Hi everyone!
I've been making my own rotations lately, and have gotten very effective results (more UB muscle definition, toned and smaller LB -- I'm pear shaped). I'm not looking to lose weight, as losing inches is my main goal. All my pants are looser in the thigh/butt area which means I'm doing something right
. Here is a rotation I did a few months back and wanted to share just in case anyone was interested. Gotta help my fellow Cathletes out! Of course, eating well is 80% of your results. Keep in mind, I did these same workouts for
1 month. My goal was to get accustomed to the weight work and try to increase my weight #'s, endurance, strength. Upon completing, I was able to *eek* out a few more barre leg lifts and complete 1 leg hamstring roll-out on the stability ball!
D1-PUB
D2-Hiit or Tabata or Intervals cardio of choice (TTM, CF, Imax, Hiit, ect.)
D3-STS Legs M1 W4 w/bonus leg drills with stability ball. You MUST add this bonus!
D4- Steady State cardio of choice (KPC, Step Blast, Step Moves, ect)*
D5- Yoga or stretch + ab of choice
D6- Turbo Barre in it's entirety
D7- off
Breakdown: 3X strength training, 2X cardio, 1X yoga or stretch + abs.
This accommodates an effective and intense 5X workout week. The "6th" day is more of a lighter one w/yoga/stretch, but it really helps the muscles recover. If you are not a fan of yoga/stretch or want a 6X workout week, just add an extra cardio/circuit day of choice to replace it.
*You can chose to replace the Steady State Cardio with another Hiit/Tabata/Intervals if you prefer. I chose steady state because I truly enjoy it, it brings fun into my workout regime, and there is no "dread" factor.
Take care & have fun!
