Cathe’s March 2024 Workout Rotation

ByCathe Friedrich Reading Time: 2 minutes

This month ( March 2024 Workout Rotation) we’ll slow things down a bit and focus on some heavy lifting. Three days each week you’ll perform heavy weighted body part routines, and two times per week you’ll do shorter hiit cardio routines. You’ll also notice that you have two off/recovery days each week. Taking the extra time to recover will help to restore the strength and energy that you need to give your all to your workouts. You can use these days to rest completely or to enjoy one of my recovery routines. Feel free to do all low impact cardio routines in place of the high impact if desired. Try to fuel your body with solid nutrition so that it can perform at its best and as always, have some fun!
