Thanks so much, both of you! I was thinking that since High Reps is so Total Body, that doing isolated Back and Chest work for an hour the next day would be very different. Afterall, High Reps only works Back and Chest for a total of 10 minutes (5 minutes per part!). The day I posted this for...

I posted this for Cathe in the Ask Cathe thread. I am interested in hearing everyone's responses. This question comes up a lot, and it seems I have never really gotten a definitive answer. Thanks for your input! I am wondering about your opinion on waiting just 24 hours between lifting for...

anyone else? I am interested in hearing everyone's opinions about this topic. Thanks.

Hi Cathe, I am wondering about your opinion on waiting just 24 hours between lifting for the same muscle groups, rather than 48. For example, I did your High Reps dvd yesterday, and feel like doing back and chest from Slow and Heavy today. High Reps works these muscles as well, but not in as...

Thank you! :)

Thanks Cathe! I will do a search to see what I can come up with. Thank you so much for all of your fantastic workouts, and Happy New Year!

Has anyone done the HiiT workouts using a HR monitor that measures calories burned? I am really curious about how many calories (on average) a 30 minute workout of this sort burns. I did the 30/30 today and worked my rear off, but since it was so short I wonder if I am expending many cals. Thanks.

Do you use dvds for this or lift on your own? I haven't spent a great deal of time doing this, but I am familiar with the technique. Could you tell me more about how you do these workouts? Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I think I will increase my weightloads and see how that works. Have a great evening!

That's okay Kathryn. I can take it, but some people might really take that kind of a comment to heart, and it might really make them worry! I know I am not addicted to exercise. I am very healthy and have healthy habits. I have been working out for most of my life and I have never experienced...

Thank you! I think this sounds like great advice. I am definitely going to increase my weight and I think I will re-test my 1RMs as well. :)

I also wanted to add that I do remember times during my first go-round with STS when I felt it more than others. I also have NOT retested my 1RMs. I need to do that. Kathryn, I would be very careful about making a "diagnosis" of someone over the internet on a fitness forum. I posted looking...

Thanks for your reply. I don't think I have exercise addiction actually. I think I am just used to working hard and feeling like I worked hard. This time with STS, I am not feeling that. I definitely do moderate and intense cardio- I am not a total extremist. I guess my real question is this: If...

I don't know what is up with me. I am doing Meso 2 and am doing everything to my 1 RM, sometimes a bit heavier than that. I just don't feel that I am getting worked out! This is my second time through STS. I skipped M1 because I was doing KCM's Muscle Def, other Cathe endurance weight dvds, etc...

Does anyone know if there is any information about calories burned for every STS workout? I am really curious to know how many cals (on average) are burnt. I realize that calorie expenditure is dependent on many factors (weight and weights lifted, etc.) but a general sense would be helpful. I...
