The Spirit of Drop Two Sizes
I borrowed Rachel Cosgrove's Drop Two Sizes book from the library, and I really like the look of this program. The layout is very motivating and easy to follow, the menu plan looks very sane and do-able, and the workouts seem to cover all the bases (strength, cardio, recovery.)
However, I don't really like some of the exercises. I'm not really keen on heavy lifting, I don't like to follow book workouts and I don't want to buy a new set of DVDs. And, I can't live without Physique 57 in my rotation. I've learned this about myself. I'm an addict.
So, I was thinking I might follow D2S, but plug in my own workouts. I could do barre for the strength segments, and high intensity cardio stuff for the metabolic workouts (this morning I did an express premix from Cathe's Afterburn and that seems like a good substitute. I'm still not exactly clear on what makes a cardio workout 'metabolic,' though.)
What other workouts would make good substitutions? I have lots of older Cathe, lots of barre, Leslie and the like for active recovery days... I'm not sure what to input for the RAMP workouts, but I do have a foam roller at home and could do that on my own.
Any suggestions??
