I don't think a few weeks is enough for changes. I think most people are going to be confined to what is possible for their body type and body fat levels are one of the biggest factors in how one looks. Of course the appearance of the arms would change if someone went from not working the arms much to consistently working them in a particular way. Or from doing just endurance to heavy lifting consistently over time. It likely takes more than a few weeks though. I have seen differences when I did rotations that were at least 3 months long--but even then it is a subtle difference.

I agree! My physique and shape do not change that much, depending on the workout that I'm doing.
I did Cathe for about 2-3 years, then moved to barre and did Ballet Body for 1.5 years, and have now been doing Tonique for about 1.5 years. My body, which is very lean and toned (but not "ripped"), has not changed all that much across these different methods. I have stayed lean and toned with ample muscle definition everywhere using all three of these methods, despite how different these methods are. My biceps might have been SLIGHTLY more defined when I was doing Cathe, but noticeable to no one but me. My butt is maybe slightly more rounded since doing Tonique, but, again, noticeable to no one but me. My legs and arms are toned to the same degree for my genetics/body type/etc., regardless of whether I am doing heavy weights, barre, or endurance-type workouts. I will note, though, that my body and mind much prefer barre and Tonique to heavy weights. I'm much more flexible and less sore now that I don't do Cathe/heavy weights. Oh, I also wanted to add that if you are already lean, athletic, and trim that "results" are not going to be as prominent as for someone who has weight to lose and/or is not athletic at all. I used to dance as a child/teenager, so even when I started working out, I was starting from a baseline of muscle/athleticism. Maybe it's the same for you. |

Just to clarify.... I do whole rotations. I did the whole 60 day insanity rotation. A whole p90x rotation TWICE. A while cathe sts rotation. All of ta meta omni... through level 9. A whole slim series rotation more times than I can count. Body beast all 90 days. Plus many more.
As far as what I mean... I look the same. Short muscular. Not much leaner or longer or toned regardless of what rotation I dom |

I've been working out with videos for decades. I've only been doing rotations for about three years. I didn't notice any aesthetic changes in my body with any of the rotations (Deltafit, D2S, STS, RKS). The only rotation that ever got comments on my 'looks' was 7 Day Lean. Three people at work told me I looked 'slimmer'. And no one had ever commented before. I'm just sad that I can't motivate myself to do the rotation again.
