suggestions for a husband rotation?

[bfit]

I just realized how odd that title looks, but I think I'll just leave it because it's sure to get some "hits" that way! My husband is interested in getting in better shape and is more often now (about 3x a week) asking me for suggestions for a video workout he can do. Usually, I just pull something I think he'll like off the shelf, but there's really no logic to it. I do try to include a variety of things, but there's no real rotation. If he uses videos 3x a week and also runs/walks outside (and rides the stationary bike a little bit) what sort of rotation would be best? His main goal is to lose about 10 pounds, but obviously he's interested in strength and flexibility too. He can't do real intense upper body work right now because he's getting physical therapy for a rotator cuff problem. I would say his fitness level is intermediate. He's pretty flexible about the videos he will do (he'll do Denise Austin Boot Camp), but I think yoga, Pilates, barre work, and Leslie Sansone are definitely out.

i did laugh at your title!

P90, P90M come to mind. he can continue the walking and bike for steady state cardio.

Oh! You mean workouts

I'm thinking he might like that Paul Katami Hollywood Bootcamp DVD that's so exalted on VF these days...

My husband loves P90X. I can't get him to rotate off of it.

I agree with Paul Katami or how about Gilad?

My DH did 30-Day Shred one day per week throughout 2010. He rode his Schwinn AirDyne bike 4 days per week, and progressed through Levels 1, 2, and 3 of 30DS. He's graduating to Insanity for 2011. He did the Insanity Fit Test Jan. 2, and will start incorporating one Insanity per week to his schedule this week. He really, really enjoyed Shred. He modified some moves (could never quite get the form down for some of the lunges), but he is really excited about the changes in his upper body and abs that these workouts brought him. So maybe 30-Day Shred?

My hubby & I do all of our rotations together. We started with P90x. Then did Insanity, Chalean Extreme (which he actually liked more than me!), P90x+, and now we're doing STS. We will be doing the Rushfit after STS. He is currently using running (marathon training) for his cardio, but follows the STS rotation for strength training. We are also currently using Ab Lab.

I have made up my rotations as well using various dvds. We did a Bob Harper IOM rotation that also used KCM Circuit Burn....& darn I can't think of which others. But we have used all of the following: The 2 Peak 10 workouts, Atletica, Cathe MMA Boxing, Cathe Muscle Max, Jillian's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, Cathe Cardio COre Circuit, Cathe HIIT.

We pretty much have lately done our rotation 1 of 2 ways:
1: Splits with upper body work on mon/wed & legs on fri. HIIT workouts on mon/wed, longer cardio on tues/sat.
2: 1 full body strength workout on mon, circuit style work 2 other days, longer cardio 2 of the other days.

Pardon me while my mind boggles. I've been trying to get Hubby to workout to DVD's for years with no luck. Good for your Hubby wanting to get in better shape. I like your title.

Not a video, but my brother like Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training. Currently, he is doing a paper program by a guy promoted by Ballantyne - Vince Del Monte, to get ready for his wedding. (Guys are such a girls .)
