What is light cardio? I've been reading this thread carefully, since I am coming up on my recovery week with STS. Now I'm wondering, what do you consider "light" cardio? So many of Cathe's DVD's are tough, that it's hard to call most of them "light". Can anyone give some suggestions of what...

Hi Cathe - Can you please show us a close-up of what our form should be when using the tubing as a substitute for pull-ups? Should our hands be level with our shoulders? Or should our elbows be at shoulder level with our arms up like goal-posts? And should we be changing our hand position...

Me too! I am on M1, disk 8 (but I'm doing the first month compressed into 3.5 weeks), and have started to feel ravenous. My strategy has been to go heavy on super nutrient-rich foods, like protein (lots of tofu, turkey, etc) and good carbs (brown rice, bulgur and barley instead of pasta or...

Champion also sells some great bras. They list the intensity level that each bra can handle, so just make sure you get one for High Intensity. And you buy them by bra size, not just S, M, L etc, so I find that they fit really well. I don't budge a bit, even while running or doing an IMAX video.

Thanks Wendy -- This rotation looks great! I hadn't even thought of this. I'm going to try it, and see if my body can handle that much weight-training without more cardio/days off.

I just received STS and really want to start, but my travel schedule is working against me (I won't have access to weights while I'm away). I'll be home for 3 weeks, then gone for 1 week, then home for 3, and gone for 1. If I start STS now, should I do the first 3 weeks of cycle 1, take my...

My DH experienced exactly the same thing. Our chiro told him it was from bad posture throughout the day, and not directly related to the mattress or sleep position. He recommended HD practice excellent posture at all times, using lots of pillows and back support while sitting, and to take...

Circuit Max is in my rotation for this week, and I'm trying to plan my ab workouts. I haven't done this one in so long that I can't remember. Thanks! Mel

Hi Debbie - I am on the 4th week of your Get Ready for Summer 2008 rotation and am really pleased with the increased definition in my upper body. Unfortunately, there is still too much extra fat on top of the muscles to really be defined (problem areas are triceps for upper body and then the...

I also recommend some new surprise games/toys, wrapped up like gifts. A quick trip to the dollar store can make that inexpensive and we all know how much kids like to unwrap presents.

You might consider checking out the Cross Train Express series. It's $80 for 2 DVD's with 5 intense cardio sections, every one around 30 minutes long. They are all quite challenging, with a lot of high-impact moves.

In case you are still looking, I love Neutrogena Healthy Defense. I am fair, so I use the light tint, but in summer, I can use the medium tint. Inexpensive, available at the grocery store, and works nearly as well as light foundation.

In the middle of a muscle-building rotation (SH and 4DS), I twisted my ankle (fell off the step in 4DS-LIS). I'm now out of commission for at least a few more days before being able to do anything lower body (even walking is tough -- it's been 4 days and I'm still all swollen and in pain)...
