[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jun-12-01 AT 04:20PM (Est)[/font][p]I was wondering what type of results you guys recieved from the ctx series. Also did you do the ctx only, or did you add more cardio ect...
Thanks,
Jennifer

I especially liked the weight training segments! I got some good muscle definition with her workouts. Leaner Legs is my favorite of the strength training segments. The cardio is very intense, and very efficient. For example, if you really put a lot into it, the Kickbox tape can really get you sweating.

Personally, I always substituted at least one day of some other kind of cardio when I was on a CTX rotation, and it was always walking for me. You could ride a bike if you wanted to. 4 days a week of stepping is too much for me, but that's just me. I love stepping, don't get me wrong, but my legs don't like it!

All in all, it's a very good set and well worth the $ to get it. You can't beat the variety. Does that help at all?

Hi Jennifer,

I've been doing the CTX Series for four weeks now. This is so far the longest I've stuck with this rotation without adding any other tapes. I have definite improvements in strength and muscle definition, esp. in my arms. I don't do the six days straight, I do three on, one off, then three more on, one off and start over again - it's a lot of high impact. I've even lost a couple of pounds, and I wasn't really trying, since I've been at my goal weight for a while. I think this is a great series, the cardio quite intense and short enough so that you can really give it your "all". I love the weight work too.

IMO, this series manages to hit everything efficiently in a minimum of time - a plus for a mother of two young children I plan to continue this rotation throughout June, then switch to something else (until the new tapes come in ;-)). Hope this helps some.

Thanks for your responses. I have the ctx series, but in my head I feel like I have to do cardio for at least an hour every day and hit every muscle group at least twice a week. I need to re-train my thinking I guess. I also have 3 little ones at home so the short workouts would do me well.
