Hi Cathe- I'm finishing up Meso Cycle 1 today following your 3 month rotation. I'm really enjoying the workouts!! The variety is great. I know you suggest not doing any weights in the active recovery week which will be hard but I'm willing to try it:) Can you give us an example of what your...

I know what you mean. I did workout 11 today and I'm not sure what his name is, but one of the guys seems to be working soooo hard! His facial expressions are priceless and mirror what mine typically look like during a tough workout. I often wonder how the girls can smile so much! There is...

Bumping hoping Cathe or SNM will answer:)

I was doing great with this workout this morning until it got to the section where Cathe starts doing the various roll ins using the ball. I can do the straight in and outs and even the two legged pike but those side to sides were killer. I thought my abs were pretty strong but I was rolling...

Thanks for the response! My eating and cardio have stayed the same since starting the STS program. Cardio on the off days. Unfortunately, my clothes aren't fitting any looser so I don't think that I've lost inches either. When I asked my DH the other day if I looked fat and I told him I had...

I'm really loving STS and will start week 4 tomorrow using Cathe's rotation. The only problem is since starting the program I've gained 4 pounds. My diet is the same as before and is very clean. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this. It's a little depressing:(!!

For the recovery week after mesocycle 1, does the intensity of the cardio we do have any impact on our recovery? Just curious if I can do my usual cardio workouts or if I should dial it back a notch. Thanks, Laura

I have a digital scale for weighing myself but the numbers keep fluxuating while I'm on it so I think it's time for a new one. Does anyone have a good one that seems to weigh accurately? I just need a regular scale, not one with the body fat calculator.

It isn't very complicated but it does take some space. The hi-lo portion isn't bad but during the step you do sashays that you need quite a bit of space for and there is a lot of crossing over the step left to right that requires space on either side. It's a fun workout though.

I'm on my last day of week 2 of Cathe's STS rotation and just finished MIC. I haven't done that DVD in ages. I was sailing along at the end of the step portion thinking AHHH...almost done and then the BLAST section came! OOPS...forgot about that! It's killer but in a good way. After doing...

That is my problem too. I did Disc 3 the other day and my legs could have gone longer but my arms were FRIED!! I have a 20 pound weighted vest and will definitely wear that next time. I don't think using a barbell would be any different but I'm really not sure. Laura

Thanks Tami!! I didn't even notice the little gray arrow. It's a little faint on my screen. Laura

Is there a way to delete a workout that you put on the calender by mistake? Also, is there a way to put a non Cathe workout by name on the calender?

Answer from STS Forum Hey Guys, This was the answer I was given on the STS Forum for this same question from SNM: "For a lot of lower body exercises a 1RM test is not necessary or advisable as your bodyweight and height will have more to do with the intensity of the exercise than the weight...

What poundage were Cathe and crew using in this workout? I can't figure out how to get a true 1 RM since my arms holding dumbbells will obviously fatigue sooner than my legs.

I'm not sure how to figure out my 1 rep max for legs for the exercises that require holding dumbbells. It won't be my legs that fail but my arms that can only hold so much. Does that make sense? If anyone has done the disc 3 from mesocycle 1 what poundage does it look like Cathe is using?

I just assumed there would be barbell use. It would help if I looked at the list of exercises huh? I guess I'll have to go buy some heavier dumbbells!!:) Thanks!!
