Help! I don't own CTX....

[bceogirl]

Hi Everyone!

I love Cathe''s July rotation and think it's so true that it's harder in the summertime to squeeze in LONG workouts. But.....that being said I don't own the CTX series , so can I still do the July rotation?? Eventually I want to buy the dvd ( actually I WANT to buy it now, but can't afford it with my daughters wedding next month, recent dental problems ($$$$) and many house expenses coming up) so can I substitute other workouts? I have almost every other dvd Cathe has except for PowerHour, KPC, and Ab hits.
Any suggestions?????
Thanks! Hope everyone is enjoying the 4th of July weekend!!!

Hi Becky,
It should be fairly easy to sub for CTX portions. I would suggest:
CTX Power Circuit (cardio only)-The first half of BC would work nicely or even the first 3 or so circuits from HSTA or HSC.

CTX Step Interval cardio only-5 intervals from any IMAX would work here, either the first 5 or second 5, your choice

CTX 10:10:10 cardio only-This one might be little more tricky b/c of the mix of cardio types, you might just go for 1) warm up and first 2 step segments from SJP 2) kickboxing drills only from Cardio Kicks 3) high low (High portion only from MIC)

CTX Kickbox (cardio and abs portion/NO biceps)-If you have KM you could do some of the shorter premixes, or just the first half of Cardio Kicks-just make sure to add on another approx. 6-8 min ab workout from another tape

CTX Upper Body-Just sub a pretty challenging all upper body workout, endurance style. Try combining two of the timesaver premixes from the Gymstyles or PUB (pyramid up only), or PP/SS has some nice upper body blasts

CTX All Step (cardio only)-Any 30 minutes of steady state cardio will do. Step Blast has a nice 30 minute step premix, or one of the IMAX step only premixes, the warm up and two step segments from Rhythmic Step, etc.
The times may be a little longer than what's on a CTX for some of these suggestions, but it will close.

Hope this helps,
Mattea

Thank you Mattea!!!!!

This is exactly what I was wanting! Thank you so much for taking the time to write it all out for me!

I'm going to finish with my s&h rotation and move on to this one!

Becky,
Glad to help! I know before I owned everything (yes, I'm now officially addicted LOL!) I spent a lot of time trying to puzzle out substitutions. OH! S&H is own of my fav. rotation, my upper body always looks so pumped after this!
Have fun!

Aquajock's faux-CTX rotation is very good if any of you have the Hardcore workouts: http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?...opic_id=2554&mesg_id=2554&listing_type=search

And a warning to any unfamiliar with Aquajock's rotations/mish-moshes, she's pretty darn hardcore herself.
