[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Sep-03-02 AT 03:34PM (Est)[/font][p]I have these tapes: CTX upper body split, S&H series, Rhythmic Step, Power hour, MIS and Tae-Boe.
I got the stepper and had to return it because I live in a small apartment and could not do the steps routine due to limited space.
My stats: Female 29y/old, 5'3"-150lbs do not know BF.
Now I would like to lose fat and build muscles.
I was training very good and stopped few months ago. As of january this year my BF wa 17%, my diet was pertty clean. I use to cycle my carbs(brown rice, yams, oatmealand plenty of green beggies), and eat clean protein(meat, eggs,fish).
I had some personal trouble and got depressed and stopped trainning. Now I find it so hard to do anything and my clothes do not fit.
I have a gym membership and have access to all classes(spinning e, etc) and also free weights and machines.
Can you please assist me on a routine to combine gym (cardio) with your tapes. The only cardio I am able to do at home is tae-boe since it doe snot requieres much space. I will be able to do your tapes only at night after I pick up my daughter.
Please help me on this!! I need all the support I can get now.Thanks

Hello,

OK, you have tapes and you have gym membership and you have a local park nearby?

The way to start is easy and build it up, don't expect to jump in and finish a Cathe tape on your first try. How I did it was to say to myself that I will stick 1 or 2 tapes and will not go on to others until i have mastered them. I am still using only PH, MIS and BodyMax 3 months later. I combine them with running. If you can get to the gym, then do running.

The way I do it is MIS one day and 1/2 running the following day. If you go heavy with MIS and work flat out, then you will still be exhausted the day after and 1/2 running is good or a light step tape like PowerMax. Do a programme that includes 2-3 weights and 2-3 cardios (mix and match however you like, e.g. 2 weights for one week and 3 cardios, the following week is 3 weights and 2 cardios). Have 2 days of rest where you can either just go for a walk or do a stretch tape or nothing, but my advice is do not take 2 rest days consecutively, rather take one mid-week and one at the end of the week.

Increase the weights and cardio intensity as you become fitter. Remember that to lose weight you should aim to exercise 5-6 days a week. To maintain your weight once you have reached your ideal weight, then exercise 3-4 days a week.
