Cathe's June Rotation - week 2 - Wednesday- check in
- Thread starter dorothyrd
- Start date
Hi everyone!
I had to change things up today, because I accidently left my step in the guest bedroom where my mom was sleeping. I had my weights out, just not my step, so I did not have a platform for bench press (chest work). So I did PS shoulders, MIS shoulders, MIS abs (skipped these yesterday), and a 30 minute walk/run. Now I will do chest work later in the week. Looking forward to taking tomorrow off.
It's storming here today, too! Hope everyone has a good day! Sandra

Please excuse the interuption here, but I've been reading your check-ins with interest. I've been thinking of starting the June rotation. (I've sort of been doing my own thing for the last two weeks) and I was wondering what your overall impression is of this rotation. I'm hesitant because I really prefer to split up weight and cardio days and I enjoy doing long cardios. Also there doesn't seem to be much intensity series in this rotation.
Do you think it would be possible to do two body parts a day and then do a cardio day in between? or would this compromise the strength gains? Can you measure any strength gains yet? Also do you find yourself exhausted or energized? I would appreciate any thoughts any of you have...Thanks, joy

Hi Stargazer. This rotation has me energized. After the slow and heavy week, I feel stronger doing the PS and MIS this week. This week is 2 segments of one body part a day. So maybe you could put in PUB for the PS or MIS parts if you want to include the intensities. I'm sure you could do 2 body parts a day if you wanted. I am really enjoying the weights before cardio and doing them on the same day. It's just different and a great change.
Join us and see how you feel. We will be glad to have you be tortured with us.}(
Today I did the Wednesday workout. I also included the abs from Power Curcuit. I am definitly ready for a day off. But I am going away this weekend, so I might workout tomorrow. I just need to figure out how to cram Fri, Sat, and Sun into one day!

Hi Joy,
It's hard for me to say how much I have gotten out of this rotation so far, because I changed so many factors. I switched to exercising in the morning instead of evening because I can get my daughter to summer camp later, and I have never done a rotation with weights first then cardio and only one body part per day.
So far, I think that I have been really energized. I usually do longer cardios also, but I am finding that the cardio seems sufficient because I am tired from the weights. Sometimes on the weekends when I have more time, I am doing longer cardio. I would say that I have experienced some strength gains, and for whatever reason, I am so much more sore than usual. Don't know what that's going to mean in the long run, but I am really enjoying this rotation insofaras strength gains and energy levels. Take care, Sandra

I just completed week one today. I did slow and heavy triceps, abs from this tape, and then did the step only portion of body max for cardio. I had the time to throw in cardio today and decided to just do PS legs/abs only tomorrow. I'm not sure if I can do both this leg tape and a cardio together. I just think my old legs would buckle under me if I tried to jump around after toruturing them with PS legs. Anyway, I felt tired during the entire workout. I think my problem was that I needed to eat something small prior to working out this morning. Lorrayne
I have really enjoyed this roatation ! I really feel stronger just doing one body part, and doing the weights before cardo seems to do me better. I have always been a step junkie !! I LOVE STEP ! and with doing the weights first the step seems harder.
I too have ejoyed doing this with everyone. I think about it alot when I am doing my workout that other Cathe fans are doing this too !
REST day tomorrow
