http://cathe.com/strengthening-core-isolation-integrative-exercises-effective - but with both feet touching the mat and the fore arm on the mat - side planks. I know I did it recently but now I can't find it. I went through the abs/core sections of all the workouts I've been using. Is it hidden?

Thank you so much, Tiletha. This is very helpful! I also appreciate the administrator responding, but it is good to know which segments are left out.

I like to love the music in everything but Trisets. The lower body segment is much better, using bass instead of regular, shrill guitar, but it still isn't the kind of music designed to fit with the moves. It's like the rock music they play in some gym weightrooms - just background music but too...

What is the focus of these premixes? They are each almost an hour - is something left out of each one or what? I would really appreciate an explanation. Thanks!

I only buy yard eggs for humanitarian reasons. I suppose if everyone did that they would become very expensive as you can't have a giant farm factory with free ranging chickens, but I would prefer to pay more and not have chickens treated so badly. I let them age at least a couple of weeks...

I would like to lose a few pounds but it may not happen during my first STS rotation as adding muscle is my priority. I have read and heard many times that reducing calories and/or increasing cardio enough to cause weight loss is detrimental to building muscle. What I'm thinking is once I...

Sorry about your dog. I know that is a very hard and sad thing to have to do. I was a bit out of shape back before STS came out and spent about two months gradually upping the level of my workouts both cardio and strength. I did Gymstyles split into shorter segments and then 4DS. I still...

That is an interesting statement that one cannot build endurance after 60. I don't know where that is coming from - maybe you can't become a champion cyclist, runner, whatever starting that late, but surely anyone can improve endurance by building up gradually.

A number of us over at VF are wondering if STS needs to be modified for people over 50 or 60 and up - we are finding we need more recovery time or we are still sore when the next workout for the same muscle groups comes up - should we space the workouts farther apart, use lower weights than our...

I am doing STS and enjoying the workouts with pretty heavy weights. However, I guess I've let my aerobic conditioning slide - too much walking for cardio. I find my HR gets uncomfortably high during something like Higher Intensity Step - I end up walking or jogging lightly during the...

I'm sorry you hurt your wrist - I'm wondering if you had previously done the forearm and wrist curls as in Slow and Heavy, Gymstyles and 4DS. I have been trusting these have prepared me for the heavier lifting in STS. I know how discouraging an injury like that can be and want to avoid it...

So when you finish Meso #3 are you supposed to start over with Meso #1? Do you continue this cycle indefinitely?

Just do 1/2 or 1/3 of each of 3 DVDs one day, then the next time go to Chapters and start where you left off on each DVD. It's not that much changing and you can probably use the break!

Aren't Cathe's DVDs guaranteed for life if you purchase directly from her?

I just got my Meso 3 preorder today and the Squat Rack workouts were not included. What gives? I emailed customer service.
