    Insanity Max30

    Sounds like the general consensus maybe not to do these every day. Are the workouts structured in a way that you could only do 15 minutes and as add-on on weight training days?

    Help with dvd choices

    For your cardio only days is this going to be more steady state? I'm assuming you have a step? For weights are your goals to increase strength or just to maintain muscle? Do you want total body into 25 minutes or are you wanting to do a split??

    Has anyone done this rotation exclusively? Results? If not, how did you rotate it with other workouts? Thanks!

    What DVD blasts away the most calories?

    The workouts that first came to mind for me are X10 and Tabatacise.

    Low Impact Cardio suggestions

    I think Athletic Training is more lifting than cardio. Afterburn is a favorite of mine I also really like the ICE Low Impact Sweat and ICE Rock 'em Sock 'em Kickbox. Another idea to consider is to alternate STS weeks with weeks where you do STS Total Body (or Muscle Max) twice a week...

    How is this athletic but not bulky look achieved?

    I've done some reading on this topic and the basic "facts" I got was that thickness/bulk is from high volume whether the volume be from many reps, many sets and/or working the same body part a few times per week, ie. the frequency of workouts. And, that strength can be gained without the bulk...

    Slip Covers for couch, loveseat and ottoman

    I have a bulky dark green couch, love seat and ottoman in my finished basement. We're going to be painting the boring beige walls and getting new carpet. I don't know what wall color to go with. The room is a very large, (long and narrow configuration) and multi-purpose with separate...

    Outdoor Enthusiasts (Utah area or other) Question

    Park City definitely looks pretty, but possibly a bit too much snow for me and possibly too touristy from what I've read so far (??) I don't ski, but could learn.

    Outdoor Enthusiasts (Utah area or other) Question

    We had a great time in Zion! I loved the lack of humidity but it was darn hot!! Hubby and I are still searching for an eventual retirement place to settle in the next few years. Not sure I can take that heat, but we really hate humidity. Can handle a little snow but def don't want cloudy and...

    STS-ish Question

    Doing Gym Styles like that is another thought, thanks for the suggestion. I could even do the Timesaver premixes as well since they are less sets and usually omit the band work.

    STS-ish Question

    I'm assuming you mean 10 minutes ultra hiit the same day as strength training?? Did the Nia Shanks program do HiiT and/or any steady state cardio? I'm going on vaca soon but plan on doing Meso 3 plus some HiiT when I return. I also have a new goal to run a faster 5K and I have a program for...

    STS-ish Question

    Thanks for the replies. Justine, thanks for the article. I have read about 5x5 training before. I feel I have been in a "hypertrophy" phase all my life since starting Cathe since for me, her rep schemes are all about the same, give or take a few dvds. I was reading alot about how muscle size...

    STS-ish Question

    If Meso 1 is Endurance, Meso 2 is Hypertrophy and Meso 3 is Strength, could I conceivably get strength without the size aka "bulk" by just doing Meso 3? (I'm asking from the perspective of a seasoned Cathlete, not a beginner exerciser).
