    Feet Numbness Issues...Any Suggestions?

    Thanks for the feedback! I am going to try the Nike Free CT's. I sent back the 2 new pair I purchased (Asics Gel) as they did not help at all. Good shoes but not what I needed. This numbness happens mostly with high impact, longer workouts like IMAX 3. I actually began noticing this "problem"...

    Feet Numbness Issues...Any Suggestions?

    This is probably a very common problem, but I am having major issues with my feet going numb during my workouts! :mad: It is mostly aggravating but kind of painful too. I have tried adjusting my laces over and over. I just bought 2 new pair of cross trainers to see if that helped. I just now...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 36

    Disk 36, the End I finished this out today since I am heading out of town tomorrow. What a way to end this program! I worked hard for those last reps! I will give a few examples to show where I was 3 months ago, and where I am today. Concentration Curls) Disk 1: 12 lb dumbell - Disk 36...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 35

    Disk 35 Plyo Legs Completed the final Plyo workout of STS today. Boy, did I feel it today! :eek: Certainly needed that extra stretch afterwards. All the plyo moves felt good...even did better with the one-legged squat thrusts. (Although they still weren't pretty) ;) I think I am going to...

    STS Check In Disc 34

    Disk 34 Chest and Back I just completed this workout, and yes, the 5% method does work! :D I am still amazed at the amount of weight I am able to lift now. I feel stronger than I ever have...and in only 3 months!!! I ordered the STS Cardio, so once I receive that I will do STS again with the...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 33

    Disk 33 Another great workout! Feeling that heavy weight for sure today. I feel the same as several other STS'ers-the biceps curls never get easier. All target weight met. I did go up for the concentration curls, if you can believe that. ;) Feeling very strong and focused throughout. Have a...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 32

    32 Plyo Legs Finished this workout and had to shower before I posted. I think I lost 5 lbs. in sweat alone! (it is hot here today, and no a/c :( ) My favorite move was the opener plyo, "sit n stand up w/ jump". The lifting of the legs when you sit back down really got into my quads and felt...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 31

    Disk 31 Chest and back Just finished this workout. I certainly need to invest in a weight rack. My spotter is at work so I had to do this alone. I could have gone heavier with the bench presses, but don't know how I could have gotten the bar up to begin. :confused: So, I went as heavy as...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 29

    Plyo Legs: Disk 29 I imagine everyone recalls what the majority of us felt during this workout last week. :confused: I was even unable to finish it and had to come back the next day for a re-do. Anyway, whatever the heck happened between then and today's routine is beyond me. I not only...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 28

    Disk 28 Fantastic workout! All target weight met. I did increase the one arm horizontal row after my husband commented how easy it seemed for me. Thanks, honey! ;) I am trying my best to think positive about tomorrow's Plyo Legs. Goodnight everyone!

    STS CHECK IN DISC 27

    Disk 27 Great workout! Met all target weight, even had to increase on several. :D Very happy about that. My arms feel pretty pumped right now. Bad storm's coming in so gotta run, going to lose my connection. Good luck everyone!

    STS CHECK IN DISC 26

    Plyo Legs - Again Today I attempted Plyo legs again since I was unable to complete the workout on Wednesday. I still felt "that feeling" but was able to complete the workout today. And it was no easy feat. Yes, I had to pause longer, and hit the rewind button on occasion. Wow! That, for me was...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 26

    Plyo Legs Wow, what an odd majority on this one! I too felt the "sick to my stomach" factor on this workout. As a matter of fact, I stopped at the halfway point as I felt perhaps it just wasn't a good day for me. That was the first time in this program I couldn't get through an entire workout...

    STS Check In Disc 25

    Disk 25 Chest & Back Hello! :D Just completed Disk 25. I had my husband spot for me on the bench presses since I do not have a rack of any kind. I found that I needed to increase my weight quite a bit on the presses, not sure as to why. I ended up increasing by 10lbs. , but felt it was...

    STS RECOVERY WEEK CHECK IN..DAY 4

    Thursday What a beautiful day we are having here in the south. 84 and sunny! It's about time! Well, yesterday I did absolutely nothing exercise-wise. I did rearrange the living room since we got our new furniture, and I did watch back to back hockey games. That can be pretty physical ;) That...

    STS RECOVERY WEEK CHECK IN..DAY 2

    Recovery day 2 My working out consisted of: moving HEAVY :( furniture around this morning since we are getting new stuff delivered tomorrow. Thus putting into motion the much needed Spring Cleaning of my home. My husband must think I am really strong! He had to have picked out the heaviest...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 23

    Disk 23 Legs Just finished this workout...Whoa, nellie! My calves are about as tight as can be after that one! Yes, the low-plane lunges have resurfaced and are killer as always. However, at this point in the program, I find that I am much better at them as well as the plate work. Major...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 22

    DISK 22 Chest, Shoulders and Triceps Ok, I started out strong with my 1st 10 consecutive push-ups on my toes...literally, my 1st ever on my toes. (yea for me :p) Then bench press was heavy, but got through it. Incline flys slowed way down, and for incline bench press, the weight suddenly kicked...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 21

    Disk 21 in the Bag I think I am on par with most on this workout, having hit failure with no problem. ;) My back work went smoothly, but I feel as though I can't really say anything because I don't do actual chin-ups. I use resistance tubes on the door, and I know those aren't as hard as...
