Today is the last day of the sale I was tempted to make another order but decided to leave it for some Black Friday fun. The used dvds were such a great buy that I have more than enough to keep me busy for several months. Though I did hear several dvds whispering to just run through them all this weekend Lol

Did my EBX2 Upper body work out today and thoroughly enjoyed it Looking forward to the complete rotation then some type of MMA/mobility/KB conglomeration. MB Rushfit/UFC followed by a Dasha rotation (courtesy of Stephanie's suggestion ). Dasha has some nice mobility work in her programs.

I keep telling myself that I need more yoga in my life. I have some great programs waiting but haven't been able to talk myself into anything but the occasional Yin yoga. I bought the Annie Carpenter program a year or so back but so far I just did not click with it. Surprisingly, I also found some really nice yoga sets at the thrift (the chance to try some expensive sets for almost nothing!) and they sit untouched. Oh well, maybe they will have their season. Right now, I feel grateful to be excited about my current rotation.

Has anybody else started something new? Any newly discovered gems from the sale?

Sugar--Greg Smithey is a beast! His moves are brutal in a sneaky way. That progam never fails to set my backside on fire. I swear it is one of the few programs that never became easier over time. Your DD shows good taste in being appalled with the attire

They also have their own site and streaming service as well I think. They are a lot of fun!!
Thanks for posting this. I just checked out their channel and they have one for Thriller!! Call me psyched!

I have a question for EBX2 veterans, what rotation did you do? Love to know especially if you did a hybrid.

Vantreesta I'll raise my hand! All that talk of VHS lists....You seriously had me convinced you had iron strength resistance!

The EBX2 rotation as written is fairly simple and does call for you to add cardio (5 days per week) on your own. The first 3 weeks you do the first 3 workouts (Weighted Legs, Weighted Upper Body and Weighted Glutes) and 5 days of cardio. The 2nd 3 weeks you do the next 3 workouts (Weights & Plyo Legs, Weights & Plyo Upper Body, Weights & Plyo Glutes) and 5 days of cardio. The last week is Peak Cardio (plyo HIIT workout) daily.

I think she does describe the type of cardio she wants you to do (as in circuits or intervals) but I ignore that and plug in whatever I like (kickboxing, mobility work etc). The workouts do not have cool down/stretch. I don't care about that because I'm always more thorough on my own and typically add a mobility or full stretch video. I prefer to do that tacked on right after the workout when I'm really warm. I find that I make a lot more progress in my flexibility that way. If I'm pressed for time, I'll only work on those 3 days and take the rest of the week off. The full recovery between the splits really lets me go heavy on work days and I actually get better results if I don't add more scheduled work during the week. That can be hard on a vidiot so off days can also be used for yin yoga, walking workouts etc. I think a lot may depend on how heavy you lift. If you aren't pushing yourself to the limit during the splits, you have a lot of room to make your own hybrid rotation. You could weave in a KB session, kickboxing/MMA, mobility, CS, pilates etc.

FOLV, Awesome, I will check your review thread, thanks for the heads up!

I just checked my EBE2 rotation, I did Legs on Monday, Upper next day, Glutes on Wednesday, then Upper next day and Legs Friday or Saturday, I did add a rest day here and there depending on soreness, but I tried to get the 5 workouts done within the week, for cardio I sometimes did a Leslie walk, Country Heat, Zumba, a short step workout or KCM Boxing cardio, my cardio was anything between 10-30 minutes depending on energy levels, I skipped the cardio completely a couple of times, but I always added a long stretch after, I usually do 10-25 stretch after my workouts. I then took an active recovery week (week 4 ), where I did easier Pilates, Stretch and Joint Mobility Therapy, Cool it Off, I did something relaxing 6 days and took Sunday off. I then continued with the EBE2 rotation this time with the plyo workouts for the next three weeks. Last week was the peak cardio. My last week got messed up since we had a funeral in the family, so I took some days off, I also found peak cardio very challenging, so it was a bit dreadfull to do it everyday for seven days, I probably only did 3 or 4 times and not in a row, I sometimes did something else or nothing at all. HTH

Taiga, do you only do EBE2 weight workout three times a week?
