There is some doubling up for sure with the STS/LIS rotation, but nothing in the LIS is considered heavy lifting. It's all functional/compound movements, which is what makes it so intense, yet low impact. The only DvD I wouldn't double up with is the Triset one.

To get the most benefit from STS, I would suggest doing it as written before modifying. You can still do LIS on your non-STS days, but the rotation only does one week from each STS meso cycle in addition to a week with all three. JMHO.

Ditto and Ditto (had to put in 2 ditto's because apparently my message was too short with just one)

I would say you definitely need to invest in a bb that goes up to 100lbs. I chest press and dead lift 80lbs. You really get up there in weight in Meso 3. By buying one that goes to 100lbs you can go as light as 10lbs (just the bar) on up to 100.

I did the first 25 mins again today with STS disc 25 and I'm pretty sure the '25' minutes is actually at 27 mins. It ends after you do the dips with the sliding discs and one arm biceps. After that, is bicep isolation exercises, so I'm guessing you stop before that since the purpose of doing...

Yea, I got an email saying there was irregular activity on my card. There was a small purchase for $20.01 in Alabama..I live in Indiana! Often the person who stole the number will make a small purchase to see if it raises any flags, then move on to bigger items. Needless to say, my card was...

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I just found out that my credit card info was stolen. The last purchase I made online was from Collage Video. I can only presume that this is where the person got my info from. Just a reminder, especially with the holiday season and lots of online...

This is pretty much what it says, except it repeats 2 of the segments--The jumping jack/clean and press segment and the air squat/burpee push up sequence. This is what makes it about 6 mins longer. For the most part I liked it because it got those awful dragging planks out of the way early...

deleted deleted...wrong forum...so sorry!

Cathe-I just did Week 2 day 2 (Disc 14 and first 25 mins of Athletic training) of the STS/LIS rotation. My question is does the 25 mins include the 6 min warm up? I stopped at 26 mins and it was right after the second set of push-ups. Also, do you recommend to do the cardio portion first...

I'll be 37 on 12/24. I've been doing Cathe since I was 20 (1995 I think??). I think my first tape was the original Body max. My mom is the one that got me started. Almost 20 years of working out and there is absolutely no one that is even comparable to Cathe IMHO.

The best remedy for DOMS is working out. It's best to try and avoid lifting heavy with the muscle group that is affected most, but getting the body moving and getting heat into the sore muscles will help a ton. But boy oh boy do those first 5 mins or so burn!! Especially when the DOMS is in...

If you don't feel it in your core, then you're not doing something right...just sayin...

I got my Dvd's today, but there wasn't any sliding discs with them? Am I totally crazy in thinking that I saw that you got them free when you pre-ordered??? This stinks :(

In Meso 2, the hardest leg workout for me is Disc 20. The tri-sets are killer anyway, but Cathe does one exercise per set using a paper plate and I despise those!! I always felt like the one minute rest was never enough in that disc (just did it 3 days ago). In meso 3 the first plyo leg...

So I'm looking over the packing list and thinking about what I need to pack and what I'll be packing for the gym each day. Does Cathe's health club provide towels for showering? Or should I plan on throwing in one from the hotel? And does everyone actually shower and do their hair and such...

Not Cathe either, but I know she has said before that the plyo legs discs are a lot like HiiT workouts. I would assume that because they are like HiiT workouts, you need to take a break from them just like any other workout, so I wouldn't do more than 2-3x a week with at least a day break in...

I'm getting so excited and nervous at the same time!!! I can't wait!

Same here. Did full body workouts/cardio and threw in some single muscle group workouts (legs, etc). Now I just finished Meso 1 of my second round of STS. I probably took 3 months off in between maybe??

Something for bigger busted women that provides enough support to do high intensity cardio. It seems like the trend these days goes toward spaghetti strapped tanks and sport bras and those do not work well for me (36C) AT ALL! :D I want to look good when I workout too :)
