Cathe, I have a question about your June rotation....

[Valjane]

What should I substitute for running? My knees just cannot take the pavement. I have tried to incorporate running into my fitness regimen but my knees ache way to much for it to be normal. Thanks,

Val

Hi Valjane,

I'm certainly not cathe, but maybe you could do fast walking or replace it with any kind of cardio. I don't know if you're able to do hi/lo but that gets your heart rate up pretty good.

hope this helps

Yes I do all of Cathe's workouts running outside on pavement is just too much for my joints!!

For those of you using the monthly rotations, where do you find them? Is it on this website or somewhere else.

Jeany!

Jeany,

Go to the Forums home page and scroll down. There are a bunch of Forums and the Rotations Forum is the very last one at the bottom of the page. Cathe posts a monthly rotation (and has been now for more than a year), and members also post great rotations, feedback and questions. Enjoy!

If i'm not in the mood to run, i will substitute IMAXes for the Interval workouts, and then whatever premix or regular workout I'm in the mood for on steady state run days.

I don't know if you work out at home or a gym, but I do the Nordic Trak. My knees can hardly bear LoMax - Imax is out, so the NordicTrak I find work well.

Since you are able to do all of Cathe's workouts, try the Blasts only from one of the Imax's or do part of an Imax. Yesterday, instead of a 30 min. run I did Imax 3 1-7 and I went all out since I was leaving 3 intervals off.
