Please /substitutes / for Cathes PS & SH May rotation?

Cathlete
I want to do Cathe's May rotation but I don't have the PS or SH series. I have the Blast, Intensity and Gym Styles series.
I would love advice on how to substute what I already have for those workouts. The Gym styles seem to be the closest but those are already in Mays rotation and I don't want to over do it by only using them for the whole month.
I have preordered the up and coming Cathe series and my husband would divorce me if I bought more DVD's.
Thanks, Colleen:(

This will be a little different, but just remember to go as heavy as you can and to slow down your rep counts. You may not be able to complete all the reps at the same speed as Cathe, but this will give you great focus on strength over endurance.
HTH,
Mattea
 
You're welcome Colleen--although you may not be thanking me once you actually layer PUB and MM together. I did some of this in my rotation this past month and it's a burner for sure!
