Great advice! You mentioned your body composition not changing. 1) as mentioned before, Diet is the main factor. 2) when you do weights be sure to challenge yourself! I found once I started safely going heavier with the weights the shape changes started happening. often I will start a set heavy...

I got the help I need for my back and neck issue by finding a chiropractor who specializes in corrective care. Only one who takes xrays and shares her/his plan with you. My Dr and physical therapist wanted me to see a surgeon. I decided to see if a Chiro could help and it has changed my life...

WOW! I cannot believe I finished STS! Last night I did Disc 36 and I actually teared up from the emotional release of completing such an awesome series! I recommend it to everyone who asks (They want to know how I got my arms!) and I link to you frequently on Facebook! Cathe, Thank you for...

I LOVE the idea of HD! We could REALLY see you sweat along with us! :) Really, The letterbox would be wonderful. Terri

I just put together a Powerline squat rack and it feels very sturdy and has a 10 yr warranty. It is not huge yet my long barbell fits across it nicely. $157.00 and that INCLUDES Shipping! It arrived about 5 days after I ordered it. http://www.total-trainer.com/Racks.htm Terri

Wow! I've been working out with Cathe for 4 years now and can lift pretty heavy. I was using 75# for my rows but had to drop to 70 for the last 2 sets due to my fore arms! Top that with the intense bicep work and I can hardly hold my hands over the keyboard to type this! Anyone else find...

I like "I'm gonna kick butt not grow butt"! I found it when I started working out over 4 years ago. Keeps me going! Terri

I'm running a tad behind you all. Today was disc 8 and I loved it. I feel very well worked. I also did the pilates based abs and I LOVED it! Totally not what I was expecting! I'm slightly dreading the next 2 workouts. I dread leg workouts in general and have heard scary things regarding...

Sorry I've missed posting! We had company over the weekend then my son got a horrible case of the stomach flu and barely left my side. He is home again today but is finally eating and should be back to school tomorrow. (He is 6 and in Kindergarden) Today was disc 7. I died on the pushups...

Must be cardio in the air! I did Low Max this morning and it surprised me! I always had a dread factor for this workout so don't pull it out very often. I really enjoyed it and I know it will be good for my legs. I'm need to get ready for work! Have a great day! Terri

On Cathe's STS check in she highly recommends the red tubing for the door. I'm waiting for the tower as well but am going to get the tube anyway to hold me over! Terri

Alright, I'll order the tubing! I was going to wait for the tower, using my husbands coat rack, errrrr I mean Total Gym, to get the motion. I tried it today and it felt good but not overly challenging. I really want to get the most out of this! I'm a few days ahead of you but can't wait...

I agree that it is good to hear Cathe having to work (and even suffer a little with us!) I thought about her, and her comment about being too perky, as she was gleefully announcing more pushups on the disc I did today! (What is it with Cathe and her pushups!?) I've been struggling to...

Alright, I have come to realize that I have weak shoulders. That or they are just getting more of a workout than I'm used to! I just finished week 2, disc 4 and my arms are like rubber! I've always hated working that area for some reason. I know why now! I am so impressed with these...

Cathe, Thanks for posting your results...It is great to hear that you are human! I started your rotation last Wednesday and today is (Thank goodness) my rest day! The Disc 1 push ups did get to me, but in a good way. I struggled then caved to the knees at the end but DID do all of them...
