I purchased the 3 additional DVDs (buns & thighs, shed & shred, and 1 other) with the Body Revolution program and was wondering how to best incorporate those into the program? I want to be sure I am not over-working muscles or not giving them adequate rest time.

    Honestly, I don't know if I COULD do extreme shed and shred with body revolution. Maybe if I did one in the morning and the other at night. That DVD is challenging. Killer Buns and Thighs is difficult on the quads and booty, but one workout for body revolution focuses on the same areas. I don't know if I would necessarily incorporate those DVDS... I know there are some people on here that do Turbofire as well as Body Revolution so maybe she'll chime in :) If you want extra cardio, I'd do cardio and not strength training.

    I listen to Jillian's pod cast and on one of them she said that you should not add any additional weight training to Body Revolution but that you could add extra cardio. I think the only DVD that she had that is just cardio is Banish Fat Boost Metabolism.

    One of the strengths of this system is that it lets you give your muscles the 48 hours they need to build themselves (48 hours of rest). But it also lets you weight train 4 days a week. This is why jillian does "front of the body" DVDs followed by the "back of the body DVDs. If you add more weight training (which the DVDs you mentioned have) you are making the workout less efficient.
    You can however add pure cardio. Yesterday I did the new JM kickbox DVD (the abs one) after my BR workout. There are few weight training exercises there and I just substituted cardio moves when they were on. You could do BFBM like suggested above, but wow, that would be quite a workout day!

    I would save them for when you are finished with the 90 days.
