one bodypar a day w/ cardio rotations

I meant to post this here but put it in OD by mistake!

Can you all post your favorite mish moshes for CTX like rotations that train one bodypart a day along w/ cardio?

MY SIL is having soo much success with this training split, it just works for her ! Problem now is she's bored of ctx and the timesaver dvd and needs ideas and suggestions on what other cathe dvds she can incoporate to keep it fresh! Anyone have any special,effective rotations using this concept? An hour is all she has but if its longer she'll have to modify!


I'm no help to her in this area since I'm horrible at creating rotations and follow fitnessfreaks faithfully-she spoiled me :)

Someone please spoil my SIL :)
TIA

Here's the back stuff added in:

can't believe I omitted back work entirely from the HC Faux CTX Rotation! What's wrong with me? Back is one of my favorite groups to work!

Week 1:

Day 6: Muscle Max Back BEFORE Core/Ab routine

Week 2:

Day 6: GS Back AFTER GS Legs

Week 3:

Day 6 (sorry guys - there goes your rest day)
Cardio warm-up of choice
Muscle Max back
Stretch Max 3

Week 4:

Day 6: GS Back BEFORE Core Max.

And another great workout program, A-Jock. My printer is fully engaged tonight! :) :) :)
 
Wow!


This is unreal and something I'm printing out for myself as a future MUST DO rotation }(

One more favor, Can you provide more cardio recommendations for cathe or other instructors (Ctx style)30 mins or slightly more in duration ? (premixes welcomed too ;-)

Thanks A-Jock, U-Rock!
 
Hmmmmmm . . . cardio recommendations . . . we're treading close to . . .

MISH-MOSH LAND!!!!!

Nosebleed Step Mish-Mosh:

Interval Max (the original) warm-up
HSTA cardio only premix
Body Max power circuit segment, omitting dumbbell / barbell circuits (just hit the chapter-skip feature on your remote to get to the next step-cardio segment)

Nosebleed Hi/Lo Mish-Mosh:
Circuit Max warm-up and hi/lo, omitting first resistance cycle (you have to fast-forward CAREFULLY!);
CTX 10-10-10 hi/lo
Boot Camp cardio only premix

Nosebleed Kickbox Mish-Mosh
10-10-10 warm-up and kickbox
Kick Max blast challenge
Cardio Kicks power drills

I only have one DVD by another exercise producer, Mindy Mylrea's "Cardio Toolbox", which actually ain't all that bad. (Most here know I'm a Cathe Monogamist.) There are step, step-kickbox, and hi/lo segments (I think there's a fourth but I can't remember what it is) that run between 15-17 minutes each, and are actually pretty bouncy. You or your friend could hemstitch something pretty good from that one too.

HTH -
