I did the 3 1/2 month rotation last year (March - June) and it was great. Then, I got very involved with work and then marathon training and wasn't able to be consistent enough to do it again. Today, I started the 6 1/2 month rotation (yay!!). Last time, I used the workout calendar and...

Hi there, I finished the 3 month STS rotation in June and I'm restarting STS this week. I'm using the same 1RMs that I used the first time, but I have a question about the Workout manager. Last time, I didn't enter in the weights I used from each workout. I just did the workouts, and...

I'm trying to decide if I should be doing more with the Workout manager than I am. Right now, I obviously put my rotation in the calendar and mark it complete each day. I print out my workout card before the workout and jot down weight used, actual reps and notes. However, I don't go back in...

So, I'm 2 weeks in to STS (I do disc 6 tonight) and my boyfriend has been watching me and has decided that he wants to do STS also. Now, I'm totally thrilled, but I have some questions. I'm going to finish out meso 1 and then restart meso 1 after my week off, which I don't think should cause...

Hi Cathe, I don't have access to a chin up bar or tubing, but I do have a weight machine that BF uses. I just started STS and did Disc 2 tonight. I went to the weight machine during chin ups and pull ups and did lat pull downs with the machine instead. It was very tough and I felt it...

FINALLY, my videos came!! I was so worried that the snow was going to prevent UPS from coming. Still, I have another question. I initially read that we shouldn't do STS such that we are working out the same body part 2 days in a row. I read that to mean that I could do upper body 2 days in...

Is there anyone else with this problem? I work out in my unfinished basement. The walls are not solid, they are just the insulation (no drywall over them)... and frankly there is just no where down there with a real wall or anything solid/wall-like that I can do wall squats against. Should i...

When doing the 1RM test, can you just assume that certain exercises will be the same weight? For example, if there is a dumbbell bicep curl standing, a dumbbell bicep concentration curl, and an alternating curl? Can we just do one of those and say the rest are the same weight? I'm overwhelmed...

Hi Cathe! I used to do your videos exclusively until 2006 - I signed up for marathon training and ran 4 marathons in 2006 & 2007. I didn't want to mix my marathon training with either Lower Body Weights or Step because of either tiring out my knees or bothering my joints / over training...

I just wanted to post my success so hopefully Cathe will see - I'm bubbling with pride. Let's see... I started out just dieting with Weight Watchers and I was successful, but I didn't keep it off after I hit my goal weight (lost 50 then gained 30). I was bored with gym workouts, couldn't...

Hi Cathe/SNM: How long will the presale be going on ? I would really like to purchase the new workouts, but I just spent some $ on the road trip and on a new pair of sunglasses, so I may need to wait a few weeks. --Kim

Does anyone else want to go pick up the Harry Potter book while we're on the road trip? I can't decide if I should just wait until I get home. I preordered from Waldenbooks, but I'm not sure if I can pick it up from ANY walden books or if I have to get it from the one near me... --Kim

What happens if something happens and I've signed up for the road trip and I can't make it? Is there a cancellation policy?

Hi Cathe, I've been working out with Videos since 3/2003, I started with The Firm and moved up to your videos in about June of 2004. Never have I been very consistent for longer than about a 2-3 month stretch, even during those consistent times I was doing 5 days per week, usually no more...
