    ICE 2...Who's In?

    I would love to see a step cool down like the one in Step Fit, so much fun. The pre-mixes with abs mixed in, such as HIIT Circuit Upper Body and Chiseled Upper Body, are my absolute favorites. ICE is definitely my go to workout series lately, so I am so excited. Every year I can't wait to find...

    Fit Tower Pre-Sale Ends April 11th

    I have always ordered Cathe's new DVDs but don't think I will be able to this time. I am surprised such an expensive piece of equipment like the fit tower would be required. Very disappointing. Maybe next time.

    STS CHECK IN DISC 21

    Another goodie! I have to admit when I saw my weights listed for this workout, I was a bit worried, but I made it through really only having to drop down in weight on the barbell rows and the amount of reps for the deadlifts. I used a lat pulldown machine with 3 different grips instead of the...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 20

    Loved this workout! For the first time all of my weights listed were spot on. I could not hold onto the weights during the 45 degree lunges because my forearms were so fatigued but thankfully I had the weighted vest to use so I could still finish all the sets with the proper weight. The one...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 19

    I did this workout yesterday so I could take advantage of using a spotter. I must say the chest, shoulder, and tricep work in this mesocycle has become my favorite. Normally I look forward to the leg workouts because that is my strongest muscle group but the progress I have made in the upper...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 16

    Loved, loved, loved this workout! I felt so strong today. Luckily, my hubby was getting ready for work at the same time I was doing chest work so he was there to hand me the weights which meant I could go heavier than normal. I was still feeling great through the shoulder work. I had to...

    STS DISC CHECKI N DISC 15

    This workout was the toughest yet for me. My forearms were on fire by the time deadlifts came around. I had to lower my weights for all of the bicep work just so my hands could hold the weights! But, like Cathe said in the last workout, my forearms are just going to have to get acclimated to...

    Weighted vest questions

    Hi rose2boys, I just did disk 14 legs today and found the weighted vest was very helpful when I needed a break for my forearms. The exercises I used the vest for were the calf raises and the narrow squats. When the last tri-set came around my forearms were screaming so being able...

    STS CHECK IN DISC #13

    I loved this workout! On some of the exercises I had to drop down in weight but on others (to my surprise) I actually increased my weight. All I can say is Thank you Cathe! I am loving my sts experience!

    suggestions for cardio class for 6th graders

    Thank you all for your ideas. I was originally thinking of doing a high impact move and then a recovery move but I love the bootcamp idea! I won't have access to any equipment but will probably do a cardio move and then a few strength moves like push-ups, lunges and crunches and keep repeating...

    suggestions for cardio class for 6th graders

    Hi, I was just wondering if anyone who teaches fitness classes has any ideas for teaching elementary school kids. I have never taught this kind of class before and I am a little nervous. Any input would be appreciated.

    Oven Fried Chicken

    delicious! I made this recipe last night. I did substitute wheat flour and wheat germ for the crackers and cereal only because that is what I had on hand but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. Thank you for the recipe it is a keeper and am looking forward to making this again as written.
