    Chair Yoga

    I'm not as keen on this as I am on non-chair yoga. I appreciate the challenge traditional yoga provides with balance and mobility like getting down to the floor and back up again. That said, the hip-flexor/quad stretch on this was very effective, and I think this will be a good option for those...

    STS 2.0 Bonus exercises. How many sets to do?

    I'm scared of that one. I think I remember thinking I wasn't going to be able to wash my hair the next day after watching the preview of it a couple months ago.

    STS 2 Body parts

    You may start hearing about further issues as people move their way through the rotations. I'm doing the 12-week rotation so the body parts workouts are a ways off for me yet. I don't really have lots of time to sit and watch all these videos ahead of time, so I'll likely only discover potential...

    STS versus STS 2.0?

    The Select-Tech weight handles are definitely chunky. When you add weight gloves, even those few millimeters of thickness can add to the grip challenge. Again, why I heft them up onto my shoulders where possible, although I must say, I look forward to one day having a crushing handshake from all...

    Revisiting Stretch Max

    I have one of those rolling massage sticks (with the little knobs on it that freely rotate around the stick). I use that occasionally, mostly on my legs. I also have a couple tennis balls that I'll use. It's a pretty aggressive massage, so be wary using them, especially when putting the full...

    Finished with Phase 1 of the 12-week rotation

    I've not done STS 1 before so I'm not sure how her rest days/weeks worked with that. Sounds like they were between phases? I started implementing a scheduled rest week when I was doing the 3-month XTrain rotation last year. I did a lot of reading on rest weeks and decided to take rest weeks...

    Finished with Phase 1 of the 12-week rotation

    ... or just about. My rotation is a little "off" because I used Wednesday as my start date (Monday in the rotation chart). I have technically 3 more workouts left - foam rolling, Super Sets, and then chair yoga. However, Sunday starts my scheduled weeklong active recovery week where I take it...

    Revisiting Stretch Max

    That's what I'm finding I'm enjoying about the STS 2.0 rotation - the flexibility with the recovery days. I don't have to stick with just what's available in the STS 2.0 set. I'm actually a big fan of her Perfect 30 Mobility workout, so I'm rotating that one into the days where there are STS...

    Unhappy with downloadable "free" user's guide

    I do think the option to offer a purchasable hard-copy of your user guide might be well received. But I get it - you have to find the sweet spot of how many copies to print so you don't end up with excess inventory sitting around for years and years and years. Another suggestion to those who...

    STS 2.0 Total Body Giant Sets

    I didn't find I needed to drop my weight on set 3 except for on the side lunges. (I was just getting flat out exhausted by that time.) This could also be because I'm still fine-tuning my weight selections. I found I should increase some of my starting weight selections even after I thought I'd...

    STS 2.0 Total Body Giant Sets

    Decided to use the stability ball for this go-around with Giant Sets. It's all fun and games, but NOT during the unilateral segment! Maybe I didn't catch that somewhere, but either my balance is absolute s**t or this reaaaaaaaallly shouldn't be done unilaterally on a stability ball. Don't worry...

    Cathe, stop joking! It's dangerous!

    All in good fun - little wise cracks during the workouts are not great when I start laughing while trying to heft heavy weight! :D PS - my favorite joke I've heard so far was "we're turning 50 shades of red here" during Super Sets. Thanks for keeping things on the "light" side, even when we're...

    Tri-Sets Total Body- STS2.0

    Finished this for the first time today. Wow! Loved this workout. I wouldn't exactly call this a PHA workout since she doesn't switch between upper/lower/upper/lower like she does in those. Lower is just at the start then a set at the very end. That said, I was definitely breathing heavy through...

    Hiccups between chapters in STS 2.0

    The more people I see complaining about this one disc makes me think it's a faulty manufacturing / production issue. I've not seen it on any of my other discs in the series yet, either, despite my older tech.

    Will there be workout cards for STS 2.0?

    They're in the User's Guide here.

    Cathe Step

    Maybe you're seeing that mini-mat that they put on top of their step? That mat has the logo on it.

    STS 2.0 Super Sets

    Pushed through this workout today. I liked the pace and although you repeat the same exercise 3x, the swapping between parts per set helps break it up. I noted I can likely go heavier with many of my first blush weight selections. My only problem was having to occasionally pause the video in...

    Best STS 2 workout rotation to lose fat (pounds) and gain muscle

    I didn't read this water recommendations. Holy cow. I thought there were lots of studies out there debunking that whole 6-8 8oz. glasses of water a day, anyway, ie: you get your fluid from stuff you eat, too, and from other drinks like tea, etc. This article recommends 11 cups??? Maybe, I guess...
