rotation including gym workouts??

[needsmotivation]

Does anyone have a rotation that incorporates both gym (machines) and cathe videos??

I love Cathe' but unfortunatley I only have the CTX videos (and can't afford to buy more right now). But I do have a memebership at the local gym, yoga videos, two fitprime videos, and I like to hike.

If you have one, please share....sets, reps, weight used
etc.

I'm just plain bored with what I'm doing
Thanks

Hi Lisa,

I don't have a specific rotation worked out but here are some suggestions:

1. Use CTX as designed. One body part per day with or without the CTX cardio (you could hike, use cardio machines or take a cardio class).

2. Do an upper/lower body split. Use yoga in between for stretch and relaxation (I don't know what kind of yoga you do). Choose cardio of choice 3 or 4 times a week. Do a total body fitprime once a week (again I don't know what kind of Fitprimes you have).

3. I don't know how to post a link (maybe you or some helpful person can look this up and post a link) but in the Cathe forum page 175 is a post titled- help with gym weight workout by SusanR on Aug 30 '01. Cathe's answer was a rotation using gym machines. You could add cardio machine work or do CTX cardio at your convenience.

4. Look over the thread titled Index for Cathe rotations (I don't know if that is the exact name but close enough) this can give you some ideas and then switch out for tapes that you have.

5. Rotate home videos, gym, and outdoor exercise as your schedule permits. Have fun so that you stay motivated. Think about what your goals are and work with that type of rotation. Eventually, you will find some good bargains and can add to your collections but there are ways to refresh and recycle what you have. I'm sure someone else may have other ideas for you.

Goodluck, Oh and did I say have fun

I've used videos for cardio only, and done a three or four day split at the gym - such as back/tris, chest/bis (unorthodox, but who cares?), shoulders/abs, legs OR chest/back, arms (including shoulders), legs OR legs/back, chest/shoulders, bis/tris - whatever works. I try to vary the exercises and also vary the weight selections, going heavy a few weeks, then light a few weeks, and so on. If you don't have a weight lifting book, you might borrow one from the library (or look for one on the cheap on eBay or amazon or something) to get some exercise and routine ideas. Have fun with it! Also, don't be afraid of the free weight section of the gym (assuming you have one). The testosterone cloud DOES thin, once you're in there.
