[miastine]

Hi
I am a newbie to Cathes workouts.
I have bought all her dvds, but as I am a beginner I am afraid of killing myself or loosing motivation by starting off with some of her toughest workouts

I am 230lbs and I have already lost 35lbs doing Leslie Sansone and Firm dvds. I have started with Cathes basic step this past week, but I am not sure if the rotation is the best for max fat loss and muscle gain? what would you recommend?

My beginner rotation: (I start off with Leslies 1 mile DVD every workout day)

Mon: 1 mile, Basic step, upper body sculpt, and stretch max 20 min.
Tue: 1 mile, lower body sculpt, abs 10 min.
Wed: 1 mile, Basic step, upper body sculpt.
Thu: 1 mile, lower body sculpt, abs 10 min.
Fri: 1 mile, Basic step, upper body sculpt, and stretch max 20 min.
sat: rest
sun: rest

any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Congrats on your weight loss!!! So is this the rotation you are currently doing? If so, how long have you been doing it? I think at this point if you are new to Cathe then just the variety of changing it up will be good. I'd give the rotation 4-6 weeks and see how it goes. If you are continuing to see improvement then by all means keep doing what you are doing. Once you "stall" then it's time o change it up a bit.

Here's a rotation posted by Cathe:http://www.thecathenation.com/forum/...d.php?t=236223

Good luck

When you say "upper body sculpt" and "lower body sculpt", what workouts are you doing???

Is there any way you can take your rest days on Tuesday and Friday? I think you need more recovery time doing all those sculpting workouts.
