I guess I'm first today! How is that possible?? I'll be quick since I have a crazy day today at work. I did NOT get my run in last night, got home so late from work and ended up with a quasi-migraine so I made a deal with myself. Get up earlier today to get my PUB workout in and then a short...

Wow. This is a first. I'm starting our thread today! Probably because I'm working from home this morning since it's a half day (and who really wants to waste time in traffic just to turn around and do it all over again a few hours later??) and because I had a fab workout this morning. Scott, Jo...

I know, I'm probably jumping the gun here, but I have to ask - any word on what the 2010 Road Trip date will be and when the sign-up begins? I'm DYING to go back and can't wait to hear more :)

Hi hi Cathe!! I am hoping you can help me (and my sister). As you know, we're both training to become Group Kick certified instructors and are into the home stretch before we launch the class at our gym. The choreography is there, the stamina is there and the technique is almost there (this is a...

Hi Cathe (and fellow Cathletes - please chime in!) - trying to figure out what's the best option for protein powder on the market right now. My husband is into the MetRX ones and I've tried them, they are pretty good mixed with milk and some crushed strawberries but wondering if I should be...

...took 3-4 weeks off from the 6-month rotation (did 3-month too) and am ready to dive back into STS yet again. What can I say? I'm an addict! :-) Any advice from others who've given the undulating rotation a whirl? Also curious how your results differed in this rotation versus the standard one?

...because the coupon offer this week was just TOO tempting. This was a series I hemmed and hawed over when it first came out, I wasn't sure I'd dig the split in cardio/weights but now that I've been doing STS for about 9 months, I'm looking for the next "shock" to the body, before STS Shock...

I'm a couple weeks out from finishing the last mesocycle of a 6-month rotation.I already did the 3-month version and am trying to figure out what to do "next" to keep shocking it. I saw something about the undulating rotation and it toally piqued my interest. Is anyone doing this currently? I'd...

Wasn't really sure where to post this but figured anywhere on the forums was better than not posting at all! I was at the Cathe RT this weekend and mentioned to the Cathe.com crew that I had recently snapped one of my STS discs and was hoping to purchase a replacement. With no questions...

So I have to ask - I just saw the agenda posted to the RT website and it looks like LOTS of surprises are in store regarding the TYPES of workouts we'll be doing with Cathe (other than Boot Camp which scares me, that was a TOUGH one last year!). My question...will you be divulging what...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's done this but in my haste to get through those leg trisets in Meso 2 last night, I snapped the second disc (I think it's 14) in Meso 2 while taking it out of the case. So bummed! I ended up doing the next leg workout in the series instead but would really like...

Hi Cathe! I am in need of your always-sage workout advice. As you probably know by now, I'm an overenthusiastic fitness freak at best...I run, spin, am in my second round of STS (6-monther this time) and I throw in kickboxing and step on occasion too. Recently, I've had some pretty frustrating...

It's official, I am DONE with STS round one and am honestly feeling even more proud of myself this morning than I thought. It's an incredibly challenging workout series and I am SO impressed with the results I've seen in the past 3.5 months. It's crazy, especially towards the end of meso 3, in...

...my excitement! I just preordered the power tower and used my handy-dandy discount from preordering STS cardio to also buy the weighted vest! I'm doing a happy dance in my office as we speak. :-) I can't wait!! And on an STS note, I can't believe I'm done with meso 3 and thus, my first...

Ok - so I've started to use my laptop during my workouts so I can record my weights throughout the workout in real-time so I don't have to go back and update it later based on the print-out and my chicken-scratchings. So - how come when I go back to do the next disc in the series that focuses on...

Hey Cathe - I figure you're the best person to ask this since you always have such creative ideas for workouts, you must have creative ideas for lunch alternatives and so forth :) I've hit the "I'm sick of food" period where all of my "go-to" lunches for the work week are soooo not appealing...

Ok so I was just getting used to dealing with the drop-sets and tri-sets that run rampant in Meso 2 and then I hit disc 22, week 4 chest/tris/shoulders and I thought I was going to die! I was wondering why this particular workout was only 43 minutes but boy do I know now why it was shortened up...

I just had to post to the forums today with this realization - after finishing meso 2 week 2 of legs last night, I could feel a marked change in how I handled each tri-set which leads me to believe that STS is working not just on the outward appearance of muscles but on how strong I am starting...

Is it just me or has anyone else had a serious case of the hungry horrors since starting STS? I'm just finishing up week 3 (ouch!) and have woken up and/or gone to bed with a growling stomach! That - or as soon as I'm done eating lunch, I'm hungry again! I haven't dramatically altered my eating...

My husband started STS with me on Monday and it's been hilarious to watch, I have to admit. He totally underestimated the pain that Cathe instills through each of her workouts! I came home on Monday night to the sounds of my husband grunting and yelling at the TV. I came upstairs to check on him...
