CTX????

Hey everyone,

Need some opinions please....would you consider the CTX series a good "intermediate to advanced" rotation/set for someone getting back into fitness? I have been using Cathe's LIS and BF/BS DVDs including the strength workouts for several weeks...thinking of trying CTX next to up the cardio and weights. Or, would it be a good idea to try a couple of other full body workouts twice a week or so, such as MIS/MM/SS/PP? I haven't done CTX in ages, thought it might keep me interested with all the variety. I am mainly trying to burn fat/lose weight and tone up right now. Thanks!

Robyn just did the CTX rotation for the past 3 weeks - and it was a smashing success for her. Start with it for a week to see how you feel, then add on or change as you see fit.
 
Just another suggestion...
If you have it, the timesaver DVD is a little easier than CTX, so this one also might be a good next step.
 
CTX is really awesome, and one of the great things about it is that the cardio sessions are not that long... 30 minutes on average. That's nice when you're getting back into things (and you can double up once you're back in full). Good luck!!

Hi there!

Busy day at work sorry I didn't see your post earlier. YES by all means it is the perfect way to get back into working out. I've got just 1 more workout and I've finished 4 weeks and this after a year plus off. My energy is SO much better and now even clothes are fitting great :)

As the others have said it's great because the cardio is very intense, there is great variety, and it's weights as well.

Let us know if you decide to do it.

I say yes, do CTX. Since you have done it before, I think you'll love getting back into the variety of it remembering how much fun it is!

Thanks for the comments and encouragement everyone! Yes, I also have the Timesaver DVD so I could mix that in there as well. Injuries are so frustrating--that is part of my problem as far as getting out of shape. Excuses no more! I am grateful for all of your help. I think I will start the CTX series either next week or even the next! I will let you know my progress! Thanks again!

Hey Thea...
I will also be starting the CTX rotation. Based on Robyn's success, I finally bought it. The Hard Core is a little too well...hard core...for me right now and I am worn out on the Intensity series for ramping back up. I have been doing a little mix and match. I am kind of torn between the November rotation and a CTX rotation.

Maybe we can work together! Mine arrives today!!!!!! My DH doesn't know I bought it and wouldn't you know it, he has a meeting with a guy to fix our deck today and he is here. Hey UPS - timing is everything today!!!!
