Jen - You're right, there is a similar move in TB Trisets w no reaching down. I'm sure that's fine as a modification. Some things don't work for us, and that's ok...as long as you keep trying or do something that works better for you. ;) Betty - Unfortunately I live and work in Northern VA...

I'm still here! I tend to read often, but I usually don't have much time to write. And last week was particularly crazy...2 hr drives home Wed & Thurs, and my husband was working late with crazy search warrant stuff, so I had the kids on my own those nights too. Still got week 3 done though...

STS is a pretty serious commitment for someone just starting out. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, but I wouldn't want her to get overwhelmed and frustrated from the start, you know? Maybe STS Total Body to just get a taste of it for a while? Or High Reps? Older faves of mine are...

Also, about the Elmo style pushups... I started about 1 week behind most of you so I did disc 7 today. Those pushups are in Drill Max too, although she doesn't call them that. I love them! Very challenging and different. Today was killer! I did most of the pushups on my knees but got through...

Our recovery week is supposed to be no heavy weights. Your muscles need to rest and recover before shocking them again in Meso 2. I've heard that Cardio and yoga are fine. Personally I'm thinking of maybe 3 cardio days and 2-3 yoga days. That should give me the fix I need but while letting my...

I just checked WalMart online and the price is now $97 vs $79. I got mine before Christmas. Maybe Cathe 's STS sale has driven up demand for the tower. Haha! Cool...

Mine was $79 from WalMart. $88 w tax & shipping. ;)

LOL! I love my wine too...and sometimes even a beer. And I'm always making skinny-drinks. Those are my fave...low cal versions of martinis and margaritas. But I am usually good about stopping at 2. Drinking can quickly negate all of our hard work. But everything is ok in moderation...that's my...

I jinxed myself yesterday when I told a friend that I wasn't too sore after legs in week 1. After week 2 legs yesterday, I was sore this morning. Then it got progressively worse throughout the day...I could literally feel the DOMS setting in. My quads, hamstrings, and glutes are fried. Good...

Carolyn - My 2.5 yr old daughter is in full-time daycare. So she's at school on the days I work at home. I couldn't work at the intensity I do with kids at home. And my manager wouldn't think too much of it either, I would suspect. I know some people do it, but I can't imagine I could be...

ab circuits I have STS Ab Circuits and I love it. The workouts are 15-20 minutes long, so I tend to use them on shorter cardio days. They are PERFECT add ons for HiiT days, or other 30-40 minute cardio days. I try to keep my workouts right around an hour, since any longer seriously...

Great ideas! Definitely more cycling...although I suspect that may already be part of Cathe's plan, based on a post I read maybe a month ago. ;) Kettlebells would be a fun change too, although as someone else said, she uses a couple of the moves already...especially in the newest LISeries...

Running is great for cardio days! Most cardio works our legs, since the lower body stuff is really what gets the heart pumping. Just do what feels good to you on cardio days...anything to get the heart rate up and burn some calories. :) Today is my cardio day, but I'm not sure what I'm...

I'm thinking the 72 hours of rest is really rest...like no work. But when we work back and tris in Meso 1, the other muscle groups are involved as well. So they are not truly at rest. For example, chinups, with your palms facing your body...that calls the bis into play as well. And all those...

just ordered my slanter risers! Thanks for the tip! I just ordered mine for $30 delivered! This was one of the things I had always held off on buying, since you can do without. But since it was such a good deal, and I'm going into week 2 of STS, I thought it would be a nice addition...

I finally decided to buy one too, now that I'm getting STS for Christmas...woohoo! But it seems to be sold out on Cathe.com, Amazon, and I could not find it on Sports Authority's website either. But I found it for $79 on Walmart's website! And they do free shipping to store. I wasn't crazy...

I tried the Trisets Upper Body Split today, and WOW! It is very different from any other upper body workout that Cathe has done...or atlest the ones that I have, and I have a LOT! I loved it! (But I love them all...each for their own reason.) It's refreshing to have such an AWESOME mix of...

LOL! I am so glad I'm not alone. Motrin helped a bit, along with extra walking around the office on purpose. But it's still pretty sore. I'm hoping to try Athletic Training tonight, because the reviews are driving me crazy! I'm so anxious. And yesterday I had to preview a couple of the...

I did this Lower Body Split on Monday night, and my glutes are STILL killing me!!! (It's now Wednesday morning.) I was in a time-crunch that night, but needed a lower body workout, and my DVDs had just arrived, so I gave it a shot. I too was thinking that 39 minutes might not give me the fix...

It makes my day that everyone loves it. And a 3 mile run and Yoga Relax helped some too. :)
