@Debinmi at this point, I have to pretty much not use ANY weight at least for bicep work. It's painful just grabbing a full glass and picking it up to drink from it.

That's the plan! My body wants to keep this guy employed, apparently.

Same - though I've not been using the December workouts very much, I thoroughly enjoy STS 2.0 and all its workouts as a whole. Been moving through another 12 week rotation of it (back in the body parts phase again.) I had to take it pretty light and easy this go around due to the back issues I...

I lived on the Big Island for many years (miss Hawaii). I can't say too much about the logistics of Koko crater and Diamond Head, but as far as fun things to do on Oahu: Rent a jeep and go to the North Shore - also just take a drive around the island, period. There's lots to see. (Be prepared...

There's still a large group of people following newer fitness influencers whose primary platforms are social media sites like Instagram, YouTube, etc.. They may still be doing home workouts, just with other instructors who develop different types of fitness programs that aren't in DVD format but...

I've had gym memberships in the past - mostly because some co-workers wanted me to join in so we'd get a group discount. Funny thing was I stayed while the rest of them kind of lost their motivation. I was actually surprised to enjoy the gym experience, beings for many years I'd worked out...

XTrain came in a set like LITE

I'm looking forward to when this series makes it out. I ended up ordering a balance disc in preparation for it. While I'm sure the new series will have its own robust rotation (or several rotations), I'm also hoping for a rotation of this series that intermingles with STS 2.0 and then maybe one...

Sorry to hear about your shoulder. I find body injuries aren't always as simple as "I did something wrong". I swear sometimes my body just decides on its own that an area is suddenly going to be testy when I do certain moves. Debinmi gave some great advice. Most of all, do as your doctor...

I look forward to when my lower back will tolerate those Pendlay rows again... they're so fun.

OMG, the Fanny Lifter... memories... I actually liked that piece of equipment. It was a good substitute for the standard square step, which I now have. I also had the sculpting stick with its little removable weights on the ends. Honestly, Cardio Blast was my favorite FIRM workout. Had a little...

Yes, even going from body-weight only to 3# weights is eye-opening. I'm up to using 5# weights and it's still quite a difference. Can't imagine doing these with heavier weights like in XTrain, at least not in my current state. Goals. That knee drive plays a huge role in the balance challenge...

My PT has been having me do these tricky 1-legged deadlifts with knee drives lately to help with my lower back issues. It's just insane how off-balance I am. I'm about to tip over on every rep when balancing on my right leg while my left is solid. No wonder my left side is so tense all the...

I am so sad to hear of the loss of your dear, long-time friend. Remember that you are hurting, too, so this is an opportunity for mutual support of one-another, even though Tina was of course much closer to him. A friend of mine lost her husband to a motorcycle accident a couple years ago, and...

I hear people on the pain concerns. This lower back pain is finally starting to get better, but it's absolutely frustrating when I want to do a workout and there's a bunch of forward flexion in it since right now my body wants to punish me if I dare to try to move like a normal human being. (Oh...
