I'm scheduled to do meso 2, week 3 next week, but I have a question about double wave loading. I don't have weighted gloves or platemates. How do you increase your weights in such small increments? For example 5% of 15 lbs is .75. I want to buy weighted gloves, but am waiting until the 2lbs each...

I have been experimenting around with STS, doing workouts from various cycles just to get a feel for them. However, I would like to start a rotation in earnest in September.

If you want to do the entire leg workout, I would not use any weight except your body weight for a couple of weeks and see how your leg muscles feel. You could also split the leg workouts in half and work your legs twice a week. It may be that your leg strength lags behind your upper body...

I like both of the step workouts now, but have to agree that it was hard at first. I don't regret sticking with them until I learned them.

MIC and Imax are very different from Rhythmic Step in style. They are much more athletic without a lot of stylistic choreography. They are also older workouts and have a dated look. If you really like Rhythmic Step, you might consider Step Blast/Step Jump & Pump instead. Step Blast has great...

If you have the time, the total body weight premix from Four Day Split is absolutely superb. You get great cardio workouts with this set as well.

I would imagine that athletes weight train more specifically than we do. They have to train to compensate for weak areas, and do additional work for the muscle groups that are important to their sport. They probably also weight train around their injuries.

If your knees are an issue, you might try combining the cardio only premix of Low Impact Circuit and Low Intensity Step (from 4 Day Split). Both of these workouts have low impact blasts that will get the heartrate up, but be easier on the knees.

I think you can get cardio effects from the standing portion of this workout. Many of the movements do get your heartrate up, and you can always march or run in place between exercises if you feel it is dropping.

Body Max 1 is not as "fancy" as the second one. The cardio style is more athletic, as is the circuit section. The upper body section is pretty much straight weight lifting. It's a terrific workout though. If you have the Power Hour dvd, it's on that one. Collage Video used to have vhs copies...

You may be fitter than I am, but I know I would have some trouble running 6 miles the day after doing GS Legs. It is quite an endurance workout, and your legs may be a little tired the next day.

Cross Train Express Upper Body Split is an endurance workout. I think she does 3 sets of 16 of the upper body exercises in that workout. When I do it, I always do chest, shoulders and triceps on one day and back and biceps on another. Power Hour is also an endurance workout, but because it's...

If you like step, go for Step Blast/Step, Jump & Pump. There are so many premix options on this one. You can do all step, step & weights, step, hi lo & weights, hi lo & weights. The list goes on and on. It also contains good core work and the weight work is short but challenging.

I'd like some info about this workout. How long are the step sections? How many are there? Does it contain any blasts? What about premixes? I want a new step workout from Cathe and this is one I don't have. I'm not too interested doing weights and cardio together, but was wondering if the step...

If you take out the commercials, most hour long prime time programs are only 42 minutes long. That's really sad. The news programs are the worst for drug commercials. They seem to think that no one under 55 watches the news.

You don't have to do all of B & G to get a benefit from it. Just start the dvd and do what time allows. You can also click around and do those exercises you think you need the most.

I have the PS series and I love it, but I wouldn't buy it new right now. I'd wait for STS Meso 1.

I do the same split as Kathryn. I always make sure to do back & chest early in the week. That way, if I don't have time to get in a second upper body workout, I've at least worked the large upper body muscles that week.

You might want to do some high rep, lighter weight work for awhile after doing GS and S&H. I'd recommend CTX Upper Body.

If you go to wwwdotcollagevideodotcom and put in Friedrich, it should tell you the length of all the segments.
