May Fitness Rotation

[Cathe Friedrich]

This month's rotation will focus on Variety Training. You will experience various cardio training workouts as well as incorporate the concept of muscle confusion. The benefits of Variety Training is that it distributes the training load throughout the body, thereby helping to prevent overuse injuries. It also helps keep your mind and body stimulated and free of boredom. This rotation is best suited for the seasoned exerciser who enjoys doing a little bit of everything while seeking to burn body fat, enhance functional strength and encourage more lean muscle mass development. Enjoy!

Hi Cathe:
Thanks for the rotation for May - it looks great. But I currently do not own PS Back, Biceps and Abs; or Chest, Shoulder, Triceps or any of the Slow & Heavy Series and need advise on which other videos I could use in replace. I have every one of your other videos, including the Intensity Series.

I already did Body Max yesterday and cannot believe how much stronger I am than when I purchased this a few months ago and did it for the first time. I'm looking forward to doing Rythmic Step tonight (one of my favorites).

Sticking with the CTX Series for 3 weeks gave me wonderful results, I'm much leaner and even lost a few pounds.

Any help with this rotation would be great!

Thanks.
Erin
