Hello Everyone.
I need help with a rotation that incorporates heavy upper body weight lifting at a gym. My company encourages its employees to join the gym that is in the building (they even pay half the cost and it's a great way to get noticed by the execs). However, I also workout (mostly to Cathe) 5 to 6 days at home. During the work week, I workout at 4:30 in the morning, before work.
What I'm having trouble with is figuring out where to schedule my home weight workouts and circuit workouts since I also do weights twice a week at the gym. You guys are so great at putting together rotations, I thought I'd ask your help.
Here's what I'd like to do...I always do my upper body gym lifting on Tuesdays and Thursdays at lunchtime (for about 40 minutes). I usually do half the upper body parts on Tuesday and the remaining upper body parts on Thursdays. I also workout in the mornings of my gym days (I have up to 90 minutes to do this). I'd like to see two different rotations, (1) that includes Cathe strength training (upper and lower body), my gym workouts, a ciruit and cardio and (2) that includes Cathe endurance training, my gym workouts, a circuit and cardio (plus a rest day of course). Don't worry if this sounds like I'm over training. Every couple of weeks I take a break from the gym or add in an extra rest day.
I've got pretty much all of Cathe's workouts except for some of her older stuff and I don't have MIC. I especially love step and kickboxing. My goals are to lean out my lower body (I don't really need any bulk here) but keep the strength I've built into my upper body (I don't mind bulk here). Oh, and I do have a DVD player so premixes are welcome.
Sorry for the long post. I look forward to all your ideas.
Take Care,
Shelbygirl
