Hi Dawn I hear you! After Mesocycle 1 & 2 I loved the feeling of DOMS, it makes me feel like I worked hard. But in Mesocycle 3, despite lifting super heavy weight.......no DOMS :confused: I finished STS and did Gym Style last week and...............DOMS. Im no expert, but from what I...

Yeh I know it´s a trivial question but I just did disc 25 from Mesocycle 3 and am feeling a bit dizzy! :( Phew what a workout I am sooooooooooo going to feel that tomorrow So who is the cutest in your opinion? For me it´s Robert, what a cutie, love those dimples! x

Hi Christianne, sounds like a good idea! I have been doing Cathe for so long and have so many of her dvds that yes, I know what weight I need to lift to fail at around 12 reps, I will do as you suggest! thanks, Im on disc 7!

I got this dvd this week and love it! Its so easy to follow but challenging with fab music Can anyone recommend a similar workout with good music (I love 80s) and with moves that are not too complex? x

Thanks for your replies, I appreciate it and am doing more 1rmes! (not all, mostly the ones with 3 stars and above) I am just doing some after my workouts, they are time consuming, but after these replies, I see I just need to shut up and do them! Thanks again! x

Hi there Thanks for the reply To be honest, I did do some 1rm but on some of them the calculation meant I was using a weight that was too light! :( I will maybe go back and look at doing a few 1rm again, I guess I just think it´s o.k to use a weight that I can use till failure......

Hi there I have had STS since Nvember and have started it twice and have never got past week two. I find the 1RM a bit of a pain in the rear so I have sarted it (again!) and this time am determined to keep it up, but I am not doing the 1RM, it´s just too time consuming! Instead I am...

Hi there. Can anyone recommend a good workout that´ll get my heart rate going that doesn´t use a step? I have the 4 day split and he HIIT workout. I have alot of Cathe´s step workouts but some days feel like a workout without the step. Does anyone have CIRCUIT MAX/CARDIO KICKS? Thanks

Hi Stephanie! I get it, FARTlek is a funny word! Its basically interval training! i.e running/jogging, but putting in short sprints occasionally, its just a way to shake things up, shock your body, you body has no idea whats coming next! I understand, I have never been a runner! Now I...

Hi Stephanie, I´m not Cathe either, sorry! BUT I am someone who has been / is in a similar situation. Personally for me, no matter how much cardio do, if I don´t watch my diet, it´s a waste of time! I sugest you calculate how many calories you need a day , there are many webpages that...

Hi there I have STS and I know it suggests doing it 3 x a week i.e Mon upper body Wed -lower body Fri upper body My question is, is it o.k to do Mon-Upper Tues-Lower Wed-Upper Thurs - Lower Fri - upper Sat - Lower Sun -rest I´m used to working my upper body every other day Has anyone...

Hi there I am currently doing STS, but I have other weight lifting DVDs (Gym Style, Slow & Heavy & Pure Strength for eg) I like these DVDs because I like to work seperate body parts on alternate days My question is, how often should I change the DVD series? For eg if I´m doing Gym Style...

There is an example that I have copy & pasted below of how to calculate a 1rm (I have put it in asterixs) *You would then go to the 1RM calculator and select “Barbell Curl, Standing” from the exercise list. For the next step, you would enter “50 lbs” for your weight lifted and “12 reps” for...

Hi there Has Cathe ever considered doing a DVD using Spinning? I think it would be great, I have a bike at home that I use to music/TV and I have one or two DVDs (Mindy Mylrea) which isn´t bad, but there are VERY FEW on the market Maybe one that involves circuits of Spinning/Weights! Mandy
