Hi! There are plenty of people here that can speak on STS - I have purchased the set; but, plan on using it in the Fall. I am just not ready for it yet. I know that the STS program is adaptable for wherever you are at in terms of weight requirements, etc. What I can speak to is "weight...

Hey! Just updated for Week 2. Tried High Step Circuit and thought it was a fun program! Really not an intense cardio workout; but, you end with a feeling of satisfaction that you had a good workout. Great for beginner - intermediate. I have decided to try Low Impact Circuit as Cathe...

Loved Kick, Punch, Crunch - did a Premix this morning and could have gone longer - would recommend the total program of 68 minutes as Cathe has stated - there is an Ab routine at end - so, you are not doing full cardio for 68 minutes. Loved it today and nice deviation from step. Thanks...

Linda, Thanks for the update - I will post Week 2 and possibly Week 3 on Saturday. I first have to see how Timesaver - Kick, Punch, Crunch goes as well as High Step Circuit. Thanks again. BTW - the Pyramid Upper and Lower Premixes are quite fun - my muscles are tired at the end - but, it...

Linda, Your post was absolute perfect timing :D! I have decided for Week 2 to take away Basic since I have found it too easy. So, between your notes and Stacy's - I should be able to come up something fun! :cool: Thanks for taking the time to help me! Donna

I have updated Week 1 from my workout learnings this morning (see post #1) - Stacy's recommendation for PreMix "hit the spot" - thanks! Still trying to figure out to lift my "fanny" as high as they do on the stability ball - I am sure I looked humorous :eek: Loved the combination of a step...

I know all of us are busy with our lives - so, for you to take the time out of your day to help me means alot. Thanks! Blessings, Donna

Stacy, #2 This is my question - I think I have figured it out - is it better in the transition from Beginner to Intermediate to do more circuit programs versus actual solo "stength" days? Does that make sense? Donna

Stacy, Would you replace Pyramid with Cardio& Weights? Or, do cardio and weights later? Thanks!

Linda, "looking back at you" ;) so I'd just have learn how or me the most limiting part is still cardio, it was when I started, and still is now. I stretch in the morning & evening almost every day to improve my range of motion (another limiting factor, oh there's so many, when you're over...

Thanks Stacy :D I have reviewed the Pyramids and was concerned about that. I had a feeling I would need to reorient myself on Tue/Thur - I will look at the premixes as well! Thanks again for the feedback! Donna

NOTE: This thread is being updated each week from learnings as we progress from Beginner to Intermediate Rotation! Good Monday Morning! After reviewing the intermediate week 1 from Cathe's rotation, I figured that if I tried to do that - I would end up frustrated and fatigued. I started...

Pam - the spreadsheet has been sent to you. "Rapidbreath" - thank you for the advice around watching the "types" of food that I eat - that will be a neat experiment. Thanks again.

Melissa - Thanks for the encouragement. I agree about muscle - I have lost 1.76% in body fat. From the calculations - it looks like around 5 pounds of fat lost - and, 4 pounds of muscle gained. I still believe that I can adjust my food intake - so, this will be fun! Pam - WOW - the fitness...

Thanks - I am planning on creating a food journal for this next phase. So, I will quickly find out where the improvements can be made. I came from a Weight Watchers format - so calorie counting will be a change from the "point system." But, it should be fun. 1500 range seems appropriate -...

Good Morning! I have just completed the Beginner Rotation - moving into a transition rotation of Beginner/Intermediate. Bottom line - I FEEL so much stronger and my clothes fit better - so, for me - success has begun! :D But - I do want to ask some of you who have been working out for...

Thank you for the advice on High Step Circuit - I will look at that ASAP!

Thanks! This rotation looks really good and is similar to how I went about the Beginner Rotation with those DVDs. I followed, for the most part, Cathe's Beginner Rotation (somewhere on the forum) - and, have had great results in terms of strength, inches, etc. Not so much on weight - but, it...
