I recommending checking out some of the rotations located at http://www.fitnessvideofanatics.com/publicrotations/keep.fit Crystal

I think this routine is doable for those who just have one hour per day to exercise. You can do short but intense workouts on the days you strength training and longer sessions on off days. For example: Week 1 Day 1 - Circuit Training Day 2 - Cardio (60 minutes) Day 3 - Circuit...

Last year, I used Cathe's tapes along with gym equipment to do an eight week rotation I found in Muscle & Fitness Hers. I had excellent results mixing Cathe's tapes with gym equipment. Some days I would use Cathe's tapes. Some days I would use gym equipment. It all depended on my mood. What...

I'm not Cathe but I recommend using dumbbells. You can get the same effect for exercises such as lunges, squats, and leg presses using a dumbbell in each hand as opposed to a barbell resting on your shoulders. You can also do leg exercises without weights. The weights add more resistance but...

My vote is for S&H. Crystal

Julliana, Your rotation looks pretty intense. It looks like you have about two hours per day to train? Crystal

Has anyone done this rotation with the new tapes (i.e., Pyramid, ME)? Crystal

I've seen this term mentioned on the list before. How do you perform a plyo jack? Crystal

I'm curious to know if anyone use resistance bands and/or tubing with Cathe strength tapes instead of or in addition to free weights. If so, how effective is this method of training? Thanks Crystal

I'm curious to know if those who tend to carry lots of weight (e.g., fat or muscle) use heavy weights on their lower body. My problem areas are my thighs. That's where I need to lose the remaining fat. I'm reluctant to go heavier because my thighs tend to get bigger not smaller when I use...

I only work one muscle group per day when I do this series. Day 1 - Legs Day 2 - Shoulders plus cardio Day 3 - Back plus cardio Day 4 - Biceps plus cardio Day 5 - Chest plus cardio Day 6 - Triceps plus cardio Day 7 - Rest I normally do 30 minutes of cardio. The end result is I...

I sometimes use dumbbells with the PLB series to allow for more rests. However, I have to go lighter when I do. If I go heavier I experience tension in the lower back. I'm not really trying to build up my already large thighs so going lighter and using dumbbells isn't an issue for me. I...

PLB barbell work consists of lunges, plie squats, regular squats, leg presses, and deadlifts. There's no reason why you can't use dumbbells for these exercises. I've used them several times myself with this series because it gave me more rest time between sets. Crystal

RE: Rotation question for Cathe or other Rotation exper... I only have the Pyramid DVD. I'm not a rotation expert but here are my ideas. Total Body Day 1 - Total Body (e.g. Pyramid or Muscle Endurance) Day 2 - Cardio (e.g., Imax2 or Bootcamp (cardio only)) Day 3 - Cardio Day 4 - Total...

I'm curious to know which Cathe rotation series has been the most effective for you in terms of strength gains and/or fat loss. Here's what worked for me. P.S. I haven't done this in awhile as it was an exhausting routine for me. The emphasis was on the lower body. Day 1 - Power Hour plus...

I noticed that my form was suffering when I did all the supersets for a muscle group without resting. It's a tad longer supersetting between muscle groups between sets but my form didn't suffer and I was able to lift heavier weights.

I'm own PH, S&H, PS, Body Max and MIS. I'm not using them with the Pyramid DVD at this time. My endurance isn't as great as some other people here. I find that if I do total body workouts or do long cardio/weight sessions that I'm completely wiped out. I don't like feeling that way so I...

Is anyone using the Pyramid DVD to superset between muscle groups? I tried it today with back and biceps and found I could go heavier between sets for both muscle groups because of the rest period. Crystal
