Hi Ladies! I know I've been MIA for a bit! I haven't done any workouts since I last posted. I was SO overtired from lack of sleep (from simply having too much work to do) and the resulting stress! Saturday we drove to Phoenix early in the morning for a family function so I wasn't able to get...

Hi Guys! Well, I didn't end up catching up on my workouts over the weekend. I had good intentions but was just so overtired and it was all I could do to get things done that needed to be done on the homefront! I'm not going to beat myself up over it. This morning I did about 3/4 of disc 5 and...

I say stay with a PC, but maybe do away with Dell. I had problems with my Dell laptop and it was a struggle (understatement) to get them to replace the faulty parts despite my premium warranty. I'm thinking of going with Sony for my next laptop.

Fifty lashes with a wet noodle and no TV for a week! Seriously, like everyone else says, just chalk it up to an indulgence and just move on. I can't believe you haven't had a cheeseburger for years! How did you accomplish that?? Now that's a feat in itself if you ask me.

Hi Ladies, I didn't wake up early enough to tackle disc 5 today. Might be a good thing since my shoulders are still sore from disc 4 - probably those bow and arrow pulls! :) Seriously, that band is fierce. I'm wrapping up July's financials at work so I shoudl be able to breathe soon...

I finished disk 4 tonight and am going to try to do 5 in the AM but I'll see what time I get up! My dogs keep wanting to play and lick my ears & face during the push-ups. As if they aren't hard enough to do!! Things should let up a little bit at work next week and I should be able to get more...

I've had really bad luck with whey protein myself (even in small quantities). It made me bloated and my stomach very upset. I actually -for the first time in a long time- tried a protein drink again this morning (muscle milk) and was very pleased to encounter no negative side-effects!!

Another vote here for Weight Watchers. It will let him incorporate his choices into everyday life. I lost over 70lbs using WW on-line & have kept it off for over 4 years now. I never once attended a meeting either. Another good thing is that you can keep track of your points on your PDA or...

Hi Ladies! I totally agree with your comments about the music. I wish it was better but understand it's gotta be very pricey to get the rights to use it. I did about 3/4 of disc 4 today. Was supposed to do it yesterday & LowMax today but that's all I got in. I didn't get home from work...

Thanks Kathy (and to everyone else who responded on this thread)!! Not sure if I'll be able to wait the two months for Cathe to have it in stock so it's good to know there is an alternative available. I look forward to the elimination of waffle legs when doing lat rows and those types of...

Does anyone happen to know where I can find a mat similar to the one Cathe uses in STS to cover the step for 'bench' work? It looks like it fits the step perfectly and even appears as if it might be padded. Thanks! -Kelly

Hi Sharon! Nice to 'meet' you! I also bought Chalean Extreme while I was waiting for STS to ship. But I can't really give it a fair review since I didn't finish it! As far as the workouts I did try, I thought it was okay. I really should have stuck with it though because I'm sure then I...

Hi guys! I'm bad about doing the ab work too. Work was really crazy...I probably picked the worst time I could have to start this rotation...but when is it ever a good time?! Since I was up so late this week I ended up running out of time on both disc 2 & 3 on Wed. and Friday so I completed...

I worked out last evening after work. My arms were killing me after some of the weight work the trainer had us doing. This morning was disc 2 but I ran out of time about 3/4 of the way through...actually it was probably a little less than that because I didn't end up doing the chin-ups. I...

Welcome Helene (or is it Helen?)! Good for you doing all the 1RM tests! I know I should have but I feel like I generally know my maxes already on quite a few of the exercises. I tried to do a little cardio this morning but was really tired. We have kind of a mini-gym here where I work and a...

STS Disc 1 I couldn't agree with you more about the push-ups! I did the entire workout except for quite a few of the push-ups. I didn't want to fall flat on my face with my jello arms. At this point, I'm all knee push ups. I had surgery for a rotator cuff tear two years ago and have really...

8/3 Start Date! Wonderful! It will be nice to have someone to compare notes with. I downloaded the rotation into my workout calendar but haven't begun the 1RMs yet. :( I'll try to get some done tonight and then work in what I can between now and Monday. I know what you mean about...

I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed myself as far as where to start! I decided to calc. my 1RMs by disc also. Which rotation are you planning on doing? I thought I'd attempt the STS & Cardio 3 /12 month one and am shooting for starting on August 3rd. Let me know if you (or anyone else on the...

Nice Steven Wright quote in your signature line Kassia. :)

Wow, that's it? For me the cheapest method (UPS ground) is $42.00. UGH. Do you guys still think it's worth taking the plunge and buying?
