Cathe, Thanks again.

SNM, do you think we can pin/sticky these so they won't become lost in the shuffle?

Whenever you have time.

Thank you, Cathe!

Thank you for the cardio options in this post.

BTW, the extended stretch part of STS is wonderful!

I am doing it every day following my workouts.
 
I haven't watched thru all the workouts, but I noticed on mesocycle two, the same discs are used all 4 weeks as is mesocycle three. What about discs 16-24? Like I said, I haven't looked thru workouts, so maybe it'd be sense if I did
 
Thanks, I fixed it Christine :)

What is Power Max?

Which DVD is power max? Any suggestions on a substitution? I don't think I own this one. I do have Power Hour.
 
Power Max is on the Cardio Hits DVD. Power Hour will not work as a substitute. Power Max is an all step workout that runs just over an hour I think. Its definitely one of her older ones but still a nice sweat session.
 
I just ordered STS (shudder!) and was wondering what to do that was purely cardio but I don't own most of the DVDs listed. I do have almost all of the XTrain series, one solely cardio Ripped with HiiT, and a few ICE workouts but many if not all include weight lifting. Doing only the blasts when possible? Rock'm Sock'm, one X10 option and XTrain HiiT are probably the only three that don't use weights. To be honest I'm not a fan of step workouts because I'm as uncoordinated as they come and tend to have knee issues so any advice would be appreciated! At this point I'm trying to figure out my I rep max and haven't really looked at the premixes on the videos I do have but if someone has a tip that would be wonderful! Thank you! :)
