    Invisible 50s

    Yes, I don't get the "looks" like I used to in my say 20's, but I think that's because by our age now (I'm 50), we aren't either "on the market" or we're just everyday people. I don't spend my time looking at alot of people either..unless they're weird! haha. Usually, I get noticed more (i.e...

    Structured Procrastination

    Procrastination is depressing, isn't it? Right now, I'm looking into starting a couple of projects at work and I'm procrastinating because the tasks are daunting, but I finally started it today because the new year is coming and my boss and I are discussing MY goals for 2013 so that makes me...

    Holy "Structure" Batman!! with WW

    Well, I decided I needed some good ole' STS structure. This program always gives me what I need to really get "structured". I always work out, no problem, have all Cathe dvds (just about;)) and watch what I eat. However.....since I turned 50, something has happened to my body and I DON'T...

    Need motivation from the 50yr olds.....

    Krista, I'm just like you. I start doing good and think I can eat anything. Well, you can for a while before it catches up with you. I'm 50 and worked out forever mostly with Cathe. I love how I feel when I'm done so just think of that. Plus I love to eat so...working out is a must!:cool...

    It's a disease

    You are too funny. You will get whatever sounds good until you have what you want..just like me and everyone else! I don't have some of the originals you mentioned but have IMAX 2 & 3. You can do those I think. Low impact circuit is one of my favorites and low max isn't complex choreography but...

    How to get out stains in carpet

    My husband has owned a carpet cleaning business for over 20 years - hot water extraction, truck-mounted unit. He normally recommends for a safe spot cleaner - a little detergent and water - either Dawn dishwashing liquid or like an ERA (non-bleach). You don't need alot of detergent because it...

    Cathe workouts you HAVE NOT tried

    I don't have Slow & Heavy series, but have Gym Style so don't feel the need. I don't have the early, early stuff, don't like Body Max (original) - got rid of it because it was too hard and too long!! Of course, it was on VHS so there weren't the magic premixes like today;) But, I have...

    1RM Testing: Am I Doing This Right?

    Definitely do all your one rep tests before starting STS all together. That makes your program all set up for you to do STS 1,2, and 3. I did mine over a couple of days. I tried to mix up the muscle groups so I wouldn't fatigue one too much. Just round up the numbers if you think that's a...

    Muscles Not Firm

    Just wanted to post one last thing here about the "Muscles Not Firm" topic. It's a pretty simple point and that is when you are doing your weights, Cathe always says to "SQUEEZE" your muscle. I have found that if you really concentrate on that you will see more defined muscles. Whether it be...

    Muscles Not Firm

    Finally- someone that's just like me - but made it work with weight watchers. Interesting. I might sign up or get my daughter involved (who really needs it). I am going to cut alcohol out and also trim the calories every day to see how it goes. Your weight is definitely my goal weight...

    Muscles Not Firm

    Good thread - I see Cross Fit mentioned everywhere I turn. There is actually a place near me, but I don't think it's for me. With that being said, I do agree that you have to get the most out of your workouts, and give it 110% to get results. For me, usually more cardio will work. I did good...

    Muscles Not Firm

    It sure is nice to hear others have the same problem. Definitely not the answer by not working out because when I don't, I don't feel good and I start putting on weight. I have about 5 lbs. to lose, but it never budges. I just keep losing/gaining the same two lbs. I probably workout 25 of the...

    Muscles Not Firm

    Wow - what a timely post! I'm turning 50 in a few weeks and workout hard..I eat pretty healthy, but I'm beating myself up about anything I should not be putting in my mouth, etc. I, too, have been working out for years and try to figure out what works. I just did STS and while I usually don't...

    I lift things up and put them down!

    ;) I just finished up the last of my STS Meso 3 disks which included the squat rack series. Yay!:eek: Every time I went to my workout basement area (and was anticipating the heavy weights) I said "I lift things up and put them down" ...just like the Planet Fitness commercial where they...
