Donna Richardson's 4-Day Rotation

This is one of my favourite videos because it has so many options. I am an avid parts user: I seldom do a video the whole way through and have a special fondness for videos with several mix and match sections. This video has 4 15-minute segments, 1 each for abs, buttocks, hips/thighs and upper body. You can do all of them, just one or two or any combination. On a time-pressed day you could do one segment then 15 minutes on a stepper or cardio machine for a full workout. You could also pair it with on of those 20-minyte living arts yoga tapes, or with sections from the method pilates tapes. Donna is very motivating and high-energy, and the reps are slow enough that you can use medium-heavy weights. I don't think you'll get huge muscle with this, but two segments a day is a thorough enough strength rotation to see results. After all, when you do a 30-minte strength tape you are not spending more than 15 minutes on any one part anyway. So don't let the length of the segments fool you into thinking you'll get off easy: this video can work for you if you do it properly and choose your weights carefully.
