    Low Impact HIIT One & Two

    It's part of Ripped with HiiT so I'm guessing that the entire rotation in workout manager is all you would get. Generally it's recommended you do HiiT workouts no more than twice per week.

    Ripped w/HiiT vs. Xtrain

    I'm finishing up another round of STS and I'm trying to decide which of these series to purchase. I finished the Strong and Sweaty series a while back. Just wondering what you would say are the key differences between these two and what you noticed as far as results? Also, I prefer a 3 month...

    STS/ RwH

    After looking at it... seems like A LOT of plyo. Which I'm okay with in small doses but maybe not that much? Yikes

    STS/ RwH

    I finished doing 6 months of STS back in November and it finally got my body comp back to where it was (divorce and life drama took a toll for 2 years). Right now I'm 2 weeks into the month long Strong and Sweaty rotation, with the original plan of doing STS Meso 2 and 3 after. Now I'm wondering...

    STS & Horizontal Conditioning

    Just a note on nutrition ... I started round 2 of STS in September and decided to throw Whole 30 in there during meso 1. Let me tell you ... game changer! It was so significant people I hardly knew noticed a difference. I was back to just my usual paleo food plan for meso 2, but for meso 3 I"m...

    STS & Horizontal Conditioning

    I have two HC's. Haven't done them in a while but they are very intense on the upper body. What about the ab circuits that came with STS? I just finished week 2, round 2. Started in May because due to life I'd gotten incredibly out of shape. So I went back to STS and this time did HiiT and...

    STS and beachbody cardio

    I am using Cathe's HiiT. Twice a week I do something from the original Hiit or Low Impact HiiT. And on the other day it's Afterburn. I also have ICE Low Impact Sweat I'll do occasionally. That combination worked really well for me the first round of STS I did in May. I'm now on round two of STS...

    Recommendations for workout headband?

    My daughter needs a headband to keep her hair back during gymnastics, but we haven't found anything that will actually stay in place. Any recommendations of what we could try?

    STS and beachbody cardio

    I don't have those cardios or a schedule, but I'm on another round of STS. I did it when it came out in '09, a few since then then not for a few years. I'd put on some weight so started it in May. Finished the program, took two weeks off and am finishing meso 1 this week. I've had the best...

    Help me with a Yoga Rotation!

    I did the entire UY w/ Travis in 108 days. I eventually got used to him and stopped laughing. The other one I have is Yoga Warrior with Rudy Mettia (also under Udaya). Rudy and Travis are very different instructors but I like them both and it just depends what kind of a mood I'm in. Rudy is like...

    More risers for my step?

    The FIRM!! I actually found Cathe from the FIRM so forever grateful :) I have to say - looking at those first two original w/ Janet Jones Gretzky and the other woman I don't remember ... it's like listening to porn! Bwhahaha! Play it Again Sports and Amazon are great ideas. I found a plyo box...

    More risers for my step?

    I thought Cathe used to sell additional risers for the step - and can't find them. I used to have the old High Step from The Firm (age is showing here), but we had a basement flood and the wood-type material it was made of got ruined. Any ideas of where I could find additional risers?

    STS and Whole30

    It's a 30 clean eating program. They have a web site. I usually eat Paleo so I didn't think it would be a huge deal. Done it (or tried to) before. Basically protein, veggies and good fats and some fruit. No sugar or any kind (including honey), no dairy, grains, soy, legumes...

    STS and Whole30

    I'm doing STS again - Meso 3 week 2. And I'm on day 10 of whole30. I have absolutely NO appetite. From looking at the forums it's normal but I know i need to eat! I'm doing 3 days of STS and 3 days of HiiT or other cardio. This week I've choked down about one "meal" a day. When I started I...

    Is Yoga a complete workout to you?

    I tried! About two years ago I purchased Ultimate Yogi 108 and completed the whole thing in almost exactly the specified time. Honestly, my back felt awesome and it did show me how hard yoga can be. However, after going through a rough period the last year I put on some weight. After messing...

    Low Impact Cardio suggestions

    Thanks for the suggestions! It's a hard reality to admit I can't do high impact anymore!! When I was trying to decide what to choose it was tough - all of her workouts are awesome! I really hadn't done Cathe in probably two years at least ... just doing Yoga 108 and Warrior 365. But I miss how...

    Low Impact Cardio suggestions

    I'm on my fourth round of STS. I know i need to get in three solid days of cardio so I don't bulk up. After finishing the first Mesocycle doing HiiT the realization is ... at 44 my back can't handle the high impact. It's my recovery week so I'll be doing yoga. But by the time it's meso 2 time...
