In order to fully follow the STS program how much time is spent working out?

How many days per week and how much time per day?

Thanks,

STS is just a three day per week program. Times of the workouts can be found in the Workout Manager Schedule an STS workout.

Hi Tracy! The actual STS workouts require three days a week. You can fill in your own favorite cardio on the other days to suit your own needs. As far as the length of the STS workouts, you can find this info listed in our workout manager program.

Thanks Cathe, that is kind of what I figured from reading through everything.

Yes, after I posted I saw how long each workout was. It sure looks great!

Thanks,
Tracy

First go to the "Workout Manager" at http://www.thecathenation.com/workout and log in....Follow the directions below. Step 4 will tell you how to see the workout times.

1. To a schedule a STS workout first click on the �Add New link you see on the right side of the STS Workouts category highlighted in orange. This will launch a popup window called �STS Workout.
2. Next, in the �Select STS Disc Number dropdown box select the STS disc you wish to schedule a workout for. All of the exercises for the disc you have chosen, along with other information, will automatically load in the same order as the DVD.
3. With STS we use a percentage of your One Rep Max to determine the weight you should use for most exercises. The correct weight you should use for each STS exercise for your chosen disc # will be shown as long as you have previously performed a One Rep Max test for that exercise (FYI: exercises that you have recorded a One Rep Max test for will always be shown in red while those you have not will be shown in black).
4. Most of your information like Mets, workout duration, and calories burned will automatically be filled in upon selecting your STS disc #. You will only need to adjust the start time for your workout using the dropdown arrows in the �Time field box.
5. You may also manually enter or change the weight for any exercise if you prefer.
6. Lastly, you have two choices to save your workout. If you wish to save your workout and print a workout card to follow along with your STS workout simply click on the �Print and Save Workout card button you see at the bottom of the popup window. As long as you have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer your workout card will appear and you will just need to click on the printer icon and then click okay.
7. If you only wish to save your workout and not print a workout card then just click on the �Save button.

1. Record your STS Reps and Weights
   1. After completing your STS workout you may want to record your actual reps and weight so you can track your progress. Simply click on the �Record Reps & Weight button in the Agenda View and change your reps and weights as is necessary.
   2. Lastly, you have two choices to save your workout. If you wish to save your workout and print a workout card for your records simply click on the �Print and Save Workout card button you see at the bottom of the popup window.
   3. If you only wish to save your workout and not print a workout card then just click on the �Save button.
2. Change STS Status to Completed
   1. First click on the date that contains the STS workout you wish to change the status to completed.
   2. After Agenda View opens select the radio button next to �Completed in the STS category. A small pop up window will open saying �Your workout is recorded successfully.
   3. Lastly, click �OK and when you return to the Calendar View your STS image will now be Brown indicating that you have completed the workout.
   4. To change any of the data you entered for your STS workout simply click on the view/edit button in the agenda view and then click �Save after making any changes.

Are the user name and password needed to log into the workout manager different than what we use to log into the site? It won't allow me to log in.

Both use the same login information. If you have a problem just log out and then close your browser. Then open a new browser and login again and you should be good to go.
