I'm well aware I'll never have a thin, lean dancer's body. Just not the way I'm built, so I work with what I have - short, stocky, strong. So we'll see what this little experiment does. I have to admit I'm really feeling different soreness this week so far. But I feel GOOD - not tired or drained. I'll keep reporting. I took measurements so we'll see what happens.

For me, I notice when I do more bodyweight focused workouts that I get better aesthetic results. I also show muscle definition and, dare I say, bulk! I look stronger, like I work out. Push ups, planks, pull-ups, Plyo, all have nice results for me. However, I love to lift heavier weights because they make me feel like the baddest chick . Not a bad feeling to have when I've had so many injuries. So I make sure to do both -- one for aesthetics, one for the ego, both for strength.

Just a quick update. I'm LOVING more bodyweight workouts. Mostly Insanity and Mark Lauren workouts. My planned rotation looks like this:
Mon: Weighted workout (sometimes heavy weight low rep, sometimes lower weight high rep) Tues: Cardio Wed: Cardio Thurs: Bodyweight Fri: Bodyweight With Insanity I'm still getting some bodyweight moves even though I'm considering them cardio because they make my heart pop outta my chest. Started doing a lot of Mark Lauren workouts and I love them! Slow and precise and I've felt every one. Not killer DOMS but I feel my whole body has been worked. Also mixed in some David Jack workouts (Men's Health Spartacus). I'm liking the change. This week I lost 2 lbs but I've also gotten very strict with my eating. If you want to know what I'm doing, feel free to message me since we can't talk about diet. ;-) I'll keep going through August for sure. Then we'll see what September (and exercise ADD) brings. TGIF ETA: I also measured myself on Monday which I hadn't done in a long time. Stay tuned...

I agree with Cowgirl! And I find bodyweight workouts more challenging, especially the upper body.
KateTT, your rotation looks great, nice to mix both styles of training, and congrats on your results so far, please keep us updated!

Thanks for posting your rotation. I don’t have any Mark Lauren, but am very intrigued after looking at some reviews and YouTube videos. Today I did Horizontal Conditioning 101 Jan Vol 1. It may only be 30 minutes and no weights, but my legs and core were wobbly by the time I was done! Thanks for the inspiration!
