Also the DVD of classic workouts: Step Heat, Step Jam, and Step Max, is similar. Mega Step Blast, if you can find it, also is very similar (I found this one if my local library). I actually did the wedding video the other day. I even did the strength portion and found the leg lifts with 5 lb...

This is my second time through STS and I love it! I really felt stronger and was amazed at the weights I could lift by the end. My question is . . . after Meso 1 and 2, I almost always felt DOMs or at least some soreness after the workouts. I really felt worked out! But after Meso 3, even...

I'm humbled! The first time I tried this, I lasted about 20 minutes, then had to break for air. Today, I made it 32 minutes. I find some of the moves quite intense, and my heart rate gets way up there. This is a wonderful workout. I believe that in 32 minutes I was sweating more than I do...

Thanks, everyone! I feel better knowing it's not just me who has had this pain. And I love the term "mommy back." :-) Have a great day!

I was wondering if anyone else has the type of pain I'm experiencing. It's deep in my hips/lower back, especially on one side. I feel it when I'm sitting and breastfeeding the baby (never thought I would have a sitting injury!). I also feel it when I'm standing and swaying with my baby in my...

Ha Ha. :-) I think eventually, but I want to give myself at least until the summer to try this all again. Have a great day!

Bethany, I'm so sorry to hear this. We're here for all the "virtual" support we can provide!

Hi Susan! I don't want to rub it in to anyone, but Morgan has been sleeping about 9 hours a night since she was 10 weeks old. :-) In fact, I wake up before her desperate to feed her and sometimes either pump just a little waiting for her or wake her up gently. After being awake about an hour...

Hi ladies, Just finished Circuit Blast. I started it yesterday afternoon. Thought I could get in a quick and relatively easy workout while the baby napped. I made it through two cycles and had to stop. It was tough for me! This morning, I tackled it again and finished. I can't believe a...

Thanks. I'll look into the baby whisperer. Last night, I tried something new based on Mattea's warm crib tip. About 45 minutes before her bedtime, I put an adult heating blanket turned on high over her crib mattress. I removed it after our bedtime routine and rocking (actually my baby prefers...

Good morning, everyone! Boy, you all are an inspiration! Baby wakes, eats, then goes back to sleep. :-) This is my time to get in a quick workout. 40/20 this morning and one ab circuit (it was weights and plates; I admit I cheated on the plates section. yowser!). Next week it's back to work...

Thanks everyone. I don't want her to cry at night. I'm just wondering if I've done something wrong because she wakes up and cries the minute she hits the crib. Last night, we went through four rounds of this before she finally fell asleep. Still, that's an improvement. Have a great day...

#1 Give yourself a break in the first trimester. You are growing a little person inside. You will be tired! If your exercise schedule slows down, don't worry; your energy will return in the second trimester. #2 Marching in place worked better for me than jumping or any other high-impact moves...

Hi Christine. Thanks so much! Last night, I broke down and picked her up out of the crib after she cried for about 15 minutes. I guess I can always take comfort in the fact that she wants me to hold her. I'll be able to get a good night's sleep eventually! Happy new year wishes to you and John...

Hi everyone, Wow. I'm so proud of you all for finding time to workout. I try to get at least a 45 minute workout in in the morning after baby eats first and goes back to sleep. Other than that, I'm having a hard time finding an hour block plus 15 minutes to shower. Need to talk to hubby about...

Hi ladies, My baby is about 3.5 months old, and I'm having trouble getting her to bed in the evenings. We have a routine--no napping after 6 pm, bath, diaper/clothes change, read, feed, rock, into crib. I swear she is asleep in my arms when I put her in the crib, but the moment I lower her...

Happy new year, everyone! I just did plyo legs 1 (meso 3) for the first time this morning. I was speechless for a while afterwards (partly because I was still catching my breath!). This was a really tough cardio workout for me, along the lines of 30/30 but longer! Hats off to Cathe and crew...

Hi everyone and happy holidays. It almost feels like I'm back to the days of pregnancy seeing all of your supportive names and stories. As usual I did not take notes, so will probably miss a few personals. Christine, you are so strong and if you can laugh at not sleeping, go for it...

Christine, I was just thinking of you and was going to look you up on Facebook. Glad you have found some time to exercise as a way to regroup. Our prayers and well wishes are with you and little John. Thanks for sharing information. And to everyone, hope you have a very happy holiday and give...

Hi everyone, I just finished Cardio Core Circuit. Wow! I've never done anything like it. It was a great morning routine, and I was able to really put my all into most of the cardio. (However, I had some trouble with the cardio that incorporated a pushup.) But the moves that really stood out...
