    Meso Basic Question

    I did the 6 month rotation using the dumbell the entire time. I used my 10lb weighted vest for Meso 3 for added weight for my legs. I also added weights slowly on my arms for more added weight. I don't think you have to have a barbell. Try it without the barbell and in the future you...

    chin up ???? for Cathe

    Chinups Better Yet. I used a webbed belt. I looped the tube through the belt and shut the door on the belt. I then pulled on the tubes until it didn't slipped. This worked until I got the tower.

    Cathe Basic too advanced for MIL?

    You might want to start her out with a Leslie Sansone's Basic walking tape. She uses 2lb light balls in her walking routine. (1mile, 2miles, 3miles) Very easy and slow.

    Feels great Good for you! It is a nice feeling to workout. This happens to me too often.... When ever I get back into exercising I wonder why did I stop doing it? Everyone falls off the wagon at times. It is easy to do. You get burned out. You get sick. Something better comes along. Not...

    ankle/wrist weights

    ankle / wrist weights I have found wrist weights in 1lb, 2lb, and 3lbs sizes. You just have to look around for them. I found the 3lb weights at Marshalls for a good price. I like to use the weights that are velcos. So they are easy to put on and off fast. It worked great for STS. Make sure they...

    Workouts on low energy days?

    Workouts in low energy days. I would have to second the "Leslie Walking tapes". There are days I do not feel like doing a cardio at all. I just pop in one of her walking tapes in. Before you know it is over and you really don't have to think when working out with her. She has different...

    How is the Tower coming along?

    What is the Tower? In STS Meso 1 it is that metal H thing that they use to do thier pull-ups and chin-ups on while they are on the floor. In the other Mesos, it is the same metal H thing that they use to hold the barbell up when they are doing bench presses. You can't miss it. ;)

    extended stretch in STS

    I always use the Extended Stretch after my STS workouts. I never realized how good the Extended Stretch was. Until one day I tripped over my husbands shoes and twisted my back. I was so sore. It hurt to walk. I couldn't do STS for a couple of days. I did do the Extended Stretch every other...

    Ordering the new Tower?

    Thanks, I just figured that out. When I placed my order I noticed that I used the wrong coupon code. I had the right code and went out to look at my order and went back in to place the order. Somehow the code changed to a differnt code. I guess they could look up my past orders and see that I am...
