    Hi Sue - glad to hear you're not stressing about the weight-gain. I think its to be expected when first starting STS. You will definitely notice the changes in your body by the end of it. Maybe not your weight, but definitely your body will look more toned. And hey, when it comes to...

    Just as a little side point - I was watching a preview for Ilaria Powerstrike Kickboxing, and I couldn't help but be amazed by her abs - holy cow... impressive. Have you girls noticed an increased pressure on women to have six-pack abs? I'm not taking anything away from Ilaria for her...

    Good morning all - I've started a rotation of 4DS. Yesterday was Higher Intensity plus weights (back & chest). I was going to put off the workout but decided to do it, and really enjoyed it. I've never been able to match Cathe's weight selections on this workout, but yesterday I was able...

    Hey Tina - just saw your ?? about the new workouts (To the Max & CrossFire). I enjoy them a lot more than Athletic Training. I do enjoy Afterburn, but these workouts are also different from AB. I find that they move much faster and I really like the tabata drills & Hiits. CrossFire has some...

    Good morning girls - this morning was Afterburn. I really loved it. Especially because I was able to complete some of those moves I haven't been able to do in the past, and just crumpled on the ground in sheer exhaustion! There's a move where your feet are on the disks, and you drag yourself...

    Good morning girls - This morning was To the Max Extreme for me. I burned 570 calories - which is much lower than indicated on the WM. But I'm going by what my heart rate monitor tells me. I can't decide which one is tougher - Cross Fire Extreme or TTM Extreme. Somedays one is tougher...

    Hi girls - sorry I've been MIA for the past couple of days!! But I really appreciate ALL your input about my calories/TDEE etc! You girls really are an awesome support system! I felt that 1200 was too low, so I'm going to bump it up. I've visited several sites with TDEE calculators and...

    Hey Tina! That's great news about your mom. I hope she will be healthy for a long time. Did you have a nice celebration lunch? So I've been using myfitnesspal now for a few weeks and I really like it. In calculating how many calories I should be eating to lose weight, it says that I...

    Morning ladies - Sue - that's great self-control to say no to the chocolate bar. Its just not worth it!! Yesterday was Rhythmic Step. I upped the platform to 8 inches and put some air in the moves where Cathe keeps it low. I wanted to up my calorie burn. This morning was Circuit...

    Good morning! Sue - you sound really happy after completing the first STS disk - that's great! Why not just use a band/tube for the chin-ups/pull-ups? I can't remember exactly (maybe Tina can) but I think there is a demonstration of Cedie using the band. Tina - are you ok? It was really...

    Good morning! Tina - how are you doing? Are you getting blasted by the storm yet? I don't think we're going to get much impact here in Montreal - they are just predicting heavy winds, but that's it. Sue - have a great time with STS. You're going to love it, once you get used to the pace...

    Good morning girls! Shereta - I hope you're feeling better. Tackling CCC when you're not feeling great is a huge challenge, so awesome job! I gotta put that one in my rotation soon. Its tough, but effective. Do you find on paleo that you're eating less fruit? Tina - I can't believe...
