Thank you Cathe this is great. This will take the guess-work out of what workout I will do next.

Again Thank you Tonya :D

better. Thank you Cathe!!:7

Thank you so much Cathe. This is great. I always have trouble with deciding which workouts to do and this takes the guessing out. You've made my day.

Hi Cathe,
I really appreciate your time and input for rotations. I am currently working out to your Pyramid Rotation to build muscle. All of you work will go to good use.


Thanks

Thanks so much Cathe! I was just trying to figure out a new rotation to maintain or build up muscle! You took the guess work out for me! Susan

[Cathe Friedrich]

Hi Susan! I'm pretty sure that you were referring to building muscle endurance in the above post but just in case I just want to clarify that this rotation is for muscle ENDURANCE building (the ability to handle a moderate weight for longer periods of time and numerous reps) rather than muscle strength building (the ability to handle a heavy weight for shorter periods and less reps). Can't hurt to double check, right? Take Care:)

[Kimba]

Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

Thanks so much Cathe. I can start this rotation today --I literally just opened my copt of CTX Upper Body:7

[likes2bfit]

Cathe Thanks!
I am planning to do a endurance rotation next! Right now I am on my own 4 days on 1 off rotation (one endurance, one strength day) (posted here also) and when it finishes I will move on to your endurance rotation.
Do you have any suggestons to substitute for Cardio Kicks? My Knee can't take the snap and recoil any more. I have pain for the whole day afterwards.

I think you're trying to kill us. LOL! Thanks for a great rotation!
