You and I are following the same type of rotation!! I am throughly enjoying it, as I feel I can work in all my different types of workouts in. On the circuit day, I may do a true circuit, a kettlebell or Bodystrikes type workout. |

I buy some of them for the individual workouts... and do my own thing. I may follow a mini rotation for a while or create my own mixing in other workouts. It is called the ADD workout system.. or the i have an ocean of videos looking back at me and i have to do them all!

I also don't mind paper workouts/plans, and if anyone is interested and hasn't seen these before, Mbody has lots of free ones (KB's, and I think there might be some body weight ones): http://www.mbodystrength.com/trainin...-workout-plans
And here's a cool non-KB, bootcamp-y one that someone else posted a while back (I really want to try this): http://www.fitstudio.com/programs/bcx |

I follow "systems" all the time, but they're paper or book systems/programs, not video systems. I think the only video system I've ever completed was P90X.
Overall, I like having a plan. I give a lot (perhaps too much!) thought to what programs I want to follow, and how they will lay out, more or less, over the next several months and integrate with a racing (or whatever) prep schedule, which is a second plan, entirely! But once it's done I just slap a schedule on the fridge and go about my business. I like that SO much more than trying to organize a balanced training approach from a hodgepodge of mismatched workouts. Works for me!

It's really hard for me to spend more than $40 at a time on fitness DVDs. Systems don't entice me. The last time I spent a wad of money was when Cathe had the presale for Hardcore Series - and that really wasn't a system since there never was a rotation it was designed around. I ended up selling all but 3 out of the 11.
Most of the systems are sold by infomercials. Since there's limited TV that I watch, I never see the infomercial. Those infomercials always sound cheesy anyway, even though some are for quality products like P90X. If I did run across one, I'd switch the channel. It's saved me from dealing with companies like BeachBody, and that's a good thing too. I still have about 110 DVDs and I feel I have a good variety to work with. None of my DVDs are by instructors who bug me. They'll all get used, some more often than others. I usually have an idea of what I'll do for the next few days planned ahead. Right now, I'm being inspired by a rotation Kelly posted some time ago, integrating SS and TLC where I can. She came up with one using the new workouts, but I didn't care for it. (All cardio one week, all weights the next?)

I myself love rotations and follow them to a tee...i do change the days around sometimes or double up if I need a day off or do more BUT it keeps me accoutable and gives me I think a more rounded workout.
With my 250 or more workout collection I tend to flounder with indecesion. I just finished S90 loved it,am currently in a move and NOW can't decide what to start at the ened of the week. Insanity,Clx,Turbo Fire,P90x.Or rotatate through my wonderful dvds. My birthday is next week and I am hoping for RUSHFIT but the birthday fairy doesn't have a clue! |

All.the.time. Beachbody is a cruel temptress, lol.
Probably the best money I ever spent, fitness-wise, was on P90X. It showed me the value of a rotation. That and STS are the only systems I have. I don't county Four Day Split, Gym Styles or things like that as systems.

I'm another who likes structure, even formal rotations. I don't have too many video systems, however. And I will tweak things rather than follow them exactly, depending upon my needs, goals, abilities, etc.
