    Mastering choreo in step w/o

    I'm quite fit and enjoy high-step hiit, other step routines without much choregraphy, just straighforward hard and fast moves. But when it comes to combos, mambos, over-face-it-overs.. Well, I feel lost and confused. How do I master them and stop feeling discouraged? What to do, if I fail to...

    Need help to recover

    without losing previous progress. Hi, Cathe, I have been exercising for the past 4 years and achieved, more or less, the shape I wanted. But recently I faced a serious life challenge: a person dear to me was gravely ill. With me, stresses cause a weight loss and a sort of an eating disorder...

    X10 review

    Doable. Pushes you to the very limit, but doable in its entirety (77min, yeah?). I loved the workout, though, of course, I WAS soaking sweat already at the first segment. :eek: Again, for me it is another example that a top-intensity routine can be created without that dreadful dread factor...

    Adding sets/reps

    Justinef, thanks for the feedback, a very interesting article. I suspected something of this sort. I wonder about training volume because my current working weights are rather high (close to my BW sometimes) and after completing meso 3 I'm now in, these will increase yet more. I am definitely...

    Adding sets/reps

    Hello Cathe, If/when you have a minute, could you clarify whether adding sets/reps to your programs is a viable option to increase challenge/shock the system? (I am not afraid of increasing weights, but trying something different seems good too) And, (guess I am overstaying my welcome at this...

    Meso 3

    Hi Cathe, I am about to start Meso 3 of STS, and I wonder what it is supposed to do to my body in terms of look. I will get stronger, that is clear, and, as a female, I do not expect to get really "bulky", but will I/can I get leaner/smaller? (do not need to lose weight, but there is always...

    Mixed series

    with about 6-months' rotation combining heavy weights and bodyweight workouts (esp. barre and mat work) + HIIT for "cardio". I'd appreciate a couple of bonus total body workouts to the series as well. Though, STS is a masterpiece and we can use it again and again by building our own rotations...

    I'm back, thank you and new workouts

    Dear Cathe, you are a true example of how to face whatever life can bring to us. It is really impressing how you managed to handle your job, your personal grief and even this community which stayed live and was not left unattended. I admire your courage, your spirit and attitude towards...

    FlexTrain

    Absolutely loved this workout! I'm on my active recovery week after STS meso 1 (doing the 6-month rotation). And, as my goal is body enhancement, not weight loss, I was trying to stick to low-impact activities like walking/nordic walking, light cycling, barre-style workouts...

    Business trips and STS

    Hi, Cathe (and the Cathe Nation), What would be your recommendation on combining STS schedule and business trips (from 4 to 10 days)? Of course, one can always run and eat right everywhere, or do a bodyweight workout in a hotel room, but STS requires equipment which is not available...

    Is it ok to start with S&H?

    I think the most important is to start. Whatever quality and comprehensive fitnes & nutrition program to get on track. S&H is a great option to build a sound regimen. Weight loss is an overall process and building muscles is a part of it. Anyway, as I myself now see, you have to switch from...

    Next Workout Series....

    Never too much of a good thing, ah? Well, we all cannot wait for more of Cathe's DVDs and that's for a reason. She IS unique. I've tried many programs, some were good, some excellent, like Beachbody programs, but Cathe still betters them, 'cause she delivers all: efficiency safety...

    Another SH fan

    I would love to see a new series of strength w/o, SH-style with a total body workout of at least 60-70 minutes (3-4 sets per exercise, advanced level). 4-5 day split would be great too).

    Switching back to lighter weights?

    Hi, Cathe, I have been lifting weights for a couple of years now and like it immensely. I like your routines very much. I see that the approach varies and sometimes you lift up to 50lbs (for legs), sometimes stick to as little as 8lbs (for the very legs). I see that in the first case the...
