Do you complete whole system/rotation before moving on?

Sara1000 · 09-24-11, 04:43 PM

I'm not sure I have ever completed a system - I did the Original FIRM 90 Day rotation a couple of times back when I still had most of the original FIRMs.

Seems like I can never get through a whole system before buying something new and moving on. Usually I keep the system for a while and then end up sellling it.

I have done all but one of the FIRM Express 30 Day Slimdown but now I just got a bunch of new workouts so I'm not sure if I'll get back to FE or not.
My plan is to continue doing a couple of them every week but right now the lure of new workouts is keeping me from doing the one I had scheduled for this weekend

I'm not much of a rotation person--but I did do a couple rounds of CLX and did a Tracey Mallett rotation earlier this spring. I get tired of things before 6 weeks is up.

Unless I totally abhor the system / rotation, yes, I complete it until moving on. I've gotten my best results following fitness programs (P90X, STS, etc.) / rotations.

Yes I do. I have completed the Firm 90 day a few times but it was a long time ago. I have also completed STS and CLX and am now doing TA's Meta Omni. I sometimes like to work my way thru all the workouts form one instructor and then move on to another. Actually I like rotations because I will just do it rather than trying to decide on something. Keeps me motivated.

I normally complete them. It's actually the only time that I'm consistent......

I've never completed any rotation, and in fact, have never been able to follow one for longer then a week. I get bored.

Same here.

I got through about 42 days of P90X before giving up. That was the longest I'd ever stuck to any rotation. I just decided to start a 60 day Skogg rotation tomorrow. Let's see how that goes. :/

Yes, unless I have a compelling reason not to. Compelling to me would be an injury, or as was the case with one DVD rotation, finding the changes I was seeing were very much contrary to what I wanted (my arms were starting to look like twigs - ugh!). That it was also as boring as watching paint dry didn't hurt, either.

I try but I have found for most 90 day rotations I stop at two months which is what I have done with P90x, STS and Supreme 90. Well, I don't always stop but at that point I start mixing things up, substitution other workouts for the rotation.
