Hi, I was also looking for something different and came across this unilateral leg workout. I've been doing it for a few weeks and will continue for a few more. I've had excellent results and it's helping to get rid of some of my muscular imbalances plus it's easy on the back. I was tired of...

your posts Hi, I'll probably slide back into lurkdom again after I post this, but I hope that you decide not to leave. I always enjoy reading your posts. I was injured a couple of years ago with back problems and stuck around. There's no rule that says you have to be doing Cathe workouts to...

food intake? Hi, Are you eating the right foods to fuel your body? As hard as it is for me to constantly fuel my body, I can really tell when I'm just not eating enough and I make it a point to eat. Sometimes I'm not even hungry, but if I look back over the day, I can pretty much tell whether...

abs I second the motion for Oxegen abs. Once I started doing some of those routines I made huge gains in core strength. I do abs 3x per week unless I do a really hard routine, then my 3rd session is light. I don't do abs as an add on anymore. I do abs just as seriously as any other body part...

cardio & fat loss Hi all, I just read through the article and I don't disagree with what was said. I do think that the real bottom line is that you have to, within reason, change things up periodically or they become maintenance. When you begin to lose interest and not give the workout your...

the winner Hi, I know it's mindless:cool:, unrealistic :confused: tv, but I sure wanted Jill to pick Kypton (sp?) or Reid. There was just something about Ed that I didn't like :mad: and he was so quick to say the big three words. I'm happy for her though:D. I hope it lasts, but I read...

fences There are obviously two camps on all of these issues and none of it is as simple as some make it out to be. I spent a lot of money to put up a four board fence with wire around my entire backyard. I don't have a documented dog who kills, but I can guess that if a cat came into the...

an opinion from the other side I rarely post but I can't help myself. No one has even taken the time to comment that the OP took a rescue dog! I seriously explored the rescue dog situation in No Va and some of the no kill shelters/ associations are just brutal. I'm not sure that being in a 8x10...

weight Hi, My son was heavy at that age and I really blame my husband for encouraging eating fast food and supersizing meals. It continued until my son finally got tired of being heavy and did something about it. At 18, he put himself on a diet, mostly no fast food, no sodas, portion control...

posting I rarely post unless it's something that is just a personal comment about something that no one can dispute. The know it alls, and strongly opinionated people have stopped me from commenting very often. I do find lots of the threads entertainiing and I have learned a few things over the...

cost Thanks for the info on the guestimate of the cost. It never ends does it? I just cancelled my 1:1 with Tony; that will help:) Tracy

instructors Facial looks aren't important to me, but the fitness level is. I just cannot do a workout by an instructor that is not in good shape and I won't purchase the dvd. Then I factor in the quality of the workout and finally the personality of the instructor. Tracy

insanity Hi, I'm going to get it if the price is reasonable, and I'm not sure what I'll consider reasonable:) I'll have to see the whole package and then decide. Tracy

workout Hi, I just did the Insanity workout yesterday and I honestly thought that I hadn't heard the intial directions correctly because the warm up was pretty darn intense. The rest of it was short, but it was even more intense. By the end I struggled to do those plank tucks. I guess it...

better educated Hi, I don't have CLX, but I do have several other programs and many other dvds, mostly Cathe, and I will not be getting rid of anything. I may think about my lifting differently, but for me, variety is the spice of life. I'll do STS once a year, and some other programs, once a...

Hi all, My fitness revelations over the years are Follow a preset rotation. Change things up drastically every few months. Decide whether the workout is maintenance or gains and expend the appropriate energy. I usually think of it in cycles. STS was definitely for gains, then I may take a...

overtraining Hi all, Chris - You do bring up a good point regarding cycling nutrients and workouts. I try very hard to add extra protein on days that I weight train and extra carbs on cardio days. I've seen a big difference in my performance. I have to say though, that none of this is that...

overtraining Hi, I've read several articles recently about overtraining. Many say that it is not the training, but the lack of proper nutrition and sleep that contribute to overtraining. Many athletes train way more than what the STS rotation is and aren't overtraining. Granted you have to...

Hi, I'm planning on taking a couple of weeks to do my own thing, then do a p90x+ rotation. I need a break from traditional weight lifting and I got great results with that last summer. Tracy

results Hi, I started with the 6.5 month rotation, but I had to modify it because I'm having minor eye surgery in June. I ended up doing 7 weeks of Mesos 1 & 2 and I'll finish the 4 weeks of meso 3 next week. I did not do Cathe's cardio suggestions and instead I ran 2 days a week, did plyo...
