Hi Cathe,
I need some help trying to come up with a new rotation. My weight loss efforts have stalled since last fall, even though I'm working out and watching what I eat. I lost about 20 lbs last fall/winter, and have been increasing my workouts. I'm in great shape but I just can't seem to lose any weight. I've been doing 30-60 minutes of step 4-5 days a week (mostly steady state), and have been walking a mile or two a day, 5-6 days a week. I added weights about a month ago (using the upper body portions of CTX - doing all weight segments at once, twice a week), and even though I'm getting stronger, again, I just can't seem to start losing weight. I don't know if I should try adding intervals/circuits, and if so, how many times a week. Anyway, I have the following DVDs: Body Max 2; Boot Camp + Muscle Endurance; Butts & Gutts; Cross Train Express; Drill Max; Kick, Punch & Crunch & Legs and Glutes; Imax2 + Cardio & Weights; Low Impact Circuit; Low Impact Step; Power Hour +; Power Max; Pyramid Lower + Upper Body; Slow & Heavy 3 Workout Set; and Timesaver. BTW, I'm 45 and about 40 pounds overweight. I am an intermediate/advanced everciser and LOVE complex routines.
Any suggestions to kick start my routine? Any input would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks,
Marian
