Today I did Cathe Live (2014 Road Trip All Step), and I did the new Cathe Live (Step Sweat) on Thursday. I'm on my STS break. I was tired all week because my sleep habits got a little off course, but I made up for it today with a big nap. I would think it would be difficult to not work out at...

Today I did Party Rockin' Step 2 and Pilates Abs. That sounds like a good rotation, Cendrine. I decided I will modify meso 3 for lower body by substituting lower body workouts from other Cathe series. I'm hoping that will give me some ideas of which strength series I'd like to try after STS...

Step Blast is fun! I hope you had a nice recovery week, Cendrine. Today I did STS disc 23. Last week I had to take many breaks during that one, but this week I did much better. I was feeling stronger, which surprised me. Maybe it's because I know I have next week off from STS, LOL!

Today I did Low Max (Intervals 4-7 Premix), STS disc 24, and Stretch Max # 2. I've missed Low Max :) That might be my favorite.

Yesterday I did STS disc 23 (it wiped me out!), and today I did Rhythmic Step and Weight & Plates Abs. The weather got colder, so no more walks for me for a little while. I'll try walking wearing weighted gloves when it warms up again. Katie, if you're ever looking for some knee-friendly (and...

I have thought about walking with a weighted vest. That's the next item on my wish list. I wonder if weighted gloves would be enough to add some intensity? I have 3 lb. weighted gloves (1.5 lbs. each). Yesterday I was completely exhausted due to what I am assuming are age-related changes...

I'll mix it up for legs for meso 3 I think. I'd like to add some more floor work for legs, or at least something that will focus on areas I've been neglecting. Today I went for a walk. I keep trying to walk fast enough to get my heart rate up, but I just don't seem to be able to. So I in...

Wow, computer programming would be some very challenging reading! I was thinking about doing the strength leg meso 3 with a weight vest. I don't know if those are bad for the back though. I might just do something else altogether, or redo meso 2 for legs, because I'm not that concerned about...

It was so nice today! It was in the 60s. I need to get outside and tend to my yard a little. I started trimming some bushes over the weekend, but there is a lot more trimming to go. I got a 40-minute walk in today, and I did STS disc 21. I have two more weeks of meso 2. I'm getting nervous...

I wish we could have free access to downloads of the DVDs we've bought too. I've discovered the issue with my STS discs freezing is not my DVD player. I can see tiny scratches in the ones that freeze. I was thinking that it's too bad I couldn't trade them in for the downloaded version...

Workout blender only works with downloaded videos, so it doesn't work with Roku or OnDemand, or even DVDs. Today I did Rhythmic Step and a Tamilee Webb abs video.

Tonight I did a mix of Party Rockin' Step 1 & 2 I made with Workout Blender. I didn't pick the most blendable segments apparently, because the transitions were not very smooth, but it was still fun.

Thanks Cendrine! I might look into juicing once I get a garden up and running. That would be a great way to use up my veggies before they go bad, especially if they can't be frozen. I am so ready for spring that I already bought some vegetable seed packets last weekend. It might be warm...

I've lost about 15 lbs. since I started STS, and I feel stronger. I'll need to lose more fat before I can see any definition, but I can see a little when I flex. Today I did Party Rockin Step 1 Step Mix premix and No Equipment Abs.

Cendrine, I know what you mean about eating before working out. I work out after work, but by the time I'm done with work I need supper! So I have to wait for supper to settle for a while before I can work out. Caitlin, some osteopaths and physical therapists do manipulations. I don't know...

Today I did MMA Boxing, but there were a lot of higher impact moves I had to modify, so I probably won't do that one very frequently. I had been trying to add some impact to my workouts, but I decided to stop because my feet started tingling again (from my sciatic nerve). I would have thought...

I think my hip flexor is doing a little better today. I did Party Rockin' Step 1. The only lunge-like move was the stretch in the beginning. It caused a small amount of pain, but I think it's less than before. Caitlin, I'm glad you're able to work out again. I've found that staying mobile...

Today I did STS disc 18. I finally got a non-threaded barbell. It is so helpful for back-off sets. I still take a little longer than Cathe to get my weights changed out, but it's a huge improvement. I did something to my hip flexor over the weekend, so I've been going lighter on cardio, and...

Oh my goodness, Cendrine, I did pilates abs today too! I did Step Blast as well. How is your back feeling now? My back was tight last night as well, which had me worried until I remembered it was probably from the one-legged deadlifts the day before. It's feeling better today thankfully.

My leg soreness finally went away, so I did Rhythmic Step this evening. I think this week's STS leg workout only added one new exercise from the previous workout, but that was enough to give me DOMS I guess, lol. Katie, going swimming in this cold weather does not sound like fun at all...
