I had a hamstring injury in the spring that was aggravated by my group fitness teaching schedule- but once I stopped teaching high impact and concentrated on my rehab routine the injury...

    Hi everyone!! Looks like everyone is really "going for it"- I love the challenges and seeing what everyone is doing. I completed Meso 2 Week 2 this week. I subbed leaner legs for the triset leg workout because I tend to get too bulky in the legs in this phase. For week 3 I will go back to...

    STS Pyramid Week of 9/26

    Hi Ladies: I am on Meso 1 Week 4 Day 2-3. I was feeling pretty strong today so I did 40/20 and stability ball abs and then thought "What the heck, I can do back and biceps today since tomorrow is going to be too hectic to get a workout in." Did I ever hit a wall about 40 minutes into back...
