    If you own a Boxer dog..??

    Another Boxer mom here. Quick question for you all: Our Boxer suffers horribly with separation anxiety. We've always toyed with the idea of getting him a doggie friend. Do you think this would help him? He's six, so I think he's still young enough to adjust to a puppy since he still acts...

    pull-ups/chin-ups...help!

    I actually did this yesterday. I used my high step and just placed it where I felt like it could do some good. The only problem is, when I'm in true "dangle" mode, that bar seems like it's a mile away. Is it possible to end up with monkey arms from doing pull-ups???:eek:

    pull-ups/chin-ups...help!

    Thanks, everyone, for the encouraging words! I was very humbled by my experience...it's amazing to think you're strong, only to find out you still have a ways to go! Hey Michele - we "one-L" Micheles have to stick together! I'm always surprised to see someone else with "my name" since I...

    pull-ups/chin-ups...help!

    My DH just got a door-mounted pull-up bar from Beachbody (which is very nice, if anyone's interested) and I was shocked to discover that I could not do one. I can hang (literally) for a while, but there's not much (read, nada) upward motion happening. I was doing STS today, M1 Disc 5, with...

    has anyone "finished" STS yet?

    Wow, Melclear! Congratulations!:D You must be so proud of your accomplishments! Michele ETA: Did you use the squat rack or plyo legs, or a combo of both?

    3 vs 6 month rotation for STS

    I just wanted to say "ditto" to all the comments that Gayle made. I'm doing the 6-month rotation, as well, and am on the 2nd round of week 2 of Meso 1, and LOVING it! I know somewhere Cathe did say that she originally intended for STS to be a six-month rotation but realized that many people...

    Anyone using STS 4 days a week?

    I give you credit for trying!!!:eek::eek: I'm already starting to worry about Meso 2, and I still have a few weeks of Meso 1 to get through!

    Anyone using STS 4 days a week?

    I've been doing the weights and cardio on separate days. I don't think I could do them together without having some major fatigue issues! For my cardio, I've been keeping it under 45 minutes and then doing an ab segment and a long stretch. I just wish my hips would get up to speed. I...

    Anyone using STS 4 days a week?

    My biggest fatigue issue with STS are my hip flexors being really achy...not to the point of pain, but they're really talking to me! Anyone have this? I actually skipped my cardio/abs yesterday to give them a little break, and will probably take today off, too, just to get them ready for...

    Anyone using STS 4 days a week?

    Hi Lori! Just wanted to tell you that your concept is intriguing to me. I'm also doing the 6-month rotation, and while I enjoy doing each workout twice, I can also see where speeding the whole process up would be appealing! Michele

    What is your next rotation going to be after STS?

    Hi Regina! Yours is the first post I've read where someone is finishing STS...just curious what it feels like to be done and what results you've seen. Michele

    3 month versus 6 months STS

    I agree with Lori. I'm loving that I have the chance to get the "perfect" weight the second go-round!

    NYC hotel recommendation

    Jacque - I actually saw the Lion King a few years ago and loved it, and I know my kids will be amazed. I happened to come across a promo that Disney is offering for their Broadway show - buy one ticket, get the second for $15 - and could not pass it up! If anyone is interested, go to...

    NYC hotel recommendation

    My DH and I are taking my kids to see the Lion King and I'd like to stay overnight since it's an 8:00 show on a Friday night. Any good hotels nearby, mid range (under $300)? My kids have never been into the city and I'm really excited to go!!! TIA! Michele
