    Pull up bar

    SnM - Are you going to ask us for feedback on a separate post? In any case, I prefer option #1. You've been using that style since the Pure Strength series and it has worked for many. Just my two cents, but I'll be happy with whatever you end up doing. :-)

    ((((((((((No Sweets week of Jan 28th))))))))))

    I got my back stretcher today and used it once. It's pretty easy at level 1 but I'll stay there for a couple of weeks before going up to level 2 just in case. My mom turned 70 today yikes. I was kind of sad because she didn't want to go out or do anything. It's just another day for her. I'm...

    I had such a good day today. I started my rotation again with Firm Vol 5 and I ate pretty clean. I went to my parent's house and they had fudge pops in the freezer. When I read the label they were 80 cals each and 0.5 g of fat, 3g of protein, 3g of fiber, and 10% of calcium so I had to have...

    Don't boys need to practice, too?

    lol! :7 I think we want to see the "boys" asap ha ha ha! The "boys" in Cardio Kicks and Circuit Max looked great and the "boys" in Bootcamp looked great as well. I don't think we'll be disappointed. Seriously now, I love that we get to have male cast members on STS, now I can show my guy...

    Cathe wearing glasses -- thanks!

    You look very pretty with glasses Cathe! I *also* wear glasses and lots of people tell me to get Lasik, but I thought it was a permanent solution. Now that I know that it's not I'm sticking with the glasses. Thanks for sharing!

    Rest day #3 for me. x( I'm not sleeping enough and when I finally fall asleep I get terrible nightmares. I had a nightmare last night where I was being kidnapped and taken to a foreign country and one of my friends was the one who sold me to the kidnapper... and I was trying to escape...I'm...

    Howdy ladies! :-) Well, my plans for a 2 week rotation have been on halt for two days (yesterday and today) because this is my second day with a migraine. A couple of minutes ago I ate something light so I can take my meds but I'm still waiting for them to kick in and I decided to rest again...

    working out and hair loss/thinning?

    Hi, I don't know if your question was for Cathe, but I suggest you post on the open forum so you can get more responses. I hope you don't mind if I jump in with a response. DHT stands for dihydrotestosterone which is a by product of testosterone (the male hormone). Testosterone is converted...

    Hi there! Affirm, I'm doing Volume 5 today. Volumes 1 and 3 yikes! No, I won't be doing those probably ever ha ha. My closet is full of those killers (I also have tough tape, standing legs, tough aerobic mix, etc. and I don't even think about picking them up lol!) I'm going to do...

    Things are good so far Affirm. I'm still waiting for the back stretcher I ordered. My Firms are really old. I have pretty much all of the Firm tapes from the early 90s when the Benson sisters were still doing tapes together (from the original Volumes up to the Crosstrainers and a couple of...

    MMA after the STS series....Interesting!

    MMA = Mixed Martial Arts and it's no joke! Every time I think Cathe can't come up with harder stuff she does. :P

    Hey ladies. Happy Friday! It's a rest day for me woo hoo. Yesterday I did another firm tape. Wow those are really helping me burn some fat without hurting my joints, but I surely miss Cathe. Tomorrow I'm going to start a two week rotation alternating firm (circuit training) tapes with low...

    Back exercises

    RE: Pull Ups? Thank you for posting this response regarding pull-ups. I am one of those that is truly worried about them. I have never ever been able to do a pull-up on my own. I am glad Cathe is going to show modifications and that you'll also have several suggestions for us regarding...

    Heath Ledger died

    Very sad indeed. I was in shock last night when I saw it on CNN. I suffer from chronic insomnia and according to my doctor insomnia can kill you (don't know how true that is though; consequences of insomnia maybe? I'll have to check that out). On an interview a couple of months ago Heath said...

    Woo freaking hoo Catherine! I'm so happy for you! I'm going to Walmart on Sunday to see if they have it. My mom is turning 70 on Feb 1. I doubt she'll drink tequila though. I can drink it for her lol! Haven't done that in a loooong time ha ha. Affirm I miss my Imaxes soooo much. I won't...

    I am being extremely careful. More than ever. I just have to do something even if it is a powerwalk for 30 mins, otherwise I can't sleep. I suffer from chronic insomnia and exercise helps me with that. Last week was awful for me, I tossed and turned on my bed every single night and even...

    Hey ladies. I go back to work tomorrow. Yesterday I did a short (and old) Firm tape with ultra light weights and no tall step exercises and I did a very light cardio on Saturday. Today I've been doing some cleaning and right now my back feels somewhat tight. I wanted to exercise (and it was...

    ****No Sweets week of Jan 13****

    Catherine, I just checked out your new squat rack. I LOVE IT! I wonder if they sell it at my local Walmart. I would have to check if they have it (they don't ship heavy equipment like that one to PR so I have to buy it at the store). That price is ridiculously low and it looks so much better...

    ****No Sweets week of Jan 13****

    Whew! Ladies I'm so happy to be checkin' in. I can finally sit in front of my computer (not for long yet). I have been in bed for pretty much this whole week. The year just started and I'm taking sick days already, but I'm going to work next week. I'm just so bored around here! I've been...
