just ordered STS

[nsaeolian]

I just ordered STS. I hope I'm not crazy. ha ha. After all, I'm not a real athlete or body building type. I just have some stubborn fat and flabbiness I want to banish. I also want some solid muscle to take me into my 50s when I turn 50 in September.... I hope it's not too hard for me. ( Miss Negative,eh.... )

Good for you! Some parts are tougher than others but just do your best & don't feel bad if u have to modify. Think of it as something to work towards for the next time. The STS program is great!

I'm 3 weeks into STS for the first time, and before I started I was really intimidated. But I am loving it!

One piece of advice: take the time to do 1RM testing, at least for the exercises on the first 3 disks. That helped me to start at the right weight - challenging but not hurt-myself heavy. I've been sore but not in an injured way, just some good DOMS. The body weight only exercises (especially push ups!) will be challenging enough, so it was good to know that I was, in fact, starting at 60% of my 1RM like you're supposed to.

Good luck and have fun!

edited to add: I agree with the advice to modify if needed. I'm doing all push-ups on my knees, for example.

I'm on my third time through the STS program. I did Meso 2, legs disk #20 today.
I LOVE this program. I think it is the best one out there. I do other workouts while doing STS (I did a Seasun Zieger DVd before I did the legs one today).
It is SOOOOOO worth it.
Yes, modify if you have to. I do....nothing wrong with it.
And I am 58.

oops I think I may have not ordered it after all. I think I escaped out of Pay Pal too soon.... ha ha. I'll have to check with PayPal later.
