I will be doing BeachBody Fire & Flow workouts. They just release this series from VIP Early Access. I actually thought they would hold it until January to release it but was glad to see I could do the workouts for my December rotation. I will be starting the month off with a couple of Michelle Dozois workout.  

July 2022 Monthly Rotation The emphasis for July is barre/ballet style workouts.  Looking to lean out during my Round 11 cut.  For cardio, I will be incorporating some oldies but goodies.

  January 2022 Monthly Rotation Sunday - Treadmill Monday - Cathe Strength Tuesday - Cathe IMAX Wednesday- Cathe Strength Thursday - Cathe Step Friday - Cathe Strength Saturday - Stretching The Cathe Strength workouts are from her PHA workouts.  PHA style workout is one of my favorite forms of doing strength training It alternates lower and body exercises.  These workouts move super quick. I am three weeks into this rotation and it has gone well.  Started the month off with left hip discomfort. So each time I would do squats, side lunges, deadlifts - I would feel it. This week I didn't feel much of that discomfort. In addition to this rotation, I am also doing the nightly Controlled stretch series from Autumn's Beachbody Control Freak series.  One of my goals is to increase my flexibility.

October 2021 Monthly Workout Schedule Well I was planning on going to Cathe Road Trip in New Jersey, but Cathe cancelled the trip. So I signed up to run the Bay Bridge in Annapolis MD because it is happening the same weekend that the Cathe RT was scheduled.  I have run in the Bay Bridge race before but I am not sure how I will do.  We will see how it goes as this will be my first race I have entered in over three years. This month I focused on preparing for the 6.2 mile run  and along with doing treadmill workouts, I am also doing FIRM Classic, FIRM BSS workouts and Jessica Smith workouts.

I also did Cathe 2021 workouts, and I got in some old school Amy Bento workouts. Forgot how much I loved Amy Bento Kickbox workouts.  

July 2021 Monthly Rotation All in all. I had a good month of workouts. I only missed two of the schedule workouts and they were July 7 and 9. I was supposed to do the second and third workout from Tracy Anderson Mat workout but I did not do them. The toughest workout by far was Autumn's The FIX Challenge. I was sweaty buckets doing that workout. I also enjoyed Chalene's Johnson Turbofire HiiT workouts as it has been ages since I have done any of those workouts. My Sunday treadmill  workouts have been going well. 2 of the 4 Sundays, I ran for the full three miles. The other 2 Sunday's, I ran for at least 2.5 miles or the 3. This month I did upper body add-on where I worked one muscle group through the work week. Monday - Chest Tuesday - Back Wednesday - Shoulders Thursday - Biceps Friday - Triceps This past Tuesday, I think I went too heavy on back because my back has been tight since then.

February 2018 Monthly Rotation Wow, did January go by like a flash or what?  I had two planned trips and I also ended up getting sick so any planned rotation went by the wayside. Hoping for a more structure February, although I do have one planned trip over President's weekend. The workouts this month will mostly be Cathe.  I will be doing her FitSplit series and my favorite workouts from Strong & Sweaty.  I have added in kickboxing workouts and a couple of Classic FIRM workouts.
