
- Second cardio premix of IMAX 2.
- Winsor pilates
- Rest.

Hope this helps.

stayfit..if i did the weight sections more than once a day would that work? isn't the main difference with ME just longer sessions?

I think it is not great you do weight training two times in the day. I usually do a upper body weight training one day ( when I do an endurance workout as ME with lot of reps and little rest or ) and take to days of cardio to recovery the muscles of the weight training. In a strenght training (heavy weight and long rest between reps,there is one in the november rotation ) you can work two muscles one day ( for ejample chest and triceps) two the next ( back and biceps ) and shoulders in the third and do cardio in the other days with allways a rest day in the week . In your situation I would buy ME or PH for endurance and the Pyramids dvd for strenght. You have lot of cardio workout but if you really want to change your body the weight training is very important.

Hey Stayfit

I've posted something very similar and never received a response. Would you please help me out with a rotation as well. Listed below is what I have and soon to receive SJP/SB:

Boot Camp/Muscle Endurance
High Step Circuit
HSTA
Kickbox
KPC/Leg & Glutes
Power Hour
Slow & Heavy Series
Supersets
Terminator

I await your response.

BTW, I am looking to lose body fat, I weigh 152lbs. want drop 8-10lbs., I have a lot of muscles in my arms, traps and also the thighs, but there is still some fat surrounding the muscles in the arms & thighs. I usually workout in the early a.m. from 5-6:45 a.m.

Hi Haydee my suggestion is :

S & H triceps and chest / abs of ME


S & H back and biceps plus the kickbox

S & H triceps plus / L & Glutes

KPC

Terminator dvd : IMAX extreme.


If you want a strenght rotation you can use this.If you want a endurance rotation this is my suggestion:


Muscle endurance upper body split and abs
Kickbox
IMAX extreme
Power Hour
Bootcamp
KPC
Rest



Hope this helps.

In the first rotation I wrote S & H triceps and I wanted to say S & H shoulders. I add a workout for the saturday in the first rotation kickbox and stretch.

Jes, here's another suggestion:

Mon IMAX2
Tues Cardio & Weights
Weds Step Blast
Thurs All Step and SJP weight work
Fri Pilates
Sat Step, Jump & Pump
Sun REST

I like what Mariángeles came up with; maybe you could put these together into a 2 week rotation, or something like that. I also agree with Mariángeles that your weight loss efforts would benefit from more muscle training; Muscle Endurance is terrific, and would complement your current collection very well. And if you get the dvd, you get BootCamp as well, which is awesome, and will whip you into shape right quick!

All the best,
Sandra
 
thank you very much! i wanted to ask, would it be too much to add 30 min of walking 3 days/week? also, there is weight stuff on body fusion, can i use that? i may have forgotten to mention that i have that one....

jes
 
stayfit...thanks for the suggestion. i didn't mean do weights twice in one day. i meant since i don't have any weights-only workouts, would it be ok to use the weight sections on the videos i have and repeat the sections twice for more reps(like rewind and do it again)....sorry i wasn't clear!!

jes
 
I think 30 minutes of walking 3 days/week will be OK. The weight stuff on body fusion is done for beginner. Anyway you can use heavy dumbbells to do it but if you want a true weight training I agree with Sandra ME is an awesome endurance workout.In this dvd you will have bootcamp one of my favorites. In the dvd with the PUB you will find a great strenght weight training for the upper body and abs.In PLB ( in the same dvd )there are fantastic exercises in the stability ball for the glutes and hamstrings. I have the BS/BF dvd but I did not do the weigth exercises. Tomorrow I will see it and I will post my opinion.

Hi Jes,

Sure, you can incorporate walking, if you like! The rotation I suggested was premised on a simple framework of getting 30-60 minutes of cardio, 5-6 days a week, and weight training the entire body 3 times a week. With that in mind, you can do very many different combinations, using the workouts you own:

Mon/Wed - Challenging cardio, 60mins. Add core work if desired.

Tues/Thurs/Sat - A lighter cardio/weight circuit workout (Body Fusion; Cardio & Weights; Step, Jump & Pump);

OR:

Light cardio, 30 mins (this could be walking, Basic Step, Body Fusion cardio only, segments of Step Blast and/or Step, Jump & Pump)

followed by strength training (the CW weight premixes; SJP weight premixes; Body Fusion weight premixes. Doesn't the BS/BF dvd have additional weight training sessions on it? If so, they would work perfectly here).

Fri - Pilates or yoga or rest; if you have the energy and don't feel like you would be overdoing it, you could put some fun cardio here, ranging from 30-60 mins.

Sun - rest

I also think that if you want to do double sets of the weight workouts you have, that would be fine, as long as you are not new to weight training. What might be better is to combine workouts that focus on the same muscle group, but just a bit differently (eg., CW weights and the BS/BF weight add ons). Always listen to your body and don't try to do too much, too soon.

Enjoy your workouts!
Sandra
 
stayfit and fiddlefit: thank you very much! these are great rotations and i am going to try them. you are both very kind to take the time to come up with these for me!

muchas gracias!

Hi Jes, today I have seen the BS/BF dvd as I promised. It is great for a beginner.You work all your upper body (back, shoulders, biceps ,triceps and chest) . Cathe uses light weight (you can increase it and use a tubing that I don't have ) but it has few repetitions for me. It is a beginner workout and has a great safety counsels. Hope this helps.Have a great weekend.
