As in every month for the past five years, I'm doing Tonda's (MoFirmer on this board) monthly rotation. 6 days a week, FIRM and BeMax workouts. I finally realized back in December 2006 that I am only consistent if I follow a rotation created by someone else. So back then it was the rotations on the FIRM Club website and then when Gaiam began shutting it down in 2015, Tonda took over the rotations and saved me from the couch.

I just started Jessica's Summer of Strength. It works with my schedule b/c right now, my yoga teacher is livestreaming classes on Tues/Thurs morning, and those are stretch days on the rotation. So I'll do the classes instead of Jessica's stretches.

I spent about 3-4 months doing Stephanie Huckabee workouts. Now I’m doing Suzanne Bowen workouts for a change and loving them. I keep seeing ads for Xtend Barre streaming on Facebook and I’m intrigued. Decisions! Part of my hesitation is I really want to “own” the workouts, rather than stream them.

Jane P - glad to see you posting - and working out again.
I'm still mainly following a template that includes 3 or so cardio workouts a week, a lower body day, an upper body, and some fusion. I'm mainly using Jenny Ford for step cardio and for floor cardio Jessica or Jenny or Leslie. For my strength workouts I'm mainly doing Jessica Valent Pilates or Trifecta Pilates. I'm mixing in some Ellen Barrett, too, and this month some Classical Stretch. I like the concept of Jessica's Summer of Strength, but I would like to add more cardio in - b/c now that it is getting hotter and more humid outside my dog walks are being shortened. I suppose I could add cardio in on the 2 days off of Jessica's rotation and also add on to the stretch days..... Donna |

I do a loose rotation every two weeks. This time it's Jari or Traci for strength, Cathe cardio and generous use of foam rolling and mobility exercise days. I am listening to my mind/ body and have alternate workouts like CS or yoga when it says "not today!" to my rotation. I do have to choose a current pile or I will flounder. It's interesting lately that my body may not be injured or sore but my mind needs my exercise to soothe.

Hmm...I went back to Jessica's site and re-reviewed Summer of Strength and Calm & Strong. Both look good to me....so, if I decide I need more focus than what I have been doing - I may do one of those rotations. I may use the DVD option for Round 1 and then do the You Tube Version in Round 2.
decisions, decisions.... Donna |
