I haven't had a chance to do any more than a a couple of the recovery workouts from STS 2. Before the chaos of getting ready to move, however, I'd been doing strength training with Cathe (her many other workouts) and I lift light. I'm interested in lifting heavier, and recently someone on this...

We only have the one fridge, but we have a deep freeze in the basement. Sounds like you store your produce about the same way I do. Except, I haven't tried the paper towel thing. Our farmer's market just opened up this week and I bought lettuce, kale, chard, and leaf lettuce. I think I'm going...

Thank you!!!

Thanks for the good wishes on our new home. :) Fresh produce takes up a lot more room than we expected when we started eating more of (years ago). Closest grocery store that has organic, non-gmo, and "clean" food is 45 minutes away, so we only shop once a week - which stuffs our poor fridge. We...

I am with you on the whole joint friendly workouts. I consider myself fortunate, because I do not (and hopefully won't have issues with my knees), but I have learned on this forum that many others have knee issues. My wrists, however, are shot. I also have weak ankles, but have found that adding...

I think four is great! My son is disabled, and it took forever to teach him how to do a push-up on his knees. Once he learned, I started having him do 1 a day to transition from one of his physical therapy positions to the next. I was so proud of him that I told my dad about it. Dad said, "well...

I need to get one. I had one for a week, but my husband kind of stole it. He lifts heavier, so he needs it more than I do. When I get around to getting a new one, though, it's going to be mine. I love my husband, but he's a disorganized slob. It takes forever to get myself set up for a workout...

I don't have one, but at my old home, we did. We didn't build it that way. The previous owners did. Unfortunately they relied on a more standard sized fridge than we do, so the fridge we wanted to put there (from the home we were moving from) would not fit. For 13 years, I had to deal with a...

Thanks Debinmi! I have thought about seeing if I can take a peek at the floor underneath. The inspector suspects it subfloor, because there's evidently a crawl space underneath it. I didn't know there was a difference in the puzzle-mats, so thanks for letting me know, because I wasn't too...

Debinmi, you gave an excellent answer to dww's question - very informative, and I'd forgotten how much time my husband took to get ready for the first STS with the 1 rep stuff. He really enjoyed all of the prep work. It kind of mentally psyched him up for the whole thing. Me... I would have felt...

I own both, but have yet to do either. The first STS was purchased for my husband, while the second was bought for both of us. I've only done a few of the recovery workouts on the new STS, because we're moving, so I can't start a rotation right now. I'm responding with the one tiny piece of info...

This is the last info I heard on the topic. "Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans." If you look into it, though, they'll also mention that 150...

It's a great question, according to my chiropractor. Years ago, I asked him that same question, because the roller he gave me hurt. If you have a stability ball, you can kind of arch your back over it and rock it around a bit for a slight fascial release. You can also use a massage ball or...

Aqua Girl, it is just a small "blip", but I found it bothersome due to the type of workout it is. I don't notice things like that when I'm active, but I found it extremely distracting in the stretch workout. You might want to do the stretch workout before deciding against replacement. It didn't...

I use mine a bit on the soft side (less inflated) too for the same reasons as Hazlady.

My husband tried it years ago. He dropped a few pounds, but gained them when he stopped doing his intermittent fasting. He didn't eat anything after supper, until lunch the next day. He didn't really get hungry, because he had a desk job, and he didn't exercise until evening (after supper). He...

I agree, but if I remember right... I'm thinking I saw a video of how to use Cathe's door anchors. I'm almost thinking that they slip through the hinge side of the door? I could be wrong about that. I was having very low iron level issues back when all the STS 2.0 videos were coming out, so I...

The door anchor is fine. Cathe designed the series so that we can work out with what we have. I don't have a door anywhere near my living room (open floor plans aren't as great as one would think). So, I had a choice between using bands by themselves or using anchors. I have wrist issues. In...

Thanks you for asking this. I used to be able to get by with doing abs twice a week. I'm at a point in my life now, however, where my body is at its best when I do them 3 times a week. I really lose ground whenever I try to reduce it, which I've tried to do several times, because I really...
