I pretty much stuck with the suggested D2S schedule: 3 days of strength and 1 of cardio, though I usually tacked on the cardio to the last strength workout for the week. For two days per week, I would do yoga or some type of stretching/therapeutic workout. So the following would be my workout week:
Sunday - Strength 1/2 (depending on the week)
Monday - Yoga/Stretching
Tuesday - Strength 2/1
Wednesday - no workout
Thursday - Strength 1/2 + (usually) Cardio
Friday - Cardio (if not done on Thursday); Yoga/Stretching
Saturday - no workout
I'm actually on my last week. I can't believe I've stuck to the rotation! This is my first set, and, before I started, I was thinking I may condense the rotation, so I'm really surprised I've stuck it out and did them as suggested (well, except combining the cardio to my 3rd strength).
I have had times - mostly in Phase 2 - where it became kinda boring for me at times. (Based on people's comments, it seems people enjoy Phase 2 more than Phase 1, but I had the opposite reaction. I preferred Phase 1 and 3 over 2.)
I've had good results - feel stronger and more toned. However, I didn't watch my diet, so I could easily see how my results could've been even better. If you watch your diet, I think this could provide significant improvements.
