Strong stride how do you use it ?

[mchelle81]

I got this today put it in and have no clue what section to do or anything,do you just do whatever part you want ? How do you use it ?

I've only ever used it as an add-on (for those lower body segments) or stringing a couple together for a lower body focused day. I know some people do the entire Program 1 or 2 as a hour-long workout.

There doesn't seem to be any instructions on the DVD

Nope. That was one of my complaints when this was first released. There is so much content that it seems there should be a rotation included or a usage-recommendation...

ETA: I did a pretty detailed break-down of the content in the review section. Maybe it'll help you know how to approach it all...

Oh great thank you I'll take a look, I'm just getting into running so thought I would try this

I'll do segments from Program 1 or 2 after a run, and do the weighted work on other days to cross-train.

Here's what Lisa wrote to me when I asked her how to use them on FB.
Hey Laura!! Thanks for purchasing our DVDs! What I like most about the DVDs, especially they Pilates one, is that you can always change up your workout since there are so many different sections to chose from. Starting out I would recommend doing 1 day Pilates, 1 day cardio strength and 1 strength training. You can start with just a few muscle groups of the Pilates (2-3) and work up to all 6. With the strength training you can choice 1 of the 4 options and then each week keep alternating which one you do. For the cardio I would do 1 of the 3 and alternate each week.
Once you get used to this rotation you can add more to the 3 days or add a 4th day.

It is completely up to you but I think that is a good place to start!

Let me know if you have any more questions

I'm still confused so you don't pick program one or two,you just pick bits of exercises ?
