Drop 2 Sizes

I just started this rotation. Can someone tell me how this works. I don't have the book just the dvd's. Do you work out every other day and switch between
the weights and cardio workouts. I'm not sure I understand this right.

The details are somewhere on the dvd packaging, I found my old post from when these first came out, hope this helps:

"How to use these dvds:
On each of the 6 dvds, you'll find both a foam-roller routine and a workout routine. You should do these routines before every workout.

The 12 week program is divided into three 4-week phases. Do the phases in order, starting with Phase 1. For each phase, there are two types of workouts: Strength and Metabolic. Alternate between the Strength workouts - Strength 1 and Strength 2 - in each phase three days a week, resting a day between each session.

So in your first week, you might do Strength 1 on Monday and Friday and Strength 2 on Wednesday. In the second week you would do Strength 2 on Monday and Friday and Strength 1 on Wednesday. Alternate between the Metabolic workouts each week, doing one the day after you last Strength Workout. So in week 1, you'd do the Timed Metabolic Workout on Saturday, and in week 2, you'd do the Countdown Metabolic Workout. "

Hi Janine.
I just started last week and thank-you for this thread. I am really enjoying it so far. I sure hope Rachel comes out with another series soon!

Colleen and Janine, are you both still doing D2S? I just started with the DVDs earlier this month; this is my last week of Phase 1, so I'm very excited to be moving on to Phase 2 next week! I NEVER do programs/rotations--this is a big change for me. I've been trying to check in on the D2S Facebook group, but I think that VFers tend to be much more supportive!

Jez, it's a standard 6x36 foam roller, although you could probably get away with a smaller one if that's all you have. The foam roller is used for massage only as a warm-up the workouts.
