Cheri - Thank you! I totally understand what you are saying. I always find I'm in my heartrate zone while doing SS. I think the workouts are great.
Rhonda - I usually do a SS video one day and then run 8 miles the next. Then I pick another SS video the next day and then run the next. I keep doing this. Sometimes I combine two SS videos (because I'm pregnant I can't do the floor work from Firm It Up so I added the standing portion of Mix It Up on the same day as well). Sometimes I add in some of the interval workouts from CLX as well. They are very endurance based and come in handy when I have to cut too much floor work out of my Slim Series workout (like Shape It Up). I always like to work out for a little over an hour. I find doing it this way allows my muscles to recover, and I really look forward to each workout. When I was doing SS everyday I would cringe at the thought of doing the next workout the next day. Likewise when I was running I was dreading the thought of a run. Now I love having something totally different to look forward to. Shani- Usually I only do 3 or 4 SS workouts per week (3 days of running, 3 days of SS, one day rest), and I am getting great results. Some days I do combine two SS workouts because I have to cut most of the floorwork out because I'm 7.5 months pregnant. I think you can definitely get great results this way. I wish I could upload my pictures to show you the difference between my results from CLX and SS and running. It says that my photo files are too large - what can I do to make them smaller? |

I don't mind the music in SS either but I usually don't notice music much in any workout. It would have to be really, really horrible to bother me.

I don't mind the Slim Series/Slim in 6 music either. I don't know why it works well for me. I just know that it does.

I'm doing TLT every other day with a rather random selection of my dvds the other days. So, one day per week I do a different SS. I can see how they can be effective, which is the only reason why I'm doing them, but ugh, I have major dread factor because they are so boring. I'm also doing them because I can handle them while I recover from my knee injury. I don't do the squats, lunges, or plies. Instead, I'm doing leg lifts in all directions.
