Hi Everyone! Happy 2014. I hope your holiday was everything you wanted it to be. This month almost everyone in the universe is starting their New Years Resolutions and of course one of the top three every year is to lose weight. With that in mind this month is going to focus on metabolic workouts and heavier lifting. Both of these types of workouts burn body fat, rev the metabolism and help you lose inches. In addition metabolic workouts, in which the focus is on compound movements, are great because they keep your body releasing growth hormone to ensure as much strength and muscular growth as possible while dieting. The key to this rotation is that it MUST accompany a clean diet or your results will be minimal for fat loss. But what better time than now to want to eat clean and purge unnecessary body fat! Let’s Do this!!!

Hi Cathe, thank you for putting out for us these rotations every month.

What would be a good substitute for Afterburn and Cardio Core Circuit?

Happy New Year!!!

You must have read my mind with Gym Styles!!!! I've been craving those workouts for a while now ;)!!! Looks like a great rotation, Cathe, THANX!!! :D
 
Hi Cathe,

This rotation looks great. I have everything except Kick Max. What would be a good substitution for the leg conditioning drills?

Thanks

Hi Cathe, I know this is your first Christmas without your Dad, hope you're ok. Thanks for the rotation, I just bought Gym Styles, Slow & Heavy & the Pyramids last month during your fantastic sales & love them all. Excited for the chance to use them!

Mary, I would say the leg cond. in Turbo Barre or the standing leg cond. in Lower body blast (the bonus segment). Hope this helps.

Kim, thanks for those suggestions. I forgot about the bonus segment for Lower Body Blast. I think I will use that one.

You could do any barre type exercises, Like the bonus (Leg Conditioning Drills) from Lower Body Blast, Bonus Barre from Lean Legs, or just dop the leg portion from Turbo Barre. The conditioning drills in Kickmax are about 18 minutes long.
 
Suggestions for gym style substitute

Hello all,
Any suggestions for substitution for gym styles. I don't have them. ( wanted to buy them during the great December sales, but.... resisted the temptation). Don't have PS Strength or Slow and heavy, or the complete STS either. What to do?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Jane. Do you have XTRAIN? That would be a great sub for gym styles, esp. burn sets. Maybe even muscle max or maximum intensity strength. Those are heavier weight workouts from Cathe.

Kim
 
Awesome rotation for after the holidays, I am ready to get started with this tomorrow.

Thanks for a great rotation Cathe and Happy New Year!! :)
