Hello Cathe (or whoever else would like to let me know if this plan looks good 
)
I have 7 weeks until I return to school in mid august and so far this summer I have been doing really well with an exercise plan and have noticed great improvement in my cardio capacity and especially muscle endurance. Now that I feel fitter and more energetic I would love to try to push myself for the month of July (much like the rotation that was posted for July) and really shock my body into seeing some more results, especially with a little more fat loss and increased muscle definition. I work as a receptionist at our fabulous fitness facility at school and this semester I will be participating in our group fitness instructor training program to teach the group fitness classes offered. Cathe, you would be so impressed with what is offered at school in terms of fitness facilites at my university. Our group fitness studios are state of the art and we have classes such as body sculpt, spinning, yoga, athletic circuit, step, step and intervals, kickboxing, athletic box, hi/low cardio, and every friday a fusion workout made up by the instructor (to name a few) all taught by students! After I accomplish this goal I really hope to work on an ACE certification as my next step. anyway, I have devised my own rotation based on the Cathe videos that I own (mainly the intensity series) for the month of july. and i think my rotation is just that, INTENSE, the first 2 weeks of august before I go back I plan on more of a recovery phase with more rest and lower intensity. Heres my rotation, any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated. THANKS! AND SOOOOO SOOOOO SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW SERIES, I SMELL A GREAT CHRISTMAS PRESENT! haha i already told my Mom! YOU're THE BEST!
