Thanks much ladies! I'll give that a try.

Does anyone else who has Cathe's discs find that they don't slide particularly well on carpet? I make sure the discs are squeeky clean but they just seem to drag instead of slide. My feet pop off them all the time. They're great on hardwood with the little covers, but my woodfloor is on another...

Love the new calendar as always, but I couldn't place the large April photo. Can anyone tell me which workout this comes from? I have done all the low impact series DVDs but maybe this is a premixed or bonus? Thank you!

mine skipped, too

I just turned 51 and have been using Cathe for about 5 years. I just got the new DVDs on 10.31.11 and so far have done Athletic Training and Step Challenge. These were tough but totally awesome workouts - I included the bonus challenge with the step workout and I was absolutely spent, but I felt...

Cathe, I pulled out my Slow and Heavy DVD this week and did chest and back today. On the flies, you instructed us to keep the ends of the dumbbells facing each oher, rather than having the palms face each other. Does this grip just change the muscles involved, or is there more to it - like it...

Does anyone know how to view a running total of the number of workouts/calories burned for the year in the new WM? I can only see the current day. Thank you.

I just finished the entire STS program for the first and loved it. My husband was impressed with the results and decided to give it a go. He's one who wants to warm up "on your favorite piece of cardio equipment", but we're both wondering how his treadmill will provide the necessary warm up for...

Which Nike shoe are you wearing in STS? Hi Cathe! I'm starting my second round of STS and have two of the new cardio DVDs arriving today. I'm going to need all the help I can get, starting with some new shoes. I've been wearing ryka, but they're really hard to find. Which Nike shoe are you now...

Has anyone else enjoyed this revelation? After completing the STS series I took a month break and did Cathe's other cardio and weight work outs, including PUB, LUB, Muscle Max, Slow and Heavy, and Muscle Endurance. What a treat!! My notebook had little smiley faces next to many of the exercises...

Could you point me to this article, please? It sounds interesting...

I was in your same boat with pushups. When I started I did them all on my knees. Then I added just two or three regular pushups then dropped to my knees to finish. I just kept adding one or two at a time, and after a couple of months, I had the strength I needed to do almost all pushup work...

Bridges of Madison County! Her hand is on the car door... Does she open it? Should she open it? The anguish on her face when she let's go of it!!! I'm dating myself, but of course "Brian's Song" is way up there.

Cathe, I just completed the backoff sets for back/biceps (M2, W2) - ouch by the way - and have a question on alternating bicep work, particularly concentration curls. The weight that is appropriate for my right arm at 12 reps requires a slight spot on my left arm for reps 11 and 12. This is true...

I admit doing anything except gulping air during the leg workouts in Mesocycle 2 is out of the question for me, but a couple of crunches during the upper body rests helps divert the pain from muscles ever so briefly :D Thanks for responding ladies!

Cathe, I can't tell you how much I am enjoying STS. I just started Mesocycle 2, and am wondering if light ab work during the rest periods on the upper body workouts is ok. I'm not talking pikes on the ball or planks or anything that involves upper body, but just 15-20 crunches, side crunches...

Cathe, I notice when you do plie squats you often have the barbell in front across your biceps with your elbows foward to help prop it up, or you have the weights end-to-end in front of you somewhat under your chin. Does the weight in front have any special significance for this exercise? I find...

Thanks everyone for the responses. I don't feel like such a whimp anymore! I just finished disc 7 and I don't think my pecs will ever be the same after those pushups. What a fabulous workout!!!

I am absolutely thrilled with STS - the variety, the hard work, the results... and can see why the 1RM is so important, but I'm wondering how everyone is doing maintaining their calculated weight by the end of a workout. In other words, based on my 1RM calculation I should have been able to do...
