    Already got my new Cathe's DVD today

    I was shocked when I got home last night and my DVDs had arrived. I was so happy!! I did High Reps this morning, loved it. Also did the low impact HIIT section from Intensity. I am off work tomorrow through the end of the week so will have more time to try out all of the new workouts.

    sts strength and cardio rotation ?

    I would like to see recommendations to integrate the STS cardio with the STS strength series ASAP also...because I'm wanting to start next Monday! It does seem logical that the intensity of the cardio would change with each phase. I've only tried the Boxing workout so far though...which didn't...

    Gaining Weight with STS

    I think there is a 'trip' feature where you can set it when you start a specific workout and turn it off when you're done so that you know the specific calories you've burned....have you tried that Cynthia? guess I'm going to have to pull my book out again to see how to do it...

    Gaining Weight with STS

    Oh wow, how cool you have one too Cynthia! Yes...VERY eye opening experience for me too. I like having the digital display wrist unit because like you said it motivates me to stay more active to increase my calorie burn! My highest calorie burn has been around 2400-2500 calories but that is...

    Gaining Weight with STS

    Interesting thread! Actually I started using a Bodybugg the same time I started STS (I also go to the 24 hour fitness gym where they sell them) which is a device you wear that tracks your calorie burn and you log all your calorie intake into their web site. It has been very enlightening...as I...

    Freestyle training and STS Hi Jen, I've been thinking about how to incorporate this myself because I'd really like to lean down my lower body....in the last year or so it seems that things are wanting to 'stick' (I'm 46). I've used the method quite a lot in the past with great...
