Cathe’s Jan 2014 Metabolic Rotation

Hi Everyone! Happy 2014. I hope your holiday was everything you wanted it to be. This month almost everyone in the universe is starting their New Years Resolutions and of course one of the top three every year is to lose weight. With that in mind this month is going to focus on metabolic workouts and heavier lifting. Both of these types of workouts burn body fat, rev the metabolism and help you lose inches. In addition metabolic workouts, in which the focus is on compound movements, are great because they keep your body releasing growth hormone to ensure as much strength and muscular growth as possible while dieting. The key to this rotation is that it MUST accompany a clean diet or your results will be minimal for fat loss. But what better time than now to want to eat clean and purge unnecessary body fat! Let’s Do this!!!

  • @ Suzi and Gail, Cathe puts out a different rotation almost monthly. The majority of Cathe’s followers have been with her for decades and purchase her dvd’s immediately upon release. I realize a lot of people are new to Cathe and don’t have all her dvd’s, like myself and others. It would probably be better for you to just substitute similar dvd’s if you don’t own the ones listed.

  • What if your goal is to not lose weight? Could you substitute a cardio day with a lighter weight workout (give examples) or with yoga/pilates?

  • I love this rotation! Probably my favourite thus far. I did it once, went through other rotations and workouts, and now I’m repeating it (in July!). Well thought out and structured.
