    Hi Mariposa, I am doing STS on M, W, F and Cardio/Abs on T/TH. I am taking Sat/Sun as rest days. Hope that is helpful!

    Can we request music for Xtrain?

    That's because it WAS a dirty song for the time! :D I remember what a scandal it was when it came out (just like George Michael's "I Want Your Sex") but those both seem tame compared to what's on the radio today. I like Pink, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry music.

    STS first time!

    Missy, I didn't know you had pics of your workout room. I went and checked them out. Very nice! Now we need pics of YOU! :) Carolyn, the Polar Caves sounds like it was a bit of a workout. Glad you're having fun!

    Hi GAMom! Si and I are starting Mesocycle 2 next week. I want to know how the marathon cleaning goes as a cardio option! :)

    STS first time!

    Betty's link worked for me and I just plan to type in my smilies, like this :D Thanks, Betty! In some ways, Low Max reminds me of the iMax workouts, but not as hard.

    Jean said, "When you post a reply , do you click on the post reply button at the bottom of the last post? That is what I do and the box that comes up says" Reply to Thread" at the top" Yes, that is exactly what I just did and the box says "Reply to Thread" but there are no smilies on the...

    I have NO smilies on the right... and I tried clicking on you. It doesn't do anything. I must be lost. :( Missy, WTG on eBay sales. Want to sell my stuff for me? :)

    STS first time!

    Hello everyone! Happy Monday! I was trying to be a weekend warrior, so I didn’t check in here. Hope everyone had an enjoyable and productive weekend! I put together bunk beds for my kids. My son is not quite ready to be done with the crib, but CostCo had twin mattresses on sale, so I figured...

    Quick check in, but have to say CONGRATS, MISSY! How awesome! And I am done with Mesocycle 1, so go me! And Si too! I really felt the increased weights today and loved the bonus moves on the ball - good stuff right there. Have a great day everyone!

    Hey! I just noticed that post numbers are not going up! I've been at post #61 for the last three posts. What the heck? I'll never be a Cathlete at this rate! :) Edited to add, I'm a dork... it always lists your highest post count. On another forum I'm on, it always posts the particular...

    STS first time!

    Oh my goodness, Si, you read my mind. I was totally coming her to ask about what workouts everyone did on the rest week, and there you were asking the same thing! I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I will have absolutely no problem not lifting weights :) Nice to see you back on the forum...

    STS Turbo Tower

    Thanks, Jann! I, too, covet your room! I have workout space, but it is also storage space.

    STS first time!

    Hello! I did Slide & Glide, the Cardio/Abs/Stretch pre-mix today, using my new 6x8 outdoor carpet remnant that I picked up from Home Depot for $17. Will I ever find a suitable surface for these disks?! The 6x8 size seemed about right, but the pile on the carpet is very low and it’s not easy...

    STS Turbo Tower

    What I really want the tower for is modified pull-ups and chin-ups. The bands don't give me enough resistance and I'm not strong enough to pull my entire weight up on a doorway pull-up bar. I have been doing the doorway pull-ups with my feet on a chair, but the angle is not quite right and I...

    STS first time!

    Today was Disk 11 – whew, I’m glad it’s done, it was HARD today! I completely exhausted on a couple of the exercises and I can just feel everything as I’m sitting here typing! Colleen, did the article say where the person who got a parasite was geographically? I could imagine that happening...

    STS first time!

    Today I did Step Moves and the Pilates Inspired Abs on STS Ab Circuits. I was going to do Kick, Punch and Crunch, but I decided to give Step Moves another crack while the moves were in my head. I still had to do some rewinding on the later combos, but I had a much better workout today. It...

    STS first time!

    Happy Monday, Everyone! I did Disk 10, and I don’t know if it was the crappy eating over the weekend (pizza and even full fat ice cream!), a long day of play in the pool with the kids yesterday, or the 5% increase in weights, but man, oh, man, the workout was hard and for the last 1/3 of the...

    STS first time!

    Good morning! I think I am going to take the kids down to my brother’s house in San Diego. If so, we need to get a move on. What is everyone else up to this weekend? Did anyone else watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics? If so, what did you think? Carolyn, I am routinely in bed by...
