Hi Bdasko,

I must agree with the others. You will feel quite winded if you do cardio twice in between your workout days. No workout plan is cookie cutter so I'd try this out for a few weeks and then check your progress. I started Jillian Michaels program once and saw no weight loss and had swollen ankles (from all the jumping...yikes). I switched to a bodybuilder workout and the weight started coming off. The bodybuilding one had me lifting 4 days a week with 3 cardio days, but I was working smaller parts of my body, unlike this program where we work the WHOLE ENCHILADA!

Try it on for size and see how it works. No weight loss...adjust calorie intake (but not alot). Trouble with your work schedule....well, I know you mentioned you could do HIIT on those work weeks. I'd suggest in taking the time to do the workouts in the book at home (but you won't have weights) or go for some old-fashioned bodyweight exercises.

I like card PT. Grab a deck of cards...assign each symbol an exercise...shuffle deck...and whatever number comes up, you do that amount of each set. You could do that for 15 minutes and be done lickity split without taking the entire week off. I hope this helps. Please keep us posted. I just started NROLFW myself.
