Hi Kandycane,
A few weeks ago I took on the following challenge that was first recommended by Cathe and later brought up as a "group rotation" idea by Kathy S. A few of us on this forum joined in to follow the rotation all together at the same time, and it was a lot of fun. I had great results from following this 3 week rotation and loved it so much that I am in the process of repeating it over again. You could just replace the cardio tapes that are listed, and use cardio tapes that you have instead, or any other form of cardio that you like. I really think it's a very effective rotation using the PS Series. I have copy & pasted the thread below. Hope this helps!

Featured Rotation Challenge Week of 7/21"
Okay, folks, let's see what we're made of!
I propose that we start our Featured Rotation Challenge with one of Cathe's own rotations. This is one of my personal favorites because it incorporates almost all of my favorites among Cathe's most recent tapes. If you don't own one of these tapes, substitute another Cathe tape (or that of another instructor) that's the same type (strength, cardio, total body, circuit) and of a similar duration.
This is a three-week repeatable rotation, and I thought it might be a nice one for us to start with because it targets the goals of both fat loss and strength gains AND it can be suspended (if we want to) once we get the new tapes and HAVE to plug them in!
So here it is -- Start on Saturday or Monday (or today, for that matter), and enjoy! I'm looking forward to seeing how we're all doing.
