Okay...build me a rotation guys...

[Reese777]

Hello Everyone,

I have the following Cathe workouts:

Bootcamp/Muscle Endurance
Butts and Gutts
Gym Style Legs
Chest and Triceps
Back Shlds Biceps
High Step Circuit
Pyramid U/L
Super Sets/Push Pull
Slow and Heavy
Drill Max
Core Max
Muscle Max

I also have a treadmill and an exercise bike. Would someone toss some rotations my way? I'd welcome any that I receive. My weakest area (in my opinion) is chest. I used to be able to beat out the pushups because I was in the Army, but now I can't do one on my feet...I have to go to knees! x(

Thanks in advance!

Reese - Check out these rotations. There are a ton to choose from, just substitute work on your treadmill and/or exercise bike for some of the step routines that may be in there that you do not have.

You have a lot of the main workouts so should be able to find a rotation that incorporates most of them. Or you can make your own by deciding what you want to do each day and then sub in a routine that fits. Example:

Monday - Lower Body
Tuesday - Cardio
Wednesday - Upper Body
Thursday - Cardio
Friday - Rest
Saturday - Total Body

Good luck! I am currently doing the "Timesaver" rotation - July 07

Yeah...I get soooo confused when I do the step routines! I dont know if anyone else has that trouble, but that's why I've not bought any yet....there's a couple of teeny tiny combos in the warm up of drill max and I just do jumping jacks or something similar during that time because I get all jumbled up!!!x(

Reese - Basic Step followed by Low Impact Step are great introductions to Cathe's step moves. Those give you a good foundation of the moves and she breaks everything down much more than she does in later videos.

Did you have any trouble though? I think my biggest fear is that I'll sprain my ankle or something! I have to admit I'm VERY intimidated. Running probably has similar risks, but it's just plodding one foot in front of the other and occasionally hopping over something! It's not fancy foot work like in the step videos, but I will say, several of her videos look like they'd burn more calories than plain running....I will look into the videos you've mentioned though. Thanks for the tip!

PS. I checked out your pics - do you raise the snakes and sell them? I thought the ones that wouldn't come out of their eggs were funny! HAHA

Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this - Im going to keep any responses I get in one folder and work thru each of them!
