IMO a spotter or a weight bench or the Tower are necessary for the bench presses in Meso 2 and 3. There's no way I could have layed back onto my step bench with that weight, then get it up and off of me when done. An injury looking to happen. My first round, my DH spotted me. For my 2nd...

So sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers and thoughts will be with you.

Hi, I'm sitting here at home stalling until my workout (a circuit of some kind). Rhea, I've used Debbie Hicks (lives by the golf course) twice and like her work. Cindy Gatie turned me on to her. Her rate is .01 per sq. inch plus $20 setup fee. I should take a class sometime in operating one...

I'm hoping to lower my golf handicap in 2010. It didn't budge at all this year. I'm going to focus on more clean eating. I slacked up on it and my body composition changed a bit, though the scales really didn't change much. Spend more time with my DH out in the woods this summer, cruising...

Good evening, Watching a little TV tonite, Food Channel and now some golf reruns. Don't have to work tomorrow, which I'm looking forward to. Means I can sleep in a bit, then take my time doing a workout. Today was the new Athletic Step and it kicked butt. Definitely higher intensity than any...

Hi all! I've missed you guys and am wondering if I can start checking in with you again. I hope everyone had a good Christmas, we did here. Janie, as I said before, I sure feel for you and Joey in your loss of Molly. She was very loved and will never be forgotten. (((HUGS))) to you during...

This was my first Shock Cardio workout too (previewed it last night), and loved it. I feel pretty accomplished and energized. It was very modifiable and kept my heart rate up. Good music too!

Hi Janie, I'm so sorry for your loss. All of us pet owners understand. ((Hugs)). You did the right thing. You were blessed to have her and she you. I truly believe we will again see our little friends someday....

Personally, I've always wanted that "veiny" look to my arms. However, mine don't peek out often, but I do have really large veins in my hands and feet. :rolleyes: Figures, huh. When my body fat is lower, yes, they show more, but I think genetics has a lot to do with it too. I know of a very...

I love my tower!!! I'm on my 2nd round of STS and it's so nice not to have to get my DH out of bed to spot me on bench press (like I had to on the 1st round). Also, I don't do full straight leg pushups normally on the floor, but I do them straight legged using the tower. I love having the...

I've been using my padded cycling gloves. They work great.

IMO, you will need a weight bench or Tower for the barbell chest work in Mesos 2 and 3, otherwise you are risking injury with the heavier weights. My DH was my spotter, but I felt bad asking him to get up earlier to help me out. I'll be getting my Tower soon and then will start STS again.

I too am excited to be getting the Tower. I will be starting another round after getting it. I feel that a person really needs a weight bench/Tower of some kind to do Meso 2 and 3 for the chest work, otherwise you are seriously risking injury in lifting that heavy barbell up and down from the...

Happy Birthday, Wendy!!!! Hope your day is as special as you! Miss you, girl. Traci, so nice to hear from you too! Hope that you, Wendel and the boys are doing well. :D:D:D:D:D

I've been playing for 2 years now and love/hate it LOL! Today was a fund raiser tournament for me. We did a couples scramble (foursome) and had a ball, shooting 6 under par for a total of 65! Truly, this is THE hardest activity I have ever done. I always had a feeling that I'd get into it in...

Bumping to hear a Tower status report too. I hear you on needing a rack for STS. I'm getting my DH up early this morning to spot me for an STS Meso 3 Chest & Back workout. I began needing him to spot me for the bench presses in Meso 2. Think he will be glad when the Tower arrives (though he...

How about a game of Twister? Trolls, Pee-wee's. Balls and paddles. Roller skates with a key that you hung around your neck. Hot Wheels cars and tracks. Good old bikes with banana seats and ape hanger handle bars. I was a child growing up in the 60's.

Janie, Thank you for your kind words. I will definitely be lurking, but don't want the pressure of feeling like I have to post on a regular basis. I know, I can just pop in and will probably do that. Looking forward to reading about your STS journey. I did STS Legs 17 today for the 2nd time...

Hi ladies, Happy Mother's Day today! Looks like everyone is doing great. Played golf yesterday, had a bike ride Thursday night (good one). Staying busy with my sewing. This morning is a leg workout, then out for breakfast with DH. After that, we are taking the Rhino out to the woods to pick...
