FIRM or CAthe best for fatloss?

[luvmylbb]

Hi. I was wondering which is better for fatloss? FIRM (high reps not really focusing on one body part) or Cathe DVD's. I have both and whle I love Cathe (the DVD's are such high quality) and her style, I really need to lose 15 pounds and do't know what will give me the best results. THank you for your advice!!!!!

I only have the older Firm workouts...none of their newer stuff in the last several years. I got tired of the Firm when they started making compilation tapes and nothing was ever new or more challenging and they couldn't make a cardio section longer than 20 minutes so I always had to double up on the cardio. I just like Cathe workouts much better.

That's not to say you couldn't combine the two into a rotation...if you have both workout styles I would suggest say Cathe's Weight Loss rotation for it's duration and then follow it with a week of Firm workouts because they are much less intense. Then start back with the Weight Loss rotation again and keep doing that type of a rotation until you lose the goal weight.

Remember...eat sensibly and cut out the junk or all of your hard work will not show results.

Goodluck!
