    2011 NEW YEAR'S STS CHALLENGERS-WEEK OF 1/9

    2011 New Year's STS Challengers

    Morning! Cendrine: I'm interested too in knowing the benefits of dehydrating the protein bars. I don't know if I would have the patience for something like that!:o And all your talk about the vest is enabling me! Which one do you have? I'm thinking it would help me with the intensity...

    Please tell me about Rhythmic Step

    Believe it or not I have yet to attempt the other two workouts! It's so nice having the option of the downloads, especially if you don't think you'll do the others. Unfortunately I'm finding that some workouts that I've downloaded I'm thinking later of wanting the entire DVD.:confused:

    Please tell me about Rhythmic Step

    Julie, No worries! Thanks for taking the time to respond.:) I ended up purchasing a shin splint wrap from amazon but I had looked at the strap you have. That's good to know about the velcro - mine does the same thing. I should consider it again. Thanks again! Julie

    Anyone have a dyson?

    We have had the animal dyson for six years. We have two golden retrievers and it does a great job getting their never ending fur! We also had a Kenmore but when we got our first golden we quickly discovered it wasn't picking ANY of it up! The suction on the dyson is very strong, but you...

    2011 New Year's STS Challengers

    Hi Everyone! This morning I did two sessions of AM Yoga for Your Week. I feel like I am fighting off a cold so I'm thankful this is my active recovery week. So far I have only done the weighted abs and Pilates based abs from Ab Circuits. I didn't buy the DVD until recently though, so I...

    Please tell me about Rhythmic Step

    Funny you should ask, since I just attempted this one on Saturday. I had done the warm up a few times when I was doing my 1RMs for STS but never got past that. I really liked it, but for the life of me could not get down the second round! I don't know how many times I re-played it until I...

    2011 New Year's STS Challengers

    I am learning so much about STS just from hearing your stories. I figured going into this the first time would be like trial and error. I have neck pain too if I lift too heavy and on the legs there are just certain exercises for which I cannot do weights because of a knee issue (like the side...

    New Round STS to kickoff 2011 ? Who's in ?

    I have found Meso 1 to be pretty tough, but I have never been able to stick with a rotation for more than three weeks.:o I did the majority of the 1 RM tests, but made a big mistake in the beginning and only did 10 reps instead of as many as possible.:o I was so frustrated that I started...
