I tried the two times through approach for Meso 1 my first time using STS. I think I did it just to build my confidence - I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to progress at the same pace as the program. But in the end I didn't have the patience to do that and once I tried it as written I...

These are definitely some of my favs! They are serious stuff. Tough, results based workouts are what I enjoy most - they give you a real sense of accomplishment. I love the variety and knowing that whichever of these I choose it is time well spent. That's how I feel! I did Circuit Blast a...

I tried to do each STS disk twice per week and found it was too much. I only did it for a few weeks - definitely couldn't maintain it for 3 months. Forearms were sore from holding those heavy weights 6 days per week, and it just became too much work and not enough FUN. Also, deadlifts pop up in...

Everyone looks like they are having so much FUN! Can't wait to have fun along with you. Thanks for what looks to be an awesome series. :):D:cool:

Wow, super creative moves!

Good for you! Good luck with STS once you get started with it, annetarsia.

Couldn't agree more. LOVE the weight programs Cathe designs. Always motivating, always technically sound. She has so many with high reps and light to moderate weights. These are great, but another with heavier weights would be a super addition.

This rotation has it all - upper body, lower body, total body, metabolic, steady state and hiit. Nice! I think I will give this one a try. :)

I can really relate to your post, annetarsia! Thanks for sharing. I am close in age to you and also work out 5-6 days per week, mostly Cathe (which I have done for many many years) but also some running and hiking, and I teach 2-3 group fitness classes per week. I am similar in height and weight...

Cycling the beautiful Confederation Trail on Prince Edward Island (Canada)...conditioning with Cathe makes almost anything possible - mentally & physically!

Happy Birthday Cathe. You are getting older and WISER! Something to celebrate! :) Thanks for your leadership and inspriation. Catheletes don't fear getting older when we learn from you being healthy and fit is all that matters, no matter our age.

I totally agree with Debinmi that weight loss is mainly about food choices. And I agree that RWH may be a bit better than XTrain if you are looking for fat loss because of the reasons she gave. But, I would say the difference between the results you would get from XTrain vs those from RWH...

Love all 3 mesos but Meso 2 is my fav as well.

According to the Workout Manager IMAX 4 burns 346 calories.

Today I did All Out Low Impact as well. :) I just have 3 workouts left in the 90 day rotation! :p Going to my cottage on Prince Edward Island tomorrow so won't be able to officially finish the rotation for a couple of weeks but I packed the Lite series and some dumbbells and bands. Will be...

Gee Nicki you are AMAZING to fit in both Gym Style and XTrain along with your usual abs and stretching. And thanks so much for mentioning Gym Style. I think once I am finished XTrain I will do Gym Style along with some running and hiit workouts for cardio. The classes I teach are mostly...

Congrats Debinmi!!!:D Awesome work and awesome results!! Way to go! You certainly stayed the course and reaped the benefits you worked for. Good luck with your "Hot & Sweaty summer rotation". Is that a rotation you have put together or is it in the Workout Manager? It sounds like a perfect...

I finished STS 3.5 month rotation this spring and then went into the XTrain 90 day rotation. I am just finishing up week 8 today. I find this to be the perfect follow-up! Love it! Seamlessly keeping the results coming. XTrain is structured and progressive and so you continue to build both...
