I did plyo legs with the intention of it being a cardio/legs workout. Most of the workouts are under an hour 45-50 minutes so I added my favourite 15-20 minutes of cardio at the beginning to make it a full hour. I also find that cardio (not too much) warms up the legs so they don't feel so...

It feels really good! I haven't done much endurance training lately and it is a nice change of pace. The workouts go really fast (an hour feels like half that) and I know I am doing my body good - giving it a break from heavier lifting and building it stronger for the Mesocycle 2 - hypertrophy...

I tried plyo legs today (even though I am starting week 2 of Meso-1) It may be a no-no - but I wanted to sneak in another leg workout. Because it was only 46 minutes I decided to tack on 15 minutes of stepping for a full hour of cardio-circuit style workout. My legs were a shakin'! What a...

Hi Everyone, I am still in week one and have completed disc 1 and 3 (I wanted to start with legs because of the order I finished from a previous rotation) I was moderately sore in the quads, hips and hams from disc 3 - surprisingly since it didn't seem as hard - but fun and the time flew by...

I usually eat "it" in small quatities with the help of a hot beverage. Coffee - green tea - helps the "comfort" level that I get from the junk food and fills me up faster. It is a challenge. Sometimes I will make a quick salad to go with it as well - at least then I don't feel as guilty...

I'll second the chips and salsa - baked of course! Delicious!

I love the GS series - I really feel like I accomplish something after these workouts. I will miss them while doing STS. My brother-in-law has borrowed them while I am STS'sssing! I can tell he's becoming a Cathe convert!

I am surprised at the soreness as well - like I posted before - I felt some burn - but not as bad as B&G - I think it must be the new movements and order of exercises. The time just flew by - fun stuff!

Ditto over here! Do something "different" does make a difference! I just did disc #3 for legs - it was thorough - but over before I was really tired. I did not hurt as much as B&G - but low and behold I am sore this morning! These new workouts must really use the muscles differently. I...

I didn't order until August - I guess that's my hold up. OHHHH I really hope Monday!

Thanks for the encouragement Princessbear! I will try to enjoy "rest" week!

I haven't taken a "rest" week before - I read that we can do cardio - but no weights. I am afraid I will lose muscle that week - can we do circuit workouts (lighter weights?) I am a bit more of an endomorph body type and have to work really hard for "the muscle" - I am afraid to lose any gains...

I am here in southwestern Ontario and have not received mine yet! I am getting by reading everyone's posts about starting STS. It's weird how western provinces have faster delivery than central provinces - oh well I am happy (but jealous) of those who had a "new toy" to play with for the...

Thanks for the review! I won't be getting STS for a while (up Canada - ordered in August) so I really enjoy reading your reviews! Would you say that Mesocycle legs is similar to Butts and Guts and Legs and Glutes?

I was thinking that maybe less talking during the Mesocycle #3 is probably a good thing - when you are working so hard - it might be annoying to have talking non-stop (even if it is our beloved Cathe) when you are trying to recoup and focus. The silence will help up focus and regroup for the...

If anyone has any more reviews - please post - I am over here in Canada and probably won't receive STS for at least another week or two and I am just living on the reviews you lovely people are posting to keep me going until I get mine. Thanks everyone! Happy STS'ssing!

What about the bonus leg workouts - it was my understanding that these were the "floor work" sections? Hopefully there is something in those that will benefit you. Best wishes...

It could be right - I logged B&G into the Workout Manager (using my personal stats) and the calculated calories burned were 550 - it is one tough workout!

I make a nice big mug of Green Tea with splenda and this nips the overeats! It's soothing and fills me up!

Cold FX (we have this in Canada) I take it as "soon as I sense a that coldish feeling coming - cold symptoms subside within 24 hours if I catch it early enough - or only last 2-3 days. I swear by it!
