Hi Everyone! I know this is a huge ongoing month of festivities but lets also keep our health a high priority on our “to do” list.
This month we are shocking our systems by mixing high impact with low impact workouts and also combining muscular strength with muscular endurance workouts. I have factored in additional stretching in case your body feels especially tight from the “after shock”. Expect to enhance your metabolism, burn fat, calories, improve flexibility and build better bone density! Now if you can do all that great, but if you can do it through the busy month of December, even better! Holiday Self Help: For every holiday indulgence, drink two extra glasses of water, do 25 push ups and 50 crunches (that ought to keep your indulgences in check, wink).
So if you’re ready, let’s take on our last rotation of 2011 with everything we’ve got!

Wow! This rotation rocks! I’m a bit scared by afterburn/athletic training followed by one of the Imax or Hiit workout, but I’d really like to give it a try as it seems very challenging. Thanks Cathe for pushing us towards new goals and keep us going even through this special month! So… game face on, ready… set…go!
Thanks for the “holiday self help!” It’s simple but brilliant! I’m refocusing on fitness after grueling semester of grad school lured me away from my daily Cathe “me” time. Thanks for the pep talk!
Is there something I could substitute for the Imax series (sorry two left feet) maybe drill max? Cardio core?
I AM READY FOR JANUARYS ROTATION!!! ANYONE ELSE READY???? NEED TO DROP A FEW BUT I DID DO BETTER THAN I THOUGHT….YAHOO!!!
