I want to report on how my STS 2.0 training is coming. I loved the original STS, and have done the full series a few times. I've done Cathe workouts regularly for over 20 years, alternating cardio and strength workouts or doing her combo workouts. My weight has held steady, but now that I am...

Giant Sets Today Body was a complete workout. I'm very happy to be doing the Mobility workout today, although I do plan to do both 1 and 2 workouts. I love the Mobility workout!

Terrific update! I'm on my last week of STS 1.0 right now. This is my third time through, and my most successful to date. I alternate STS days with cardio, and this time through I am alternating between Party Rock Step and Athletic step workouts, which has worked really well. After next week...

Yay! I was just thinking about starting STS again, this winter. I recently discovered X10 again and was thinking about how that would complement STS workouts. And, I LOVE Xtrain.

Report so far. You only take Fosamax once a week. I have taken 2 doses, and am continuing my regular Ca+/Mag/Zinc supplement. I hope they are being absorbed better! I've been doing Cathe strength and cardio workouts with no changes in how I feel - no better or worse, they are always...

This is the workout I am looking forward to, the most. I am so happy she is creating this!!!

Thanks for this viewpoint. My numbers are fairly low, and my doctor feels that a short course of Fosamax may increase my calcium absorption enough to keep my bone density levels from getting worse, and maybe improve. The number for Osteoporesis is 2.5, and I'm at 2.7. So, I'm going to try it...

Oh, thank you, Jane, for the great input. It's nice to hear from someone who knows what this is like. I've taken Cal/Mag for years, but I will look at how strong the pills are. Yes, I agree that having a good exercise history is beneficial in SO many ways. I look and feel strong, but the...

Oooh, I just saw the post listing the BPM for workouts. That's the ticket! Are they listed somewhere for other workouts?

How do you know what songs have the correct beat? I've wanted to do the workout to my own playlist, but getting the tempo correct has stumped me.

I love my Apple Watch. I can glance at it and see all the information about how long I've been working out, how many steps I've gone, etc. It will buzz if I get a call, which I can choose to ignore, or stop and answer. The reason I got it was pretty stupid - but makes my life much easier...

I'm 62, and I'm a devoted Cathlete from her early days. I have every DVD now, and I do have favorites. I love Cardio and Weights, that workout is my "comfort food" video. I'm also a distance runner, and when I train I run more, do Cathe less. When I'm coming back into doing Cathe regularly...

I've been doing Cathe's videos for decades, and added distance running to the mix when I turned 50. I exercise 5-6 days/wk, have run the Boston marathon 3 times, and have never felt more fit in my life than I do now, at age 62. I exercise more than most women my age, and want to make sure it...
