Can you share what workouts of Cathe's meet the "metabolic" criteria? Is this routine overworking the body parts or do you use light weight for the metabolic workouts? This sounds great and want to possible give it a try!

On my Metabolic days I don't go as heavy at all. I save my heavy days for the total body days. However, on the Metabolic days, I don't just use 3 pounders either, which would be no challenge for me. I just give myself a nice little challenge of 5-12 pounders, depending on how I am feeling.
Here are some workouts that I consider Metabolic:
Ice Metabolic Total Body
Afterburn
CrossFire (a favorite)
To the Max
Ice Low Impact Sweat
RWH Hiit Circuit Upper Body
X10
Flex train
Supercuts
Athletic Training
Cardio Supersets
Also, I would like to add the Michelle Dozois' Cardio Strength Workouts are really great Metabolic challenges and perfect for the rotation I mentioned above.
Generally, these are workouts that incorporate weights and cardio somewhat simultaneously. Not just cardio, not just weights. Also not a circuit variety wherein you do cardio, then halt the cardio to do the weight work and vice-versa, but working the two in conjunction throughout the workout.

Thanks so much! I may give this a try. I forgot about Michelle's Cardio Strength workouts (which I love)......

Depends on what you want out of a lower body workout. I've always liked Butts and Guts. It's not metabolic, but it could be, depending on how you work it, and it works every muscle.
