This thread makes a great point. Success begets success, so the little ones are just as important as the big ones. Congrats to everyone who's posted their own successes here so far. My little success is that I seem to have successfully undone the damage I did over the holidays. When I...

Sorry, this is long... I haven't done any Tracy Anderson workouts (although I did get her Dance Aerobics DVD as a birthday gift last week; it looks really fun, upon previewing), but from what I understand there are some mixed reviews on her "Method" and a lot of controversy over her business...

A banana sliced lengthwise with about 1T of PB and about 1/2t of honey on top. Loves it!

My HRM says I burned 466 calories when I did this workout last month. I've only done it the one time, and I was definitely challenged by it. But, I knew even before buying/doing it there was NO WAY the average person would burn anywhere close to 1000 calories doing a 1 hour workout. It's a...

I am exactly the same way, and it's such a relief to commiserate with others who deal with this. Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one and it's AWFUL. Generally, I find I do best in controlling my cravings by simply doing a little planning. If I decide in advance that once a week, like...

I'd like to hear some pointers or notes for people who are doing the 6 month version of STS. I, for one, am planning to do the 3 month version the first time through, starting on March 1st; however, I am still curious to know how doing the 6 month would differ in terms of development and...

I'm thinking I'll start in the first week of March, too. I'm excited to preview, but I knew I wanted to take my time and do my 1 rep max tests over the course of a week or so, while I was previewing, and I just got my STS on Tuesday. Plus, I've been off my game with working out lately, so I...

I have one that I got to help me prepare for/use in STS. I got mine at Bed Bath & Beyond, as well. I used one of the $10 off coupons they send out, so it was only about $20 after that. I leave mine up all the time and it feels sturdy and safe. I recommend!

Just as I suspected... The quiz told me I'm a meso-endo too, which is what I'd thought. Looks like we're all in the same boat. Fun quiz, and somewhat helpful to get a second opinion on the matter, since it helps with my approach to nutrition and training. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Thanks for your input! Indeed, I figured the shock to my muscles from the constant changes in STS would be a help to weight loss, but it's always nice to hear input from others. Congrats on your weight loss! That's amazing. I lost about 45# a few years ago and more or less kept it...

I'm hoping no one has already posted this, so sorry if this has already been answered in another thread. I'm in the process of trying to lose about 15# to 20#. I'm really excited for STS, but am wondering if it's alright to use STS as my stength training once it arrives, while I am still...

Wow, I just have BC and ME recorded from FitTV, but this thread is making me want to buy the real version for this bonus premix alone. Is it wrong that hearing about a nausea-inducing premix makes me jealous? Looks like I'm off to eBay to try to find a used copy on the cheap!

Are you near a SportsChalet? I was at one last weekend and saw loads of Cathe's new equipment. It looked like they had just about everything they have on cathe.com, except for the DVDs.

This is so helpful; I'm glad I found this thread. I've wondered where to get the bar Cathe uses in the video. Mine has threaded collars, so it's really annoying when I need to change plates during a routine-- especially when I'm doing PUB or PLB. Can anyone tell me if this bar is the...

Thanks y'all! I appreciate all the helpful input you guys. But, who am I kidding? I know I'll probably end up with both DVDs, in the end. It's only a matter of time and money before I eventually talk myself into buying each of Cathe's workouts. I need 'em all! Just did B&G Premix #3 this...

Hi Jacque, I do have Step Blast (kind of... I recorded it off FitTV!), and I actually have to do it tonight for the rotation I'm on. Now I can look forward to doing it for the first time. If I love it, maybe I'll have to take the plunge and get the DVD, since it has SJ&P on it, too. Thanks...

I'm trying to decide if I want to pick up one of these compilations DVDs of Cathe's old step routines, and am wondering if I could get some input on which set people like better. I already have Rythmic Step+ (which includes MIC and the original Interval Max), most of Cathe's interval based step...

Thanks for the breakdown of all the DVDs, and good idea to simply repeat the leg work sections!

This question is for those of you who are fairly well acquainted with Jari Love and her DVDs. I'm thinking of doing a rotation with her Get Ripped! series just for a little change, and was wondering if anyone can tell me which videos have a good amount of attention paid to lower body exercises...

I don't really want to shell out the money for the full CTX DVD set, when all I really want is Leaner Legs. I've been unable to find a copy of it on eBay or anywhere else, so I'm wondering if one of you friendly forum folks might want to part with your old copy of it. I realize it would be on...
