Thanks katmom! I'm getting the DVDs in a trade, so I should be starting in a few weeks.

So you say that the last two submenus come up when you select "Strength Workout 1." Are there similar submenus for selecting "Strength Workout 2"? Also, are the two Strength workouts supposed to be used alternately during the first phase of the program? Thanks!

Other than that, is it okay to do the Metabolic earlier in the week?

In Female Body Breakthrough, she even leaves out the metabolic/cardio for the first phase (probably knowing most readers will do it anyway ).

Thanks Sue! I'm impressed that you had such great results doing your own cardio. Did you do other stuff on the off days as well? And I don't remember from the other threads--did you say that you did or didn't do the RAMPs and foam rolling? If yes, did you do them as programmed BEFORE the workouts or in a different order?

I often didn't do the metabolic workouts because I just didn't have the energy. If I went all out on strength including the metabolic move at the end of each strength workout, I was spent the next day. All I could do was an easy going walk. I really needed the recovery time.

Jane, did you get results doing the plan your way?
I jut got my DVDs today. I don't have the book, but I am interested in in Rachel's diet recommendations and would like to at least incorporate some of them (although I don't expect to fully follow the diet). Does she describe the diet plan anywhere online? PS--My library system doesn't have the book, but they do have Feminine Body Breakthrough; is the diet in the book similar?

I did the RAMPs as a warmup but did very little foam rolling. If I do too much, it bothers my knee, plus it made the workouts take too long. You can do RAMP on your own (write them down, or memorize them) instead of following the DVD each time since she spends a lot of time instructing.

Sue, thanks for the additional tips! I will try to do the foam rolling but may skip it some day due to time constraints as well; I'm glad to hear that didn't impact your results. I might add in 1 day yoga, a day barre, and 1 day CS (I'm used to exercising daily!), which I think would compliment the rotation nicely.
