Disk 20 Legs I have done a complete turn-around when it comes to doing leg workouts since we started STS. I hated leg workouts before this, and now I am really enjoying them! This one felt so good! I really like the plie squats and the lunges with paper plates. (except for the sit n slide back...

Disk 19 Chest work went smoothly, shoulders were tough, but maintained 1RM throughout. Triceps were fine until the cross body kicks. I had to lower my weight and still had trouble completing the reps. And man, those shoulder presses never seemed to end either! I was very surprised at the weight...

Disk 18 Back and Biceps Another one in the bag! Back felt fantastic, no problems. I felt I could have gone heavier, and did in the dead rows and the one-legged dead lift (my favorite!). Love, love those one-leggers! :D The bicep work was another story. Although I kept to 75% throughout, I had...

disk 17 Disk 17 done. Very tough, but I am not feeling very energetic this week either. Must be the heavy weight work. This one really got me good. The very last set of one-legged lunges had me praying for mercy. I did do much better with the plates though. Finally able to do the moves with...

Disk 16 CS&T Well, my triceps and shoulders most certainly hit total failure today! I hadn't looked at the workout card until right before I worked out, so I didn't realize we were going up to 75% :eek: What a difference! Again, the side lying tricep extensions got me real good from get-go. I...

Back and Biceps Just finished this one. It think it should have been named back and forearms! :p I did make it through till the end, however, I felt it mostly in the forearms. Not saying I didn't feel it anywhere else, but man did they burn! Felt I could have gone heavier with the back work had...

Disk 14 Legs Also did this yesterday. The usual suspects are feeling it it today: calves, hams and glutes. My chest is is still sore from Monday! The 10 reps per move really helped, and no low-ends made me happy. ;) I don't have Step Blast, so I will be doing a Premix from Cardio Fusion today...

Disk 13 CS&T Just finished Disk 13, and boy am I feeling pumped! As I sat here briefly while the pages were loading I thought, "wow, I feel funny".:confused: I've never felt so strong. This program rocks! Very glad to be lifting again, although the recovery was lovely too. I was laughing...

Friday I chose 4 Day Split Kickbox (cardio only) and Stability ball abs. Like the others, I too am ready to lift some weights. Looking forward to Meso 2!

Thursday Today I ran the hill climb on my treadmill for 50 minutes. Felt fantastic! I had the headphones cranking out some good tunes so that kept me going. What is it about music that just keeps you motivated? Anyway, I still need to do some abs sometime tonight. It was chilly outside today...

Wednesday I had originally scheduled Cardio Fusion (no premix) for today, but Ol' Miss Mother Nature paid me a visit so I had to go with the Premix #1 for 48 min. That still wore me out. I otherwise spent the earlier part of the day sitting outside watching my son ride his tricycle and taking...

Tuesday Today I did Low Max and abs. Yesterday we all got outside and cleaned up the yard, and cleared out the garden box to ready it for planting. The weather here is lovely this week, so taking advantange of that. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! :D

Disk 12 Legs Had a very good time doing legs today! I'd say this has been my biggest improvement throughout Meso 1. I even stayed around for the bonus burn section. Those glute squeezes really got me. Yowza! :o Of course my favorite is the one legged deadlift. I made it through the low-pulse...

Only 1 more to Go! Just finished Disk 11 and feeling very strong. I too, am astonished at the weight I am able to use this week. Even looks like I am going to require a trip to the fitness store for heavier dumbells! Back and Triceps throughout this program has been my personal favorite. I come...

Finished Disk 10 Man does that small increase in weight make a BIG difference!!! I huffed, and I puffed, and I lifted them till the end. For some reason the print outs aren't listing what weight I should be using, so I have been using my own judgement. And no, I haven't been cheating.;) In all...

Disk 9 Legs Disk 9 was, dare I say, enjoyable! :D After and during last week's legs, I was exhausted and barely got through. I have felt so much stronger in general this week with all the workouts. But for me to get through legs and walk away, well, walking, is a major accomplishment for me. I...

Disk 8 Done Yippie! Just finished disk 8 and I am feeling terrific. I too was able to do the side lying push ups this time around. Getting stronger and stronger. I am thinking positive thoughts in advance about this Friday's leg work since last week left me feeling not so good. I am new to...

Good Workout Finished disk 7 yesterday. I even got my husband to join me! Yea!::D It was his first Cathe workout. I believe he was rather shocked at the intensity of it all. We did fine until the Elmo pushups on the ball. I stayed w/regular p-ups and he did the ball.(he has never used a...

Ouch! After disk 5 I felt like a champ...after (and during) disk 6 I felt like a chump. :( Granted I have been fighting an illness for two weeks, I still felt exceptionally weak during this workout. I did sleep well though! The sit and stands were tough, no weight used. Wall squats, no weight...

Week 2: finished disk 5 Let me start by saying how excited I am about this program! I actually look forward to working out, even on legs day. (ouchie!) Anyway, finished disk 5 yesterday and feeling great. It was my favorite disk of the program so far. The drop sets at the end just about did...
