If your focus is on strength training, I'd suggest STS. Because there are three mesocycles and a lot of variety each week within each mesocycle in terms of the numbering and ordering of the drills, it'll keep you occupied for a loooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg time. And make sure you get the...

Portable squat rack. And/or Push-Pull Tower. A-Jock

I think you should go with your instincts and do FitnessFreak's rotation. She really is a strength training monster! A-Jock

Thank YOU, Miss Cathe, for your warm sentiments and your vote of confidence. I am also already anticipating an announcement for a delicious new nosebleed series! (hint, hint, wink, nudge) (something with those new wonderful Mountain Climber Lunge Kicks, and a revival of Butt Kick Lunges from...

Thanks for not noticing that I misspelled your name, Bubule. Love, A-Jock

Are you not blessed? A-Jock

If you like Low Impact Circuit, I'd suggest High Step Challenge from the Hard Core series (similar cardio / resistance cycle format, and can be easily modified to low impact if that's what you prefer) and Low Max also from the Hard Core series; Low Max is an entirely low-impact step workout with...

@JanieJoey, DebbieH, KadetKim, lala1, EarlyExerciser39, Jaypea, JAFitMama, and Rapidbreath - THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSES AND ENCOURAGEMENT! And my Beeloved Jo-Jo . . . we must needs have a Meating after you and Booley come back from the RT! Love, A-Jock

Denise, I'm very flattered at your question! However, I find it far more gratifying to interact with my Cathlete sisters than attempt to reach a broader audience; you Cathletes understand me and my quest for fitness far more than the general population. There is that old saying: "When the...

Any time, honey, any time. You're welcome to PM me too if you wish, under goforagoal user name. May you be granted the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, the courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom to know the difference - one day at a time. Love, A-Jock

I'm also late coming to this party. Belated birthday greetings, Cathe! Hope you had a wonderful day, may you have many more, and all the best for your Glassboro Road Trip! Love, A-Jock

To Brenda / Serene46, Allison / NurseMommy, Winter, Caseysmomgo, and Robin / rjroubi: Thank you all so much for your warm words. Go out and make it a great healthy day. I remain eternally grateful to Cathe herself for #1 creating workouts that are actually enjoyable to do despite (or perhaps...

Kariev, thank you so much for your response. Like you, I have several relatives who also have alcoholism, some of whom (notably my mother and father) have been sober for many years, and others of whom are either still in the throes of the condition or who died before their time after grappling...

Cher54, thank you so much for your response. I've often toyed with the idea of creating a "Sobah Sistah's Check-In" on the Check-In forum for we Cathletes who are committed both to sobriety and physical fitness, with the best physical fitness producer in the business. One day at a time...

This past week I marked 23 years of absolute sobriety and abstention from alcohol. This has been a year of one tiny personal triumph, two profound tragedies within my family and the confrontation of my great life's failure which has left me humbled but also with a renewed resolve to do more and...

In addition to RunninTeach's suggestions, Google the entertainment weekly "Creative Loafing" for a veritable avalanche of entertainment and cultural suggestions. My younger brother was the cultural editor for this publication for several years. Also look up Dookie Chase's restaurant (limited...

Thanks, peeps! Do you find you indeed get better rates if you get a trip quote that bundles the air fare, hotel/motel and car charges? Or is really only a time savings in the end? @Upnorthchick: I think you're right about going with Delta for reliability. They did acquire Northwest Airlines...

Greetings, Cathletes - I find I am going to have to book a trip on short notice in the next 5-7 days, and I really don't have it in me to fart around with individual vendors for plane tickets, motel / hotel and car. Do any of you have any opinions if Travelocity is better than Expedia.com...

Maison St. Charles. My brother and his bride had the wedding guests stay there during the wedding weekend. The rooms are intimate and nicely appointed, and the grounds are old-style New Orleans charm (in fact, my SIL had her bridal photos taken on the grounds of the Maison, and let's just say...

I personally think that is a great strategy. I also think, if you were experiencing good muscle definition with the STS program, return to it, or at least the mesocycle that produced the best results. OR, if you did STS as produced the first time, next time go to the STS Undulating...
