Cardio Slim Down Rotation

Cathlete
Hi, If anyone is interested here is a 4-week rotation. It’s a 7-day workout week. But, you can use one of the steady states as a rest or yoga day (or leave jumps out [what I do] or use a lower step or both). It’s inspired by the Strong & Sweaty/Ripped rotation, but with an extra steady state cardio after a leg-type workout. I like to get the blood/nutrients/water to my muscles after a leg day and feel like the “typical” Cathlete doesn’t need to train legs as much as some people because we step and HIIT train so much. I tend to build muscle easily, so this might not be great for someone who is doing a bulk.

I’m going to add abs in the rotation. I like doing abs 2 – 3x/week. But, I know there are days when I need to shift an ab routine to another day, so that’s ok too.
