Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone who is familiar with P90X knew of a good Cathe rotation that would be a similar format and would offer similar results? Or even if someone could just give me more info on P90X I could try to make up the rotation on my own. Thanks!!

Thanks Lisa! Only problem with that rotation is that I don't have Cathe's 4 day split. Anyone else seen anything similar on here? Thanks!!

Thanks Kristine for putting this together - it looks great. I was just watching the P90X informercial and thought I would love to give it a try but don't have the money for it right now.

One question, for the life of me, I don't know what HE High/Low Intervals is. I've rattled my brain (easy to do these days) and cannot figure it out!!
 
THANK YOU for the post!!! Am also very interested in P90X, as a poor grad student can't come up w/ the money right now and already have SEVERAL of the workouts listed in your rotation, so you just saved me $ *and* kept me from feeling sorry for myself that I couldn't hop on the P90X bandwagon! :D
 
Hi there I am new here and was not sure what CM stood for.
I just started doing Cathe 2 months ago so the DVD accumulation is slow but steady. Been a firmie for 1 year lost 40 lbs but plateaued for most of 2008. Cathe kicks it up a notch if you know what i mean :)
