Workout recommendations

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Sep-22-02 AT 01:44PM (Est)[/font][p]Looks like it's been about 6 weeks since I started doing the Pure Strength series 1-2 times per week. I do cardio about twice a week, although I know I should do more. I'm not really interested in weight reduction. I'm interested in toning, shaping, strength, endurance and flexibility (everything except weight loss?). I don't think I've reached a "plateau" yet with PS. I LOVE PS.

Educated crowd: where should I go from here? Should I start adding some other Cathe workouts now, or in a few weeks? Which ones? I'm thinking mostly about Power Hour, S&H, MIS or CTX upper body split to keep things interesting. Any thoughts you may have are helpful. Thanks so much!!

(This is important to me so I may post it in the Video forum as well.)

I'm with you- I only do cardio 2-4x's a week- usually 3.
Do you do any yoga/stretching/pilates for flexibility and toning? There are so many videos out there, that you could add one to your rotation. You, obviously, won't be using heavy weights doing these, but some, like YogaScupt and YogaFusion have effective toning moves.

Hi Nancy!!

If you like PS, you will definitely like Power Hour and the others. All 4 of them are great. I have the CTX 6 tape package and also the DVD. Each of them is about 30 min. cardio and a body part. CTX Leaner Legs is a killer leg workout. I usually do Leaner Legs then do the floor section of PS right after. MIS and Power Hour use a lot of barbell-which I know you have now... and S&H uses a lot of db's but is a great muscle builder. If I were you, I would get all 4 of those.LOL!!

Whichever you choose, you will love it!!

Donna-
I saw on another post how many workouts you buy. You must be SUPER FIT! Based upon your comments, (you know how much I love my barbell!), and looking at how the DVD workouts are grouped, I realize it probably makes sense for me to get the PH DVD because it has MIS on it as well!
What do you think would be the best way of working PH into my PS routine? For example, this week has not been typical because I have been sick with a cold or something, but just as an example it looked like this:

Sunday- PS SLA
Monday- (sick)
Tuesday- PS CST
Wednesday- PS BBA
Thursday- (relapse)
Friday- PS SLA
Saturday - treadmill
Sunday- treadmill, CST and pilates

I'm adding pilates for flexibility. Where would PH fit into such a "rotation"? Would I do PS less to fit in PH? Thanks for your opinions!
