Hi everyone!

I am just finishing up a P90X classic rotation, which led to strength gains and a drop in pants size, but I still need to burn some fat. I probably need to lose about 20 lbs. or so overall.

I've looked at some of the fat loss rotations posted here and have attempted to create my own based upon the workouts that I own, my goals, and my workout preferences. I tried to be flexible with the cardio and with yoga selections, so that I could have some spontaneity.

I'd be most appreciative of any feedback or suggestions. TIA!

HI. I just ordered BBC and I recently received Squeeze. How do you like BBC?? I'll have to come back to your rotation once I get mine!
 
Stacy,
I like it so far, but I haven't yet tried them all. Love, love, love the fact that you can bang out a tough weight workout in 30 min.

Would be most appreciative of any other feedback!

I love BBC but only did two weeks of it and have now been ill and unable to workout for 8 days. I find BBC quite tough, especially the non-treadmill cardio. Before I got sick, I was doing them as produced and as of right now I plan on going back to that as soon as I can. I think your rotation looks doably tough. I'm unfamliar with squeeze. It looks like your rotation hits all the body parts and has plenty of cardio. I'm no expert but it looks good to me. Let us know how you like it!
 
Grrrr....I'm still waiting for my BBC to come in the mail! I ordered from HSN, seems to be taking forever. I have some knee issues so don't run and I'll probably have to modify some of the cardio. I've actually been sick as well, so may do a week of something lighter before I jump into this rotation, but still cant wait to try it.
 
Hi Cathy,

Your workout looks like a tough one. But I am interested in checking this out.:p

What is BBC? Who puts this out? Also, what is Squeeze and by who?

Thanks for any information.

Sincerely,
 
Heidi,
BBC is Barry's Boot Camp. Here is a link: http://www.barrysbootcamp.com/

I tried to set up my rotation based upon Barry's approach of doing weights/cardio on the same day. Each of Barry's five-day workouts gives you an approx. 30 min. weight workout plus your choice of a 30 min. treadmill cardio or 30 min. non-TM cardio (or both). It's quite a versatile series. I like BBC overall (some workouts more than others), but I am basically doing my own cardio, as you can see.

Squeeze is fantastic! It's a style of workout that's totally new to me - a blend of yoga, pilates, barre method, and resistance training that really gets in there and gives you a good burn. Here is a link for this one: http://squeezebytracy.com/

I am enjoying this rotation - I don't feel as pooped as I did while doing the X, so I would say it's not as tough as other rotations, but it is just the kind of change I needed. With BBQs, graduations, retirements, and other social functions filling up the calendar, I have to admit that I have not been as diligent on the eating end of this; therefore, I don't expect miraculous fat loss results and will probably be giving this another go (with a few tweaks, I would imagine).

Hi Cathy,

}( Thank you for the information. I will have to check these out Too!;-)

I am new to Cathe's workouts and am liking them oh so much! I tend to build muscle really fast so I have to be careful. I run for my cardio workouts so this part isn't new to me. I tend to stick to trails rather than roads because running on roads caused me to crack my tibia a few years back.

Squeeze seems to be interesting too. From what you have mentioned it mixes yoga and pilates. These will be great for keeping flexible.

Thanks again Cathy!;-)

Sincerely,
 
So Cathy,
Did you follow the rotation? How did you like it? Any results (physcial or other)? I would love to hear how you liked it or if you tweaked it and how it worked for you! TIA!

Hi Cathy,

Checking back with you to see how your workout went.
Did you get the results you were looking for? What are you working on now?

I bought BBC and like it other than the fact the reps aren't consistant. I go at my pace and rewind if needed. The treadmill cardio is tough. I won't ever be able to run a 6 minute mile and my treadmill only goes to a 10% incline. (I know...you don't have to do their speed but its a challenge) :D
I haven't checked out Squeeze yet. Currently I am working on a mix of "Strong like a Bull","Get ready for Summer 07" and a peppering of Sept.07 "Circuit City". }(

Take Care,
 
Well, I enjoyed this rotation, but I only did it once. Weight stayed the same, but I lost 1/2 inch from my waist, 1.5" from my hips, and 1/2 inch from my thighs. I have to say, the rotation that has really made a difference for me has been the Aug. 04. I have done 11 weeks of it (changed up each time) and am pleased with the results. I lost a few more inches (1.5 inches from my waist, another 1/2 inch from my hips, and 1/2 inch each thigh) and a few lbs. (cleaning up my diet at the tail end of it). But what I'm really happy about is that I see much more tone in my lower body. I am about to switch to a time-saving circuit rotation, but I will most certainly return to the Aug. 04 again.

Squeeze is great! I do short mish-moshes as add-ons. The abs and leg sections in there are favorites.

Hi Angela,

:) Not Cathy but she did reply to a similar question from me above.

How is this rotation working for you?

:D I did the CTX Kickboxing today and loved it! After was a 30 min. treadmill run. 5min warm up (as if I wasn't warmed up already) 20min steady easy run of a 12min mile. Then a cool down for 5min.
Feel great after this workout!
