Day 1 of the New Rotation

I had planned to start my new rotation yesterday, but that fell through when I got pounded by a migraine just as I prepared to begin working out. I tried to do some step aerobics, but only got through the warmup and part of the first combo when I had to stop and go lie down in a dark room.

I’ve recovered well, so today I started my new fat loss rotation with a bang. I did Cathe Friedrich’s High Step Training and it was tough. I burned over 600 calories in just an hour (or a little more than an hour since I had to take a few breaks to pant and drink water).

Here’s this week’s rotation:

• Monday: Weight & Cardio Circuit (Cathe Friedrich’s High Step Training)
• Tuesday: Step Aerobics (did first little bit of Amy Bento’s Advanced Step Challenge + Cathe’s Rhythmic Step)--twisted ankle!
• Wednesday: Weight & Cardio Circuit, Core (Cathe’s Low Impact Circuit)
• Thursday: Kickboxing & Hi/Lo, Stretch (Tracey Staehle’s Cardio Sweatfest, Amy’s Abs & Stretch--1 stretch section)
• Friday: Weights & Cardio (Cathe’s Body Max 2)
• Saturday: Step Aerobics, Stretch (Kari Anderson’s Push + Cathe’s Total Body Stretching--1 segment
• Sunday: Stretch, Rest (Ellen Barrett’s Crunch: Super Slimdown)

The full 4-week rotation is listed on my Workout Rotation Ideas document (available for download on the list here).
