Hi everyone.
I have been doing longer weight sessions, and only working each body part once per week. (these have usually been PS and Bodymax combined, or PS and CTX combined.)
For cardio I have been doing a variety of mostly Cathe's stuff, trying to include 2 long intense, 2 medium to long moderate intensity, and 2 short easy to moderate intensity..
For this new rotation I have to baby my left knee. I am planning to up the number of times I work each body part, and shorten the duration of each session. For leg work, I will only do floor work, or standing work that does not require me to bend my knees beyond, at most, a semi-squat. Since I'm not doing heavy work, I want to do legs three times per week.
My biggest concern is cardio. I still want to maintain at least 3, and at most 4, cardio sessions per week. None of these will be intense, and all of them will be modified to low impact. My plan is to do one or two step workouts WITHOUT THE STEP, one or two kickbox workouts MODIFIED TO LOW IMPACT, and/or one or two flat- surface walks.
Here's what I came up with:
MONDAY: Back, biceps, and legs, and 40 minutes cardio
TUESDAY: Chest, shoulders, and triceps
WEDNESDAY: Legs and abs
THURSDAY: 40 minutes cardio
FRIDAY: 40 minutes cardio
SATURDAY: CTX upper body split and legs
SUNDAY: rest or walk, and abs
all body part work will be CTX. Leg work will be from the following:
Kathy Smith Secrets to a Great Lower Body
PS SLA
TWV floorwork
Original Buns of Steel (when it arrives
)
Spri tubing (after I order some!)
So, what do you think? Too much, too little, any suggestions on good leg floorwork videos, or good low-impact cardio tapes?
Thanks in advance for any and all input.
