I had the same worry when I did the 3 month rotation the first time (I just started the 6 month today). I went out and got batteries for my HRM to find out how many calories I was actually burning. With disc 1, I ended up at 313 for the workout. I haven't measured my Heart Rate in a long time...

I did the 3 1/2 month rotation last year (March - June) and it was great. Then, I got very involved with work and then marathon training and wasn't able to be consistent enough to do it again. Today, I started the 6 1/2 month rotation (yay!!). Last time, I used the workout calendar and...

The Troy Barbell Lite Set seen here http://fitness1st.com/Troy-Bars.html is the one Cathe uses.

Ok, thanks, SNM. I am going to play with it and see how I can make it work for me. I didn't have a chance to do all of my 1RM before starting this time, and I'm a weakling now!

I just printed my workout card for Disc 1, and indeed, no exercises were updated with different weights. I'm just wondering what the purpose is of entering the weights for each workout if it doesn't update anything? Does anyone use this feature?

Hi there, I finished the 3 month STS rotation in June and I'm restarting STS this week. I'm using the same 1RMs that I used the first time, but I have a question about the Workout manager. Last time, I didn't enter in the weights I used from each workout. I just did the workouts, and...

I am not familiar with beach body products, but if a personal trainer is saying that STS is expensive, that makes me laugh. Trainers are so expensive!! I was just thinking this morning as I finished Disc 35 that STS was such a bargain!! All of these workouts and all of these results for...

I tried it and when I leave my profile page and go back to workout manager, I'm no longer logged in and I have to log in again. I was able to get in last week (I only go in once a week now and part of that is because of this issue), I added thecathenation.com to my trusted sites. It's...

I am having the same issue. I was using Google Chrome, which is my normal browser, and switched to Internet Explorer in case it was a browser issue. No luck. I will try in Firefox as well. I am a web developer, so I clear my cache on a regular basis. I don't think it is an issue with my PC.

HOLY CRAP! I took that quiz and I'm a mesomorph?! I never would have guessed. Lately, I've been happiest not overthinking and just going with the flow. After 3 straight years of training for either marathons or half marathons, I've discovered I have definition in my legs. WTH? LOL...

WOW, Kathy! You go! I'm also training for a half marathon (May) and a half marathon (September) and then a full marathon (January). I'm including STS in my half marathon training for now, but I will likely go into a more "maintenance mode" before I start training for the full. I am doing...

I used to be able to do them, but need to get back at it. I did find, though, that a lot of times it was almost like I couldn't do them because I was afraid to try. It was crazy what I could do when I really got in my head that I could do it! :)

I'm trying to decide if I should be doing more with the Workout manager than I am. Right now, I obviously put my rotation in the calendar and mark it complete each day. I print out my workout card before the workout and jot down weight used, actual reps and notes. However, I don't go back in...

I'm still in meso 1 but I'm mostly only getting DOMS from lower body, not upper. So, how DO you know if you're working hard enough?

" How likely is your boyfriend to stick with STS? I wouldn't run out and spend a ton of money on extra equipment if he isn't going to stay with the program. We already had most of the equipment so we didn't have to buy much." Honestly, not that sure. But, the good news is that I Have a...
