Just started STS - should I do 3-month or 6-month rotation?

[jewels5]

I just started STS yesterday (finally)and I loved it!

I was curious if anyone else happened to start yesterday too, and if you were doing the 3-month or 6-month rotation? For those who have done both, which would you recommend? This is my first time and I'm so excited!

Thanks!

Myself, my rotation will come out to 4.5 months. I just started last week.

I have done the 3 month rotation 3 times now, you are going to love this!

I liked the 3 month version because I liked the variety. Joan

This is my 1st time too. I'm doing the 3 mo rotation, disc 31 today and I had to buy 2 10# discs for my bar bell so I could go up to 70lbs on rows & deadlifts and I've been going slow and cautious so I don't hurt myself. I am so pleased with this program. I am in my fifties and I honestly don't think I have ever been so fit in my life. I am a corrections officer at a jail and we are in contract negotiations and have asked for a 2% raise for passing a standard fitness test. For my age group the requirments are 12 pushups (on knees) 15 situps run 1.5 in 15 minutes ect. I will be able to meet the standards for 20-29 year old! I am so thankful I found Cathe. After Christmas I'll try the 6 mo rotation.

I just started a 6 month rotation. I did the 3 1/2 month from July - October and was very pleased with the results. Did Disc 1 yesterday and was so pleased with how I was able to do all the push-ups straight-legged which I couldn't do even on my knees back in July. If you make it all the way to the end of Meso 3, you're going to be thrilled. Meso 2 is fun, and Meso 3 just makes you feel tough. 3 was my favorite.

Way to go! So glad to know there's hope! I felt like a failure doing most of them on my knees.

I've decided to start with the 3-month rotation. After all the talk of the new DVDs I'd like to try some (maybe all) of them out, then go for the 6-month rotation to take me through the summer.

I just started STS also. I did disc #1 today and all my push ups were on my knees. I'm trying out the 3 month rotation to start with. I can't believe I waited this long to start. I don't have the STS tower and I'm hoping I can work around that. Good Luck with your program it sounds as though it will be well worth it!

I'm sticking with an STS rotation for my first time. I'm just doing one disc every other day. I hope I'll be able to do real push-ups by the end of the third series!
