I just completed 8 weeks of Meso one and I'm starting my recovery week tomorrow. How much cardio did you ladies do on recovery week? Thanks, Lori

I did up to 5 days of cardio and one day of yoga or stretching.

I did my regular running which is 4-5 days per week. The other 2 days I did STS ab circuits and yoga.

When your doing the cardio for how long 45-60 min? I've stepped it up a bit in the last two weeks and have done 6 days a week with the sts workouts and this week which is recovery week I'm starting to feel a bit tired and grouchy. Even though I enjoy the cardio I think when I start back on STS meso 2 I will go back to 3 x a week cardio. Do you ladies ever feel this way after alot of cardio? Thanks, Lori

I wouldn't do cardio 6 days a week along with STS. I think that is too much. Your body is probably telling you it's tired. I do 3 days a week of cardio when I did my STS rotation. I pretty much listen to my body and if I don't feel up to it, I don't do the cardio, or shorten it. I was able to pretty much keep to Cathe's rotation, though.
