Hi Cathe,
I need some advice. Just received your STS series and am awaiting the low impact series. In the meantime I am just returning to exercise after many 'stops and starts" and am anxious to get going. To give you a bit of history without boring you....3 years ago I was in tip top shape at 47 yrs old, 5/2", 120 pounds and 16% body fat.
I returned to school at that time to get my Physical Therapy Assistant degree and with the amount of studying I had to do (I wanted a 4.0), and single handedly raising a family (I am a widow) the fitness went out the window. Now I am nearing 50 and closing in on peri-menopause (I haven't begun yet), with a few more creaks and squeaks, and a chronic low back (that get's better when I am stronger) and I'm in a quandry as to where to begin with cardio. I feel the STS is customizable because it's based on 1RM so it will grow with me, but with cardio I am lost. Can you make some DVD suggestions that would be a little less "impact" but still get my heart rate going?
I believe after the first month I will be in better shape and would be handle a little more impact and I can take it from there, but up till then.....
Thank you in advance....
Elizabeth
