Look at my rotation, please?

[bearcatfan]

Hi,

I am finally at a rotation that has some decent crosstraining (I'd step every day if I could) and would like some input. I want to lose about 10 more lbs.

Sun - MIS
Mon - step
Tues - IMAX (owmax) or Intense Moves
Wed - PH
Thurs - free cardio/pure strength legs floorwork
Fri - cardio kicks/body max upper

I am still working on free cardio ideas since MIC just doesn't appeal to me. Would Body Max or Circuit Max work here since it's the day after Power Hour? I have a couple dancey-type floor tapes (Still Jumpin, Donnamite) that I haven't done too often.

Hi ROse,

The rotation looks pretty good to me but you may want to add another day of cardio in there if you are trying to lose 10 lbs.
I do 6 days of cardio a week and sometimes twice a day.And try to work with weights 3 days a week although I am not on any rotation right now.I just got the new cathe rotations so I am trying to figure out which one I want to do.
How much time do you have to work out? I sometimes do aerobics and powerhour in the same workout or do power hour in the evening.You could do one of the CTX tapes with your powerhour.i think that is what I will do today.Anyway, hopefully someone more educatued may have better answers for you.

I should have mentioned that I do MIS and PH during my daughter's afternoon nap, and cardio at the ungodly hour of 4:30 a.m. I like to keep cardio to 30-40 minutes, so I am thinking about getting CTX but that won't be for a while. To get a third weight day in, I split upper/lower body and do them during naptime the last two days of the week.

I am keeping a food journal and it's amazing the difference it makes - having to write it down makes me think about how to spend those calories! I already feel lighter, but am forcing myself to weigh in only every two weeks. The lowest I've been as an adult is 120, and I'm 135 (maybe less) right now at 5-1.

I guess I am looking for a decent third cardio option, since a lot of Cathe's cardios involve the step in one way or another. My jaw dropped when I previewed Just Jumpin, but I don't like Gilad, so I'm somewhere in between on the choreo scale.
