Hi ladies :cool: I was feeling a bit under the weather yesterday so I decided to hold off my w/o. I feel ok today and was able to get a very decent sleep (I also took a 1 1/2hr nap yesterday afternoon :eek:) so hopefully I will be able to go ahead with my scheduled w/o. Nancy You are far...

I am very fond of training with PDF files, as I have been doing it for 2+ months now. Nia's program was worth every penny, and I have absolutely 0 regrets. NONE. At first I thought I wouldn't like it and run back to DVD's, but NOPE, I LOVE IT :eek:. It is now my most preferred method to train...

Yes, this! ALL OF IT! The only way I would ever consider buying STS 2 is if the program was specifically designed for strength. I'm really into the heavy #'s at the 4-6 range these days :eek: and my body is responding perfectly too :D;). Oh, and foam rolling too! I would absolutely LOVE the...

Good morning everyone :) Yesterday I did this little doozy of a w/o :eek:: Jump Rope Cardio HIIT - Fitness Blender OMG *fried*. Do this with an actual jump rope and holy cow :eek:. Justina I have Beautiful Bad A$$ and yes I am doing the beginner program. I think everyone should start out with...

Hi ladies! So I have decided to do another 8 weeks of BBA beginner program, starting at phase 1 (increasing my weight #'s than what I originally used). Truth is that I'm LOVING, and I mean really LOVING this program SO DAMN MUCH :eek:. I have not been so excited to train since I found Cathe...

Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing well :). Bella has been pretty sick this past week with fever & cough :(. Her fever went away but this damn cough is SO persistent :mad:. The worst is at night when she's sleeping, poor kid :(. And poor mommy too, waking up frequently at night to check if she...

Hi ladies :) Bella has been sick w/fever for the past few days :(. She is getting up frequently at night which means little sleep for the both of us :(. I was supposed to do another de-load w/o today, but we'll have to see how I feel come 5pm when Mark get's home and can watch Bella. We did...

So did anyone try the new w/o's yet?! I'm anxious to read feedback :eek: Justina How is the standing desk working out for you, btw? If you do end up getting Nia's program, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how effective it actually is. WTG on doing some UB work while watching tv...

Hi everyone! I just did this jump rope interval w/o: Jumping Rope Workout - 18 Minute Cardio Interval Workout - YouTube If you do it with an actual rope, it's super hard! BTW, fitnessblender has some pretty tough cardio w/o's if anyone is interested. Nancy My w/o times can vary...

Hello ladies! Yesterday was the last day before my deload week. I was thinking that I would benefit from continuing the Beginner Rotation for another 2 months (using higher #'s from my 1st round). I really want to execute these basic compound movements with good form and get stronger at them...

Yes, this is true. Most people have "workout ADD" and quit/cut short a program before seeing any visible results. Here is a vid that I just watched recently that pretty much convinced me to stick to my current program for approx. 1 yr. : Do This Workout For ONE YEAR - YouTube (please be warned...

Hi there, I finished the Body Beast rotation a few months ago. If you love STS M2, you will probably love Body Beast, as they are both hypertrophy-based training. I won't really go into much detail about the program, as you can search youtube and Beach Body for all available info. Sagi also has...

I did a 100lbs sumo deadlift today!!!! :eek::eek::eek:. I can't describe the euphoria I felt picking that bad boy off the floor! Nia is totally right -- training for strength has a plethora of benefits, beyond "aesthetic". Every workout, I'm not just going through the motions. I have a goal...
