I have changed my rotation. I am not familiar with proper rotation protocol, but this is what I am doing. It seems to be working for me. This is what 8 days looks like. I know we have 7 days in a week, but this is what it looks like for me. Then I rotate back through it again. I go as heavy as I can with all of the weights.
DAY 1: #10 SD Xtreme Upper Body + Short Cardio DAY 2: Long Cardio DAY 3: Cardio w/weights (like Bob Harper's UCB, Mitch Gaylord's Melt It Off, Life Force) Do not add cardio because these are longer workouts DAY 4: Long Cardio DAY 5: #10 SD Xtreme Total Body + Short Cardio DAY 6: Long Cardio DAY 7: Cardio w/weights (like Bob Harper's UCB, Mitch Gaylord's Melt It off, Life Force) Do not add cardio because these are longer workouts DAY 8: Long Cardio

Inchworm, I just saw your question tonight. What worked for me for floorwork and pilates was any of Margaret Richard's floorwork (it's very tough). A couple of the 10 Minute Solutions workouts (10 MS Pilates and 10 MS Pilates Perfect Body) have pretty good pilates lower body routines. Tracey Mallett's Pilates Super Sculpt is also a really good lower body workout. Mari Winsor does have some good pilates lower body routines, but I've never really clicked with her, so I keep buying, trading in, reacquiring her dvds, etc... I may buy a couple of her dvds and just keep them. She does some clam exercises that I really like. My overall routine that worked was one day a week of cardio with some squats and lunges (such as Tracey Mallett's Total Body Blasts on her blue Quick Blast dvd), two-three days a week of weights (which was usually Margaret Richard), two days of low impact cardio, such as a Leslie workout, and two-three Tracey Mallett core workouts. I plan on getting back to that routine very soon, because I really was happy with the results. However, I'll probably still take a Body Pump class once a week, because I really do like Body Pump.

If you don't mind dated-looking workouts, would any of you consider Karen Voight's Great Weighted Workout? You use very light weights (2 or 3 lbs) but it is highly effective at achieving definition. There are some squats but no lunges and there's a long floorwork section that's very effective. (Karen adds ankle weights but you don't have to.)
It's a long workout (85m) but is chaptered so that it can be divided into two (or more workouts). Matter of fact I'm going to drag my copy out too! http://www.totalfitnessdvds.com/Kare...-DVD-p/964.htm

Blueskies, I have the best results when I do light cardio, like Leslie or rebounding, and then something for toning. I usually do some type of cardio daily. For seven months I did daily Leslie, and it was awesome for my legs! Now that I have my new rebounder I am adding in that, although Leslie is also very doable on it!
As for what workouts specifically I did, I have the best results when I rotate through and spend lots of time on floor work/Pilates/barre. Here are some I have used with success: TA Meta Hip Ballet Beautiful Supermodel Butt and Thighs Tracey Mallett's Pilates Super Sculpt Miranda's Legs and Butt Piloxing Express Toning I just received the three Pop Physiques and am going to be doing those for a while, alternating with Ballet Beautiful, which has superb floor work. As for being "cut," I feel *my* legs did look cut this winter with lots of cardio and floor work. I could clearly see the muscle striations, something I had never been able to do before. However, my legs were thin, which I prefer, rather than muscular. Think Ana Brett-like legs; long and thin but shapely. I took a detour away from this rotation, stupidly, and now need to get my gains back, so to speak. HTH! |

Deana, it sounds like you got some good results from that rotation! I don't have any Leslie workouts, but may give them a try. |
