Look Great in 8 - 2021 Edition! - Page 2

AsSweetAsSugar · 08-26-21, 10:12 AM

T2B, I also checked Cathe'users guide

Thanks for the workout suggestions! What about Cathe's High Reps DVD? Maybe, that could be another option. I still have 1 1/2 weeks with my current rotation, have fun! I will be checking what you will be doing

Maybe, we could send Cathe the Look Great in 8 rotation as a suggestion for a future project! I have no idea if M&F Hers is still on business.

Adawn, thank you so much, I will check them out when I get on the computer. I can't see the info on the tablet. I think it will be very helpful!

AsSweetAsSugar - I really enjoyed LGI8. I think I actually did it for 12 weeks!

I hope everyone who gives the template a try has fun!

Thanks for starting this ASAS! I may start this next week. Might be what I need to get my motivation back.

I need to figure out what to use for Circuit workouts for starters.

AsSweetasSugar another VFer, Lannette, has a website with Cathe's MET levels and the workouts classified.

This might help you as you construct your rotation. I found it extremely helpful

Wow, what a great resource! I have many of Cathe's older workouts that are listed. Thanks Lannette for making it and thanks FoLV for posting the link!

Cher, you're welcome

I read somewhere that some people used the Burn phase of CLX for the circuit week and Push phase for the heavy week. I think Cathe's PHA would do the trick too. I will check out what you come with!

I don't even remember what workouts I specifically used. I went through all of my workouts and pulled the ones I wanted to use in the first half of rotation and piled them in the categories identified in the program. The circuit workouts were the hardest for me to come up with and I looked up the definition and had 2-3 workouts that fit the definition. I reviewed the piles at the beginning of the second half of the rotation.

As I said above, I focused more on the spirit and generalities of the program: long cardio; shorter, more intense cardio; the different types of strength workouts; etc. I didn't sweat whether every DVD was exactly right by the definition and more whether I was doing different types of strength work (heavy/low rep, light/high rep, etc.). I think it was the variety that produced such good results for me and that kept me engaged through both times I did it.

Awesome Laura, thanks for reporting back! I haven't plan anything yet, since I have been a bit tired since school started.

Adawn, I just checked in a computer finally, wow great info, thanks again for adding the link!
