Do you do these on consecutive days or put a day in between?

Hi,
Based on how Cathe puts them in the rotations she devises for us, either way works. Personally, if I have the time, I like to do the whole series in three consecutive days (Tues-Thurs, for example), then finish off the week with one total body workout, perhaps with an endurance focus (eg., Muscle Endurance on Saturday).
If you do one workout, do a second one the following day ONLY IF you are not feeling too sore from the the first one. If you are really sore, take a day between. Many of the moves incorporate muscles from the other body parts, so sometimes a day between would be warranted.
They are a great series. Enjoy!

Hi Dawn, I do these in between days. Usally I do chest and back on Monday, Shoulders and legs on Wednesday but a different type of legs like L&G and then on Friday is bi and tri. I don't know if you should do this in a row or not I know I couldn't just because it takes so much concertrating and engery that the next day I am sore and couldn't think about doing weights IMO. HTH

I usually try to turn it into a two day split by doing, for example, bis, tris, back and abs at home in the morning, and then doing chest & shoulders during lunch at the gym. Then I'll do a day of cardio. Then I'll do legs & shldrs at home and the other body parts at the gym. That leaves me time on the weekend to do a full body endurance workout (in addition to another couple of days of cardio).

I usually do a cardio day in between each of these.

I usually do a cardio in between these also. However, I have done them on consecutive days with no real problem. I was pretty sore though.

Hi:
I find I do the best with this series if I put a day of cardio in between each workout if I am doing the entire video. Or, just do one bodypart (1/2 of the workout) per day.
The only thing I would suggest is to try and separate the chest/back workout with at least 48 hours of rest from the shoulder workout. You use alot of the same upper body muscles and I think its better to have some recovery time in there for maximum gains and to avoid overuse injuries.
Take care, Lynn M.

Here's a link to Cathe's June 03 Rotation that emphasized Muscular Strength using S&H. You might want to try this rotation or perhaps create your own based on this. This may at least be something you can start with. Hope this helps.
