Hi All, I was surprised at how different this week's plyo legs was from last week's. I went into it a bit cocky, thinking that because I did the first week without too much trouble, that this would be the same. But there were a lot of different exercises this week! How about those rock...

Hi Everyone, Just got done with Disc 28. Really felt the burn with the 85% weights! About halfway into the workout, I was feeling a nice warmth in my shoulders & biceps--nothing major, but definitely could tell they were assisting! I feel I worked almost all my upper body. :) I was...

Did this on Saturday. It was a good workout for me. Weights were pretty much on target; the bicep exercises felt a little too heavy. By the time I got to the concentration curls, I was spotting by the 4th rep & failed after the 6th or 7th. On some of the triceps & shoulders, I probably could...

LOVED Plyo legs!!! Ditto--This was AWESOME!!! I loved it!!! I did pretty well up until the first set of half-turns. I pushed pause after that & of course that's when Cathe says, "you're not pausing, are you"? (After that, I didn't pause, although greatly tempted!) I just loved the plyos...

Hi Everyone, I felt really sluggish coming out of the rest week, so I procrastinated & waited until today to do this. But the energy, enthusiasm & motivation returned about 30 seconds after I heard the STS music starting! Something about the opening music just makes you want to start...

As far as the concern of mercury exposure, it was aimed at children, pregnant & lactating women as well as women planning to become pregnant. Outside of those demographics, tuna is relatively safe to eat (again in regard to mercury exposure only). Albacore tends to have more mercury than light...

WELLLLLLL, I work in the medical field. My instinct is to say that if your daughter feels she needs birth control, let her go ahead & get it. There is some reason she wants it---while she may not be sexually active, she may be attracted to someone & thinking that she might decide to have...

Hi All, I am resting today, but jogged for 30 min on Monday & did some interval cardio on Tuesday. My muscles are feeling so-o-o relaxed! It's good to have a few days without any DOMS! ;) Until tomorrow, have a good day!

It was episode 7. :)

Hi Cathe, Thanks for all the form pointers you have given for STS thus far & I'm really loving seeing the HiiT demos as well. I was wondering if you would demonstrate all the various exercises one can do with the Power Tower on one of your upcoming Cathe TV segments? I know in STS we have...

Had a crazy week & am late posting about W4 Legs. It was a toughie! I could really tell the difference with the 80% weights! But I got through all the sets/reps. I'm looking forward to Meso 3 Plyo legs, but I have to say I'll miss the trisets some. My legs have felt so much stronger &...

Hi All, Did this today. Love the drop-sets; the workout went so much quicker! But it was an intense 42 minutes though. Hardest exercise for me were the concentration curls. Had to spot quite a bit for those. Happy to say I made it through all the deadlifts--usually I give out on the 3rd...

Looks WONDERFUL!!!! More info, yet not as "busy". And much easier to navigate! Hope everyone is able to see it soon. Sometimes downloading the latest version/update of your browser may help (if not using it already).

Hi Everyone, Disc 22 seemed refreshingly short after a week of double-waving! :) Definitely was intense though. I felt stronger in general with the chest & was able to complete most of the reps except for the last one or two on the 3rd sheet of incline flys. Push-ups felt good...

Did this on Friday. I think mentally I was better prepared for the double-wave loading, so it didn't seem as hard this time around. But it was challenging, especially the biceps. I had to lower my weights for the second set. For the one-arm rows, I was able to stick with the weight listed...

This one was a goodie; weights were challenging but doable. By the third triset, my muscles were feeling really fatigued, but got through it. I'm still working on the 1 leg sit and stand too. It's funny, my left leg (nondominant leg) is stronger with these than my right leg is. I don't have...

Liann, your question is not at all stupid & your comments had me laughing! Here is a link to a basic explanation & even has a quiz to help you determine your body type. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/becker3.htm

Quote: "My past experiences (when I lost about 15 pounds), I've been able to lose weight when I'm not really thinking about it" Sounds a little like intuitive eating. I've heard some rave about this. It's not calorie counting or "dieting", but more about learning when your body is truly...

Alas, my days of being able to merely increase the frequency & intensity of exercise in order to lose weight have gone! ;) I lost 30 lbs in 2007 & it was by keeping track of what I eat via Weight Watchers in addition to exercising 3-5 days/wk. I have re-gained & lost the same 10 lbs from...

Whoa! Double wave loading = Double trouble! ;) I was just getting a little cocky about STS, then today came! The double wave loading was so challenging. My muscles failed on the last set, couldn't get even to 4, much less 8! But it felt like good weight. Got a great workout for the...
