This looks so cool! I am definitely going to be ordering this! I know that I won't be doing any sitting vertical pull-ups any time soon, but I guess it gives me something to try and aspire to. I am so excited about this whole system. It just keeps getting better. Thanks Cathe and SNM!!

Lori, I totally agree that our perception of what is overweight and obese and normal is changing!! We are so used to seeing super skinny and super large that what is actually healthy gets blurred. But, I also think that body type, stature, bone density, musculature all play a role in...

BMI is not accurate for people who exercise regularly and are athletic. So, I wouln't put much store in this number if I were you. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger is considered morbidly obese according to these charts. We all know that muscle weighs more than fat and those who are muscular...

Whey protein is far superior to soy protein. I recently read a really good article a/b whey and casein protein, both of which are good sources of protein and good for recovery. This article had only negative things to say a/b soy and ended with recommneding avoiding it completely. HTH.

I'm treating my DH and myself to a vaca after I graduate from nursing school (May 10th!!!). I don't know where to go either. I would love to go to Male, but probably can't afford that. I was thinking more along the lines of Hilton Head or Florida! Not, Male, but it'll do. :) We went to...

Well, I had a great workout, really worked hard, got a good pump. But, in the middle, I could feel my stomach rumbling. By the end, I was famished. I could not get home fast enough to eat! I ate 6 egg whites, two pieces of whole grain toast with natural pb and honey, and a banana. Not too...

I am right there with you all! I ate really great for like two or three months and then it just started slip a little, then a little more, and when I'm eating cereal again, you know it's over. I don't really cheat on "bad" fried/sweet/fatty foods. I cheat with cereal. A LOT of cereal. I...

RE: P.S. ANOTHER BL question re: Jillian & Brittany I'm so with you all on this! I mentioned the push-ups to my husband (he just rolled his eyes), but seriously, that was pathetic! Drop to your knees if your so tired you can't do it with good form! I can't believe that went uncorrected...

RE: Yikes!!! This is going to be so phenomenal! I am just blown away by this program! It just keeps getting better! I can't wait to test my 1RM and then to initiate this program. Has anyone else noticed how great everyone looks? All I can say is bring it on!

All I can say is WOW! STS looks amazing and I can't wait to do this! Thanks to Cathe, SNM, and crew for all the hard work, planning, and the wonderful updates and pics! I am one VERY satisfied customer!

I've also raised chickens before! I did get attached; I'd had the same hen from baby chicks for about two years. They knew my voice, would cluck and get excited when I came to see them. Couldn't let them roam free in the yard thought because of preditors. Their pen was really secure. But...

Loved National Treasure Book of Secrets! Horton Hears a Who looked really cute too. I would like to see the new movie with Kate Hudson and Matthew Macaughnahey (sp?).

Catherine, thanks for the link on the power tower you bought. Does it take up a lot of space? Can you put it up against a wall and still use both sides? Diane Sue, I've looked at Kettleballs, all I can say is get your wallet ready. Those are REALLY expensive! I've looked on Ebay for DB...

Anyone else eyeballing more equipment, but just can't quite part with the green? If I could get everything necessary I would get: -A high step (I only have the original with two risers per side and leg presses would be way more effective with a higher step and would make other exercises more...

I would love to be able to pikes on the ball, but they are soo freakin' tough! I saw in STS pics what looked like pikew with paper plates. Maybe this will be easier and will help build the strength needed to do them with the stability ball, but until then, I just do the best I can and then...

I'm TIA. I feel that BM2 is just punishing! I can hardly get through before I decide that it's just not worth it. I've only done this one in it's entirety a few times and probably won't ever again. It's definitely challenging and is a solid workout, but it grinds me to the ground.

Well, I finished B&G Leg Blast premix yesterday (barely). I knew that I was going to be sore today when I could barely get up the stairs!! I seriously thought that Cathe was trying to kill me! I think that this premix is harder than the whole entire workout and I love that it is killer and I...

Okay, maybe this is a stupid question, but here goes: do I need two 35lber's or just one? Right now I'm thinking I can only use it for back and maybe (with the help of STS) do overhead extensions. I can 30's for chest presses, but it's tough...so will I need two dumbells? I can't think of...

I would love to hear of anyone's experience with this problem. DH has the same issue, but wants to get back into working out. I was hoping he would do STS with me. I know what his doctor has recommended (which is ridiculous because he's only 26 and the doc basically no to all the things we...

Glad to hear this! I haven't done this one in a while, but it's one the books for today!!!
