Need Substitutions for July Rotation

[spottyd]

And yes, I know it is almost August!!!!
I am actually missing quite a few of the tapes on the July rotation and am hoping someone can tell me what tapes I can use in place of these.
Here are the tapes I DO NOT have (I am sure most of you will gasp when you see how many I don't have, but I'm working on it!!!):
Step Fit
Cardio and Weights
Pyramid Lower Body
Step Works
Imax 1
Imax 2
Pyramid Upper
Strong Legs & Abs

I have the CTX series, Pure Strength Series, Power Hour, MIC, MIS, Circuit Max, Cardio Kicks, Wedding Tape, Power Max, Body Max, Mega Step Blast ...and I think that is it!!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

Hi Courtney,

I haven't got Step Fit or Step Works either so will be substituting these with the step workouts from Cardio Classics Vol. 1 (any 60 minute step workout would do, though), Rhythmic Step and CTX: All Step, depending on my mood

Cardio and Weights could be swapped with Circuit Max.

I don't think there's a real substitute for IMAX 1 & 2 but I think you'd get a shorter equivalent with CTX: Step & Intervals.

I don't have Strong Legs and Abs (is that part of the Pure Strength series?) so I'm planning to substitute with Pyramid Lower Body because for my body it's a strength not an endurance workout (I've read some posts from people who find this to be an endurance workout.) If you only have the lower body workout from CTX, I think it would be okay to use Leaner Legs again.

I'm not sure what to recommend in place of Pyramid Upper Body based on what you have because I don't have the Pure Strength Series or MIS. PUB works the entire upper body (biceps, triceps, shoulders, back, chest and abs) and lasts for just under an hour. Is it practical to do half of the the two Pure Strength upper body workouts so that you're working for an hour instead of two? Or what about doing just the upper body segments of Body Max and MIS? I'm sure someone else would be able to recommend a better equivalent!

These are just my oppinions, I'm sure you'll get a lot more!
Good luck

P.S. I just started the July rotation [on Sunday] too!

Thanks so much, Lisa! This is JUST what I needed! I will be finishing up my Slim Series rotation in another week, and wanted to have something else lined up to do next - it sounds like everyone is having really good luck with Cathe's July rotation, so I've just got to give it a shot!!!

I really appreciate the time you took to respond - thanks so much! And - good luck with the July rotation!!!!
