To buy or NOT to buy....that is the ????

Help!

I am wavering on purchasing the new STS series....I really think it would get me out of my slump, but the frugal part of me is saying "are you crazy spending that much money!". It is on sale right now, but I still am trying to justify the $$.

Would the Gym style workouts do the same thing?

How much use am I going to get out of them?

Where do all my other Cathe videos fit in?

Will I get results?

HELP!! my head is spinning.

You're asking this group? LOL I was on the fence about buying STS also, but bought it in January and finished my first rotation. First it's the first rotation I've truly completed. Second, Cathe makes it so easy to follow. Third, I really gained strength completing the rotation.

If you're looking for someone to say buy it, my vote is YES

STS pulled me out of a serious slump when it was first released. When I use it, I truly look forward to lifting weights because of the wide variety of exercises. I do not have any dread factor at all. I also enjoy the music and the back ground exercisers. The men are truly fun to watch. You can view the different exercises on Workout Manager. Click on STS and then you can select any of the workouts. Click on view and print. This way you can see which ones Cathe uses. I have since used Meso 1 many times successfully for weight-loss. It is also simple enough to sprinkle them in on any given months rotation. I really like Shock Cardio as well. I love the wide variety of cardio and intensities. I use Shock Cardio workouts all the time. Gym Styles would also work well for a slump. They are solid, tough, advanced workouts. Gym Styles offers great variety as well. They do not however, offer the different Meso Cycles. I think the best way to decide is to watch the clips over and over so you get a feel for both. Either one would work well for a slump. I own both and would not part with either. Peggy

I understand your hesitation, as I know I have made purchases and wonder why. But I promise you----you will NOT regreat the purchase of STS!!! I just finished the 3.5 rotation and I saw gains that I have never seen. I have been doing Cathe for years. Just this fall I did a slow and heavy rotation and also use Gym Styles alot. I saw good results---but nothing compares to the results that I saw with STS in my upper body. The music is fun...the workout challenges you to take your goals to the next level!!

Thank you for your reply....do you mind me asking how much you lost..

My goal was not weight loss so I may not be the best person to ask. I lost 8lbs. last summer that I had gained from not exercising for a year. I was up to 152 lbs at the end of last school year and I was down to 144 when school started. When I started STS in February my goal was to tone my upper body more. My weight at the time was 142- 144.....and now it is 140-141. I didn't have an extra clean diet as I don't like to weigh under 140lbs. While doing STS, I did 3 days of cardio and sometimes that may have been 30 minutes or 40 minutes which is what I felt that I needed to maintain as long as I ate relatively clean.

My arms are looking good and I can see definition in my thighs. I am ready for the sleeveless shirts for summer My coworkers tell me that I look lean. STS will take your strength gains and definition to a new level.

When I started STS, I could barely get through the push ups on my knees. When I started MESO 3, I could do some push ups on my toes. I have never been able to do that in all the years of exercise!

Excellent! Thank you for your input. I'm not looking to lose a ton of weight as much as I am looking to really lean out and gain some definition in both my upper body and lower body (especially quads/hams).

I think this will do it for me.....now to get the diet cleaned up...ugh! :-)

I am doing the 5.5 month rotation. I am almost done with Meso 2 (about 1.5 weeks away...). I am getting fantastic results! I was already getting great results but a month ago joined WW online to try and lose these pesky 5-7 pounds that have been hanging on to me for dear life for the past year or so. Well, WW is working like a charm and making my STS results even MORE obvious! I LOVE IT! It's an awesome program! I highly recommend it! I am leaner, lighter, more defined and stronger! WOOH HOO! My muscles are popping all over the place. Love it!
