This sounds like an interesting rotation. I don't have any particular recommendations on how to structure it, but I think it's a great idea. Let us know what u come up with!!!

I love watching Jai's form, Lorraine's exuberance, Brenda's tenacity, Cedie's encouraging smile, and Amanda's strength. Cathe has an amazing crew. But, yes, when I need inspiration, I look to Jai.

Thx for responding Cathe!! It certainly gives me hope that even with a demanding life, I too, can have awesome abs. :-) I definitely have noticed a big difference in my body in terms of muscle definition once I started lifting heavy, particularly with STS. I just finished STS last month and I...

I love love love Gym Styles! These got me ready for STS. I'm gonna figure out a GS/XTRAIN/STS rotation one of these days.... :-)

The Hawaii set is my fave, followed by the NYC set. I like the XTRAIN set too but I would love the Hawaii set to be re-featured....

I've noticed this with Cathe too....she doesn't look as "cut" as she used to. Make no mistake, she looks awesome ("that girl is on fiiiiire!" A la Alicia keys), but her physique is different than it was, say, 5-10 yrs ago. Jai looks incredible though, and seems to look better now than ever...

Have to say, Jai looks incredible in CF/TTM and in XTRAIN. I want her abs and legs... And her shoulders. :-) Does anyone know what her eating plan and exercise regimen are? She's incredibly inspiring.

What is Jai's routine? Have to say, Jai looks incredible in CF/TTM and in XTRAIN. I want her abs and legs... And her shoulders. :-) Does anyone know what her eating plan and exercise regimen are? She's incredibly inspiring.

I'm also short (5'3") with a very muscular frame. (People always say that I'm "tiny" though...I'm like, who are they talking about?!) I had always been afraid of heavy weights bc I was scared that I'd look really really bulky. But STS made me an absolute devotee of heavy weights. I leaned out...

I can relate to everyone here. It's tough being a working mom (aren't all moms working moms, by definition? ;-), even more so if you're a single mom. Just wanted to offer my emotional support. :-) I don't know if I've hit upon the perfect recipe for balancing all of life's parts, but I basically...

I'm totally in love with XTRAIN too! I just started it this week do I haven't done a ton if the workouts but I'm loving what I've done so far. So challenging! I just finished STS a couple weeks ago and got great results from it so I'm super stoked to see what gains I'll see with XTRAIN. cathe is...

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH for preparing this!! :-)

I'm going to start XTRAIN today, but my plan is to run 3-4 days a week with the program. I'll probably do my runs (usually 30 min/3 miles) on the days when the XTRAIN workouts aren't as long. We'll see how it goes. :-)

Congrats to all! I started with cathe in 1998 and couldn't be happier that I did. I'm finishing up my last week of STS now and have loved it!!! Will do it again later on in the year.

Very sage advice. I've rested for about a week and a half, and while my arm is still a little sore, it does feel a lot better. I'm going to rest for a few more weeks and see how things go. I think my issue probably is more with my brachioradialis than my biceps. **sigh** it's so hard to rest but...

hello cathe and all! i am halfway through STS mesocycle 2 and now have biceps tendinitis! :-( i know that the best thing to do is to REST for 4-6 weeks and not lift, but that is going to be so hard! i don't want to lose the gains that i've made with STS. has anyone else had this? how did you...

Hi everyone! Long time no....post? Life has been busy...u know how that goes. I just finished mesocycle 1 this weekend! I'm looking forward to starting M2. When did you really start noticing changes in your body with STS? After all 3 mesocycles? Just curious. I'm seeing some changes but not...

Hi everyone! Jean, the broccoli bites recipe looks yummy!! If I can find a way to veganize it, that would be perfect! ;-) I will work on that.... My 4 yr old does eat broccoli but that's about the only veggie he will touch....he's a generally picky picky eater... Marie, your day sounded...

Hi Betty!! Glad to hear that I'm not the only sweets-aholic here!! ;-) I think you're right...there's something about fall/winter that just makes u want to bake pies and cookies...then promptly devour them! Thank goodness for Cathe's calorie busting workouts!! Soooo glad u got the cookbooks!! I...

hi everyone! carolyn, so sorry to hear about your knee! but hang in there, and know that this is just a temporary situation. you will come through surgery with flying colors! :-) missy, good luck on your 5Ks!! let us know how they go... thanks for everyone's input on the upright rows. i...
