for me, gluten is the culprit. i am not totally GF but working towards it. i will go several days without gluten and then have a piece of toast. i get bloated every time & also feel less energetic. i just love toast and am not keen on the GF store-bought breads. veggies never make me feel...

i think Mesos 2 & 3 may be a little easier to do at the gym, but only because M1 moves so much quicker & more equipment to get out, put back in a shorter time (30 secs b/w exercises). you could still do it, but try to set up as much as you can, and maybe go at an "off-time" if you can. i have...

M3 is the heaviest weight you will use in the STS program. You need the extra time between sets for the energy cycles to do their thing. HTH

The gem comment in this thread made me cave & buy Pure Strength...

You could also use a weight vest in addition to whatever barbell weight you can lift safely over your head. I am planning to try this in a few wks since I just happened upon a 12 lb Cathe weighted vest at my local Marshalls. Nice find at 19.99!

i love how versatile the STS program is! right now, what I am doing is mixing Meso 1 & 2 in the same week in this manner: Mon - M1W1 Chest/Bis/Shoulders and also M1W1 Legs; Tues - M1W1 Back/Tris; Wed - M2W1 Legs; Thurs - M2W1 Chest/Shoul/Tris; Fri - M2W1 Back/Bis. I started my 2nd wk of this...

yep, the time has really flown by, but for me I'm sure it's because the boys are back in school for the 4th week now already...gheesh!!

hi, everyone - just sharing a neat story...an incredible journey from Atlanta to NYC that is going on right now. 12 Georgia firefighters & emergency responders are cycling from ATL to NYC to honor the memory of those we lost in the attacks on 9-11-01. The departed ATL last Friday morning & today...

not sure true tabata would be best for fitness videos, but maybe a bonus section on a new release that has a tabata-style workout. also would be helpful to show where to fit this type of workout in with the other workouts. i.e., along with a straight weights day or a cardio/weights day, as an...

oh WOW...I finally got this workout & it is tough!! whew...have only done the stability ball section and barely made it thru. the other 2 w/o's I don't have the equipment for yet but won't be tough to get. just a soft 2 lbs med ball & a figure 8 tubing. i really am amazed at how easy she...

don't give up on High Reps! i think it is a fun w/o and personally I like the fast pace of it now & then. you do need to get everything set up as much as possible and here is my favorite piece of advice. Post-It Notes! i took the time to review some of the DVDs quickly by chapter and wrote on...

is tabata training or tabata-style training in the WM anywhere? i looked but didn't see it. just curious. i can create a cross-training w/o if it's not already there somewhere.

I am in Philly!

Hi Cheryl, yes I do have a roommate already. Do you have other options?

I am flying in Thurs AM. Have some business mtgs then plan to be at the hotel by 3pm maybe earlier. My rental is a 4door compact but if it happens to work out I don't mind picking someone up. Send me a msg if interested. Should be done w/ mtgs around 1:30pm.

Aww, that's so sweet! Thanks, DD!! It will be fun to audition. Less nerves than a race I'm hoping!

Tried them today with my hands on yoga blocks. Much better. Way better. I already had the blocks out to do the levitation holds so thought I'd try them for the rev planks.

I think one of the new workouts is a straight step one.

Pam, that is exactly my problem...a wonky right shoulder! I even have to be extra careful doing chest flyes.

Wow, Alpe d'Huez did not disappoint. What great riding & racing today! I was on the edge of my seat.
