    If anyone's tried Meso 2 Legs...

    I'd love to hear about it!! I've a feeling those tri-sets are much, much tougher than they look! Thanks! :)

    I am having DOMS several days after

    Disc 7 contains all the pushup segments from Discs 1 and 4, plus some NEW variations as well. I have not done disc 7 yet, but it's on tap for Saturday. I've been studying the workout card, so I know what to expect. As for DOMS, nothing has given me more DOMS than discs 5 and 6. And I...

    Crew?

    Jai is in 8 of meso 1's 12 workouts, and Cedie is in the legs workouts from meso 1, and Brenda is in Chest, Shoulders and Bis from meso 1. In previewing, I noticed that Cedie is in the back and biceps workouts in meso 2, the leg workouts in meso 2, and the triceps and biceps workouts in...

    Which of the Classics would you recommend learning first

    I would start with Step Max, then go to Step Heat, and then save Step Jam for last. Step Jam is my favorite of the three. I enjoy all three of these. Step Heat is a bit shorter than the other two, (actually, I think Step Jam is fairly long, at 47 min, not counting warm up or cool down), but...

    I actually like Kick Max

    That is the perfect way to describe the workout - "graceful." I like Kick Max because it's like three workouts in one - the first part is like a non-weighted upper body workout; then there's the crazy-intense blast challenge section, which works the heart; and then the lower body drills work...

    ab circuits

    That is so funny - I've been looking everywhere for the specific Ab Circuit workout lengths, and they were right in front of my face the entire time!!!

    Life on Mars cancelled?

    It wouldn't surprise me. And yet "Knight Rider" was probably renewed for yet another season.

    STS Check in Disc 8

    I, too, love those days!! Gotta tell you something, Cathe! Yesteday I went to D!ck's Sporting Goods to buy some 25# plates for my barbell. In any event, I was in line, holding one 25# plate in each hand, and there were two customers ahead of me. When it was my turn, I set the plates on the...

    Hi Cathe

    Not Cathe - obviously! - but I just wanted to pop in to say "Hi, Joanne!!!," and to second Jo-Jo's sentiments regarding STS. I have never, ever had such fun with weight workouts! STS is very challenging - and I'm only in week 3 of the first mesocycle! - but there's no dread factor whatsoever...

    STS CHECK IN ....DISC 6

    Awesome recap, Cathe - thanks! I found the one-legged sit and stands to be the toughest exercise of the bunch. I'm **hoping** my balance and form improve with time. And there seemed to be so many 'low end' exercises in disc 6 - yowza!! It's like every move found a new way to blast the...

    My only problem with STS

    I'm surprised you guys think Greg acts as though he's 'all that.' I just think he's a fit dude who looks like he's working hard. But he also looks like he's enjoying himself. That's what I love about Cathe and her crew - they all look as though they are working hard, but they look like...

    My only problem with STS

    Which guy are some of you ladies opposed to? Is it Greg? He gets the most screen time, but I personally think that's because he has the most endurance and best form. I like him. I like Robert a lot, too (dimples!). And Stuart - he makes me smile during the leg workouts - he really looks like...

    What workout do you want Cathe...

    Copied from another thread: MMA Imax 4 Low Max 2 KP&C 2 Step Blast 2 or Rhythmic Step 2 (with a bonus segment of 3 or so intervals to be used for premix purposes for the days when we're looking for more than steady state cardio). I'd love to see a DVD comprised of two workouts; state...

    My only problem with STS

    Amy: Hello. In speaking with some SNM folks during the '08 RT, I learned that the men in the STS crew typically ended their sets before the women did (especially in the muscle endurance meso) so while the camera angle may show all participants at the beginning of the set, it will often cut to...

    cathe next project?

    I'd love to see: MMA Imax 4 Low Max 2 KP&C 2 Step Blast 2 or Rhythmic Step 2 (with a bonus segment of 3 or so intervals to be used for premix purposes for the days when we're looking for more than steady state cardio). I'd love to see a DVD comprised of two workouts; state step and...

    Toughest STS Disc For You...So Far

    Good to hear from you, Sherry! Girl - you have me worried because you smoke me when it comes to pushups! So if you found disc 7 to be tough, I'm gonna find it darned near impossible!! P.S. - with disc 3 I had DOMS in my glutes and hammies, but not too bad. Well, yesterday I did disc 6...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 5...

    STS - disc 5. And I thought disc 2 was tough - hah! Well, yes, disc 2 was tough, but not nearly as tough as disc 5!! My DOMS are still with me - 2 days later! I think the toughest part of disc 5 (aside from the chin ups/pull ups which are so tough that I don't do them!) is the supersets -...

    What are your favorite foreign fims?

    Or that creepy Korean movie "A Tale of Two Sisters." I heard it was made into an Amercian movie, but I can't be sure. If anyone's seen "The Vanishing" (with Keifer Sutherland and Sandra Bullock), the original Dutch film is way scarier, in my opinion.

    What are your favorite foreign fims?

    Speaking of foreign horror movies... Please, go see the Swedish movie "Let The Right One In," before the U.S. remake comes out (I hear it's already in production). Oh - and this isnt' a horror movie, but has anybody see "Rabbit Proof Fence"? I'm pretty sure that was the title. Another very...
