Hardcore rotation- Fat Burning?
- Thread starter Mic
- Start date
Hi, I am on week number two of the official Cathe vrotation, but prior to that I had started with a similar rotation, my own version.
Which is basically 4 cardio workouts, 2 full body strengh workouts, and abs 3 times a week.
My results have been amazing, I dont step on the scale because the scale does not tell the whole story. The scale may be the same because muscle weights more that fat, so it you lose, 1/2 pound of fat and you gain 1/2 pound of muscle tha scale may not change if fact it may go up. Also during PMS we may have water gain, so don't beleive what the scale is telling you.
I see that I am losing fat and getting more cut, more cut in the abs and all over.
I am also eating clean most days, I take a day off.
I don't follow any particular diet although when I do, the Zone is diet of choice.
In a nut shell: you want to eat complex carbs, which are non starchy vegetables, whole grains, like steel cut oats, brown rice and barley. Lean proteins and for a woman, 3 ounces of fish, or chicken breast with each meal is about right. Or egg whites omelletes with mushrooms and peppers, etc.

Thanks for responding, I noticed you have 4 days of cardio whereas in Cathes Strength rotation she has just 3 days. So that was my dilemma are the 3 days going to make enough of a dent in the fat burning process? Ofcourse eating clean most of the days. I do want to gain the strength and muscle but I also want to keep the fat down. Thanks for responding.
