    Did I do the right thing? Long!

    By posting a note on FB your BIL was asking for help- you did the right thing. Since he seems to have been sliding backward perhaps the best thing is for him to be in long term care. No doubt this is a horrible situation but he sounds like he needs the help and the break away from his father...

    why is the lower body so hard to slim down?

    I am a die hard Cathlete and the only thing that really slims my thighs is HiiT 4 days a week (doing mostly plyo work) or running. Whenever I do an Insanity 60 day rotation I get lean in the thighs and hips and the muscles I've developed doing Cathe's weight workouts show!!

    Going to Failure/ Extra Cardio

    I just finished meso 2 and looking back on my workout cards my failure reps early in meso 2 were about 14. Later in the meso the failure reps were more like 8-9, depending on the weight,exercise and of course muscle fatigue. As far as cardio goes, I did Insanity cardio on non weight days. I...

    Which Weight lifting DVD's Do I Start With?

    I think STS is the ticket for you, based on your experience with trainers and lifting weights. As Annette has already pointed out, it is so very comprehensive and the possibilities of rotations are endless. To me it was the best investment I ever made and my husband and son are very happy with...

    Do you have a maid?

    I think having a housecleaner is a wonderful gift to yourself. Who wants to work all day and use their precious little time off scrubbing sinks and toilets? That being said, I do not have a housecleaner for my home, ironically I AM the housecleaner for our overnight rental property and by the...

    Do you wear make up when working out?

    When I teach class I wear mineral foundation and chapstick...... the foundation stays on no matter how much I sweat. When I workout at home I have makeup only if my workout occurs after work. I think people should do whatever feels comfortable for them, although most perfumes do get a little...

    OUCH - I Fell Off My Step

    Thank goodness you didn't really hurt yourself!!! I think most of us have had a mishap of some kind while stepping. Many years ago I had a pretty spectacular fall from my step while doing some kind of lunging move from the top, my foot caught the treads much the same way yours did..... the...

    2010 Get Ready for Summer Rotation

    Debbie, Thank you so much for this rotation. Thanks to you I was able to get the last great cuts in my arms and shoulders and lost an inch on each thigh. My daughter got married this weekend and I was told (by one of the groomsmen) I was a smokin' mother of the bride!

    Anybody else disappointed in the music?

    I think the music in STS strength is totally appropriate. I am so busy concentrating on my workout that the music is background noise..... all the better to keep my form correct. I understand what Cathe said about describing what the crew was feeling doing the exercises in each workout, the...

    What did you do AFTER STS ?

    When I finished the 3.5 month rotation last May, I did Gym Style and 4 day split until Insanity came out and then did a round of Insanity. When I went back to STS last fall, I had maintained my strength gains AND my thighs were smaller thanks to all the plyo in Insanity!!
