This morning was Ultimatum Red + Turbo Barre abs & stretch only. Planned doubles is RwH Low Impact HIIT 2. That's a good question Nathalie. And I have thought about how I will maintain the results. I'm not sure yet. I will probably continue to work my lower body 2x a week and supplement with...

I just discovered these headbands a few months ago and they are the best thing I have ever used. They don't move. They don't keep sweat out of my eyes tho! I have to use a towel for that! http://www.prettystrongheadbands.com/

You should rest it. The same thing happened to me my second time through STS (2013-2014). I had planned to do the full 12 weeks, then come back and repeat Meso 2 & 3 again immediately. I got through the 12 weeks fine (so all 3 mesos), but in the middle of my second round of Meso 2, my wrist got...

This morning was STS #23 Legs + 100 rep hip thrusts. Today's workout seemed the hardest of all the lower body workouts in Meso 2 and I loved it! Probably because I increased my weights on every exercise. My legs and glutes are still protesting! Planned doubles is Xtrain AOLIH premix 6. I didn't...

Nathalie--so next week starts Meso 1 for you? I bet you're excited! I have the compendium (several versions of it!), plus I already have all of the premixes listed in each of my reviews. What I am looking for (well, looking no longer, I'm practically finished) is the actual muscle group break...

Good morning! This morning I did STS #22 Chest, Shoulders & Triceps + Muscle Endurance abs & stretch only. Planned doubles is HIIT #3 Pyramids. THIS is my favorite hypertrophy week. I love those drop sets. In fact, the shoulder portion is so intense yet so quick, that would be a great one to...

Yesterday I did EBE2 Plyo Legs + Plyo Upper Body + STS Extended Stretch. We also went for a long bike ride. This morning was The Firm: Power Yoga. Svetlana--thanks so much for posting the time breakdowns! Very useful! I investigated the breakdowns on quite a few other Cathe workouts and have...

Welcome Tracy! EBE2 is Edge Extreme Booty 2 (https://ingridromero.com/edge-booty-extreme-2/) which is an intense strength program that focuses on the glutes. **Edit--in case you''re interested, I also reviewed it on my blog: EBE2. I'm on my 3rd round of STS and about to finish week 3 of Meso 2.

This morning was Crossfire + Core. Nathalie--those Versa Grips look very useful. I'll have to check them out. That heavy barbell does hurt my hands and it is only getting heavier in Meso 3! I am not actually going to do the Hammer & Chisel workouts Beachbody posted for streaming. I am only...

This morning was STS #21 Back & Biceps; planned doubles is Butt Bible Level 3 Lower. And the callouses are building again! I remember this from the last few times I did STS--it tears up my palms, even with gloves on. Today I was barbell rowing and deadlifting 85 pounds (which is heavy for me!)...

Nathalie--I love Cathe's workouts and there is no dread factor to her workouts, but the truth is, they are not the same as EBE2. They just aren't. You are getting something different with EBE2. And regardless of whether it is fun or not, it is definitely hitting the glutes hard. And in Meso 2 I...

I hear you Jodi--BB lower body workouts are hard. And zero fun-factor. I agree--it needs to be fun or else it doesn't keep you coming back. I do like BB's upper body workouts a lot. I'll be honest--I have a bit of dread with EBE2 (my Saturday workouts). I'm not sure how often I will revisit...

Nathalie--that makes sense now and looks like it definitely kicks the plié squat up a notch! I will have to give that a try!

Thanks everyone for the well-wishes on the feet. They are currently doing much better. I dug up a box of old compression socks I wore for the first year or so after I started walking again. I did some research and found that apparently endurance athletes wear compression socks because they are...

This morning was STS #18 Back & Biceps and planned doubles is Butt Bible Level 3 Lower. Tom--I wish I was motivated to do paper programs. I love my workout DVDs but I actually read workout books that have these great programs I am interested in trying, but somehow when I do, I lose motivation...

Belinda--it probably sounds worse than it is. I re-read it and I don't do both Crossfire and TTM on Fridays. I am alternating them this Meso--so last week I did Crossfire and tomorrow I will do TTM (then next Friday Crossfire and so on). But generally, I workout approx. an hour every morning...

RobertaJJ--I always do cardio. I'm a doubles person as well. Right now I am doing cardio approx. 5x a week. I do one of Cathe's 30 minute HIIT workouts as a doubles workout on Monday, Wednesday morning is a metabolic workout (Ultimatum which is cardio + weights) and for doubles on Wed. I do...

I've never done it with the goal of losing weight. I am always trying (unsuccessfully) to lose 10 pounds regardless of whether I am in a program or not. But that comes back to doing the work in the kitchen! Anyway, I have had great results w/ STS--vastly increased strength. Muscle size and...

Right now I am doing core work 2-3 times a week.

I'm doing STS right now. Week 2 of Meso 2. It's my third round, too.
