July 2012 Rotation

[Cathe Friedrich]

Hi Everyone! Since so many of you have just received the new workouts, Cross Fire and To The Max, I decided to focus on them with this July rotation. Remember that Cross Fire and To The Max are mostly cardio based and the amount of weight work included in these workouts is not significant enough to interfere with your weigh training days. This is why you will many times see the new workouts scheduled the day before or the day after your weight training days.

With this in mind, remember that anytime you do a brand new workout or workout sequence, DOMS may very likely occur. Mild muscle soreness
is fine to workout on top of with either cardio or weights. In fact it can help break up tightness and speed up recovery. More intense DOMS should be given proper recovery time of at least 48 hours between weight workouts (light cardio is ok to do with DOMS). So if you are ultra sore during any point in this rotation you'll need to modify it to suit your needs. As your body gets acclimated to the rotation, you'll experience less soreness between workouts.

Good luck and remember that lots of water, excellent nutrition, and extra sleep improve your results!!!!

I was wondering the same thing. Did she mean LIS trisets? I don't have STS totaly body, so I don't know if this is a premix on it or not. As well as when she says plyo legs from sts. Is that from meso 3 or is that on the sts total body?

I thought the same about LIS. The STS Total Body premixes are just titled upper and lower body only and, of course, the LIS is Tri-Sets.

On some of her other rotations that featured Plyo Legs she would usually write Plyo Legs of choice from STS Meso 3.

We've corrected the Typo. It should have said LIS, not STS for Upper Body and Lower Body Trisets
