January 2012 DOUBLE ROTATION

[Cathe Friedrich]

Happy New Year Everyone! If you’re like me, right about now those joyous, calorie-filled holidays have left their mark…..darn butter cookies!!! And, in my case, while I refuse to step on a scale to see just what happened, I don’t really have to, as my jeans are already "squeezing in" on the matter at hand. That's why this month I've decided to kick off the New Year’s resolutions with not one, but two rotations. Why two? Well, let’s just say I’m super motivated, lol. Seriously though, I’ve designed two STS/LIS rotations (both highly effective) to not only burn off this holiday’s damage but to keep you committed without any guesswork. I’ve learned over time half the reason people give up on their New Year’s resolutions (in less than a month of making them) is because they lack the commitment and knowledge it takes to get the job done. That’s where I step in with my two rotations:

1) STS/LIS One Month Total Body Recharge…. a high intensity, metabolically stimulated fat loss rotation for the person who wants to torch off an excess of unwanted calories, recharge their fitness level and feel empowered as they do it. This rotation uses STS Total Body and therefore is well suited for those who prefer Total Body Workouts and/or do not own the complete STS Strength Training System

2) STS/LIS Three Month Transformation Rotation….for the person who wants to get ignited in the same way they would as if doing the one month rotation, but is looking for that little extra something (a little extra edge, a little extra push) to get even more results from doing a more concentrated, undulating rotation. This longer-termed commitment will build ongoing results such as steady fat loss, solid strength gain, and superior metabolic conditioning.


Thinking about doing both rotations? Not a problem. You can do just the one month recharge rotation and then continue on afterwards with the three month transformation rotation. The key thing here is commitment. Remember, commitment is a muscle (wink) so start flexing!

[nsaeolian]

wow or should I say Owwww? ha ha. Now I can get rid of my Christmas extra pounds .

 

[wiggie]

Thanks Cathe!! This is great, I was pondering what to do after I finish my 3 month STS this week, so after my recovery week is over, I will do both rotations. So excited!!

 

[BlakKat]

Thank you Cathe!

This looks awesome & exactly what I need. I am going to do both rotations and it will take me right up to the day I go on vacation in the Spring. Thank you Cathe for taking the time to create this for us - as always, you are awesome!

 

[rcsaros]

Does anyone want to do a checkin for the rotations? or are you joining another one that already exists?

I am thinking of doing both, starting with the 4 week one and then continuing on. But then again it could change depending on what Cathes next rotation is.

I have to say I have never stuck to a rotation but for some reason I am really enjoying the LIS workouts and Cathe. I have always enjoyed Cathe but some of the workouts are hard and I don't feel like working that hard but I am cleaning out my videos and basically Cathe are the ones I am keeping.

I started the 3 month Transformation Rotation last night! I don't have STS, so I substituted Gym Styles Chest & Triceps, and the Shoulder segment from Gym Styles Back, Shoulders, & Biceps in its place. Will this be a suitable switch?

 

[macbeanur]

Thanks Cathe! I had planned to do STS again with LIS and it is so nice to have your 3 month rotation!!

 

[Nanbo]

I ordered STS!!!

I decided to bite the bullet and ordered STS yesterday!!!!! I think the January 3 month Transformation Rotation will be a perfect way to be introduced to STS and then segue into the 3 1/2 month STS Rotation! I am fired up and ready to "train like a warrior"!!!!
