Dreaming of an Easy Week

So today while Amy Bento was kicking my butt (I was doing her Kickbox Xtreme workout) and I was sweating buckets in the horrible heat, I started thinking about how nice it would be to have an easy week soon. Not a week off exactly (though I know it’s perfectly acceptable to take time off once in a while), but just an easygoing workout week. Here’s the rotation I came up with for that kind of week along with suggested videos in parentheses:

• Sunday: Total Body (Kimberly Spreen’s Amplify Your Strength From Within) + Upper Body Sculpt from Cathe’s Basic Step
• Monday: Low Impact Step Aerobics (Cathe Friedrich’s Low Impact Step)
• Tuesday: Total Body Weights (Cathe’s Total Body Sculpting)
• Wednesday: Dancing (Kimberly Spreen’s Self: Dance Your Way Slim)
• Thursday: Circuit Weights & Step Aerobics (Cathe’s Body Fusion)
• Friday: Pilates/Yoga (Basic Yoga for Dummies)
• Saturday: Stretch, Rest (Cathe’s Total Body Stretching--1 segment)

This might also be a good weekly rotation for a beginner. I’ve added it to my Word document of rotation ideas and I’ll save it for one of those weeks when I need a bit of a rest, but not complete rest.
