    Metabolic Total Body

    I've been doing some of Cathe's extended stretches after I do a workout, followed by the foam roller move Cathe demonstrates in the trailer video that she posted (I didn't know how to do it before that). Then, throughout the day, I do a couple of standing quad stretches here and there. My knee...

    HRT

    Whoops! See, that's what my brain fog is doing to me. And I'm sure my thinking is soooo much clearer at this time of night or morning or whatever it is, because I can't sleep. Sorry Hazlady and Ashaw. :) I tried melatonin and it worked for awhile, but even after taking a break, it never worked...

    Is it just me?

    Does anybody else check the STS 2.0 description almost daily in the hopes of finding out how long each workout is or to see if they've posted a list of the premixes? Is this normal behavior or am I obsessed? lol

    HRT

    Wow. I thought bleeding for so long that one became anemic was bad, but to end up with tumors caused by the treatment!? That's just scary. I'm sorry that happened to you, and I'm so glad that you're okay now. I was having issues with irritability, but I finally got that under control (well...

    HRT

    Yeah, I hadn't been to a doctor for a couple of decades. Mostly because they can never help me (due to the med allergies). I was desperate, so I went. Boy was it an eye opener. Things have sure changed. It's all about paperwork (not even on paper-it's a tablet) and money. It was a bit dehumanizing.

    HRT

    Ashaw, thanks for posting about natural progesterone cream. My doctor can't give me HRT, because of my drug allergies. I asked her about natural HRT and she just said I'd be allergic to those too. She didn't even mention that anything was available over the counter. I think I'm going to do some...

    Difference between Cathe’s barbell and a standard barbell

    The dog ate it. I can't drop or lose anything - ever. If I do, I find it chewed up and drooly (not sure if that's a real word) in the dog's bed. He's really naughty. I never thought I'd find myself constantly saying, "What on earth are you chewing on? "What's in your mouth?" or "Open up - let me...

    Metabolic Total Body

    Vivbc, thanks for the quad info. I have an old knee injury that I have to "baby" off and on, but it hasn't been bothering me lately. My "good" knee however has been twinging. Nothing too bad, but I've never had any trouble with it, and I was confused. I spent over 16 hours in a vehicle a couple...

    Cathe’s New Door Anchor - Turn Your Door Into a Gym

    Thanks Jenn, very informative. What a clever design. I'm currently doing physical therapy for my back and my therapist has me using a band with a knot tied in it for some of my exercises. I have to shut the band in the knob side (the side that open) of the door. I've went through 3 bands in less...

    Explain the different levels of STS 2.0 exercise variations?

    Cathe sometimes mentions some of that kind of thing during her workouts, but I have a horrible memory. So, I agree that it would be very helpful to have that kind of info (muscle recruitment, level of difficulty, etc.) easily accessible before putting my DVD in the player. Debinmi's idea of...

    Suggestions for mats & rollers?

    Wow, that sounds like a project. We live in a 4-season state, so I'd have to heat and cool it. I don't think I could do 2 containers, because I'd need it to not take up too much of the dog's backyard. But if it was just my workout area (my hubby uses different equipment than I do), that might be...

    Suggestions for mats & rollers?

    Well, I can't change my son's chair out for anything too different, because he has to have a specific height and style for his disabilities. I'm limited on couch length (any longer & it will block the front door if I don't kick the elliptical out of the living room. Our couch is less than a year...

    Suggestions for mats & rollers?

    We have a 3 car garage, but my husband won't clean it! He has it totally trashed out. I don't allow his "hoarding" habits in the house, but I can't seem to get our garage under control. lol

    Suggestions for mats & rollers?

    Actually, we've been looking for awhile now. We have owned 3 homes (not all at once), so we're not looking forward to moving. Every time we've moved, we've claimed it was our last time. Because of my son's special needs, we can't have homes with real open floor plans, so older homes work better...

    Suggestions for mats & rollers?

    All good ideas, but couch and furniture all sit too close to the floor (Roomba doesn't even fit under it), no wall space, and the one closet in the whole house is upstairs and stuffed with 3 people's clothes. Big house, but not the best design. We already have a decorative trunk that doubles (or...

    STS Bars?

    Sorry you have to wait on your bars, but I'm glad you're getting your crown replaced. I don't have any, but my husband does. One fell out one time and he was really having trouble eating without it.

    Video Clip Of Cathe's STS 2.0 Upper Body Foam Rolling Recovery Workout

    Hey, Where's Al? How come he doesn't get to foam roll? Poor Al. This looks like a wonderful recovery workout. Now I can learn how to do more than just rolling my back up and down on a roller. My chiropractor has me do that. He also gave me a roller that kills my back! I got Cathe's and now I see...
