    Cathe equipment/ accessories /a game changer!!!

    I have bought Cathe accessories over the years ( Fire walker loops, bands, discs) but the barbell pad is a game changer! I have been using a pad I bought from a big box store 20 years ago, struggling with it through many programs with heavy barbell weight, including the first 4 weeks of STS 2.0...

    STS 2.0 Basic Rotation

    Agree!! I also review each workout and put each workout into an excel spreadsheet ( I prefer my own style of workout sheets) I don't anticipate starting 2.0 until the 2nd week in June and I am OK with that because I like to know how each workout is structured and have my weight selections ready.

    22 MINUTE HARD CORPS

    I bought this program when it came out in March- really enjoyed it. The sandbag is not essential and although I have used sandbags for other workouts (BodyRock Bootcamps) I didn't like it for these workouts- I just used a dumbbell. Workouts are 22 minutes long with simple and very effective...

    Question on creating a workout

    I have been teaching for 11 years and have found that there is always someone in the class willing to be the "counter" because I tend to add more reps if someone isn't keeping track. while I am very "even" in my counts side to side, I tend to say " You are doing so good let's add some more!" or...

    For those of you doing Insanity or have done it

    I agree with Shannon 110% I have done the 60 day Insanity program several times and never felt like doing additional weight lifting. Insanity did more for my cardio endurance than any other exercise regimen while maintaining the strength gains I had made with P90X and STS. That being said...
