Meredith!
I'm checking in! I am so sore from yesterday's disc 4! Feels good though. Tomorrow is Disc 5, wahoo! How did your workout go today? I did some Slide and Glide Cardio today and sweat like crazy and had so much fun with it! Have you tried that one yet? I didn't pre-order XTrain. Figured I'd stick with STS and different rotations of it for a while. I hope you are enjoying your week and had a good STS workout today. Night!

Hi MacKenzie!

Hi Si! I was feeling Disk 4 after I was done, and today after I was done, I was wondering if Cardio Kicks was the best cardio pick, since I am doing back tomorrow. I have wondered that about doing Low Max before the legs day too, since Low Max is very leg oriented (although it doesn't use weights). Anyway, yes, I have the whole low impact series (except the bike one), but haven't done most of them because of the problem of finding a good surface for the disks. I have hardwood in my house, and it works great there, but I workout in my garage, which has the padded, puzzle piece flooring. Now that I picked up a small area rug, I'll see about doing more of the low impact videos.

I think you were smart to wait on the pre-order. I always seem to get sucked up into the craze I'm sure I have so many Cathe's that I'll never need another one, but it's nice to have sometime new to do and I love doing the same workouts that everyone else is doing and comparing notes (like we are with STS!)

I still haven't figured out my best option for replacing the chin-up/pull-up moves. My friend probably hasn't even started on my home made pull-up gizmo, so I guess I'll use the bands. If only a gravitron machine would fall from the sky (and gently) land in my back yard Love those assisted pull-up machines!

Have a great day!

Hi Meredith!

Yay, we made it to week 3!!! How is yours going? Wow, I've been so busy with work, cooking classes and retreats. I'm prepping for my Seaweed 101 trip this weekend.

My biceps and chest were so sore this week and I had a hard time getting through all of those pushups! I just kept modifying and on some only went down halfway. Were you able to figure out the chin ups?

Today I completed Shoulders and Back and I just wasn't sweating as much and felt like I could lift more weight since the previous 2 weeks. I think I just got stronger and needed the first two weeks to break me in or something!

I hope your workouts are going well and think that it is so awesome that you won of of the LIS! I want to get the Cardio Supersets. Do you like that one? How is your morning eating going?

Have a great week!

Hi Mariposa,

Hello Mariposa, yes I do cardio on my off days and I otherwise follow the program as cathe outlines (3x wk for weights), but I'm new at this. Any one else have anything to add? Good luck!
