Hi, I see that both Dumbbell rows and Barbell rows are listed in the lifts you should test for 1 rep max in the back of the STS guide. But what the heck is one rep?? I checked both the instruction videos in the Workout Manager and she does 7 rows and then stands up and then does 7 more...

Hi everyone, You are all so knowledgeable, I thought I'd ask your opinions! My MIL is almost 60, pretty overweight (30-40 pounds over?), and has diabetes. She says cardio makes her blood sugar drop and then she has to eat something, so I suggested starting some light weight training. Do...

I'm supposed to take 2000 mg of fish oil, but I'm not sure what to take...What is the best type/brand of fish oil? Where do you get it? Thankyou!\ Alison

SNM, I'm a little confused... The barbell rows ARE listed in the One Rep Max test list in the back of the STS guide and it references disc 2, which shows Cathe doing Barbell 7 rows. So I double checked the workout manager to see if the Youtube video instructions on how to do Barbell Rows...

Yeah, I think I will retest that one with more weight. I KNOW I was a little hesitant to push too hard. I can tell that I didn't push myself hard enough cuz I'm not sore enough today! =) Thanks for the idea! Alison

Standing rows-Cathe bends over 45 degrees and then rows 7 times before standing up again. So, what exactly does one rep consist of: bending, rowing 7, then standing=1 rep? Or, each row is 1 rep? Meaning, Cathe bends over, does 7 REPS and then stands up again? Barbell curls-21s: Here...

I just tested my 1rm for regular squats. I squatted 70 lbs 10 times with good form. The workout manager says my 1rm is 93 lbs. That sounds low to me... am I crazy? Alison

Good Idea! That would be great---the 1RM tests intimidate me too because there are soooooo many! Alison

Ok, so I have most of Cathe's DVDs, however, I would like to know whether the following are good additions since I have most of her stuff already (I mean, are they redundant?): High Step Challenge (I have HSTA already)--is it different? Is the music good? Would you recommend? Hardcore...

Hi, I don't have kids yet, but my sister-in-law has had 4 kids, and she just turned 28. She told me she couldn't get rid of the excess skin (and probably a little fat?) from having kids and so she got a tummy tuck. Is that necessary? She gained 20lbs with the first, then 30 lbs, then 40...

that you might be finished filming? Everything seems to be going so quickly and so well. Do you have any more info on your timeline? Thanks so much, Alison

I know it's silly, but I've gotten so used to Cedie, Jai, Brenda and Lorraine. It seems weird to have more females now. Are some of the usuals not going to be in all the workouts, so that you needed to hire more females? STS definitely looks like you're taking it up a notch too! My...

um, how do I unvote? I voted for the wrong category... I exercise 5 hours a week or more, and have no weight to lose (well, just a little bit on my stomach, but probably not more than 3 lbs). Alison

RE: I hate being out of the loop and not preorder....BU... Ok, one of Cathe's DVD's, like Drill Max for instance, is 26.99. At $200, that's like 7 DVD's. Only instead you get 37. I'm not understanding why that is overwhelming? Is it just because you think you wouldn't get to them all...

That's funny, I can't imagine doing blast-only premixes right now! It has been hard enough for me to do the workout as is! Sometimes, if I'm not feeling up to it, I just do the step combos only and not the blasts at all! But then I usually do two videos like that, so I go for longer. Alison

Wow, thanks everyone! Yeah, I previewed the workouts and she does look like she's having a lot of fun! It was a bit weird seeing Cathe in the thong-like leotard over biker shorts! I did go ahead and get Rhytmic Step, etc. But I also got Muscle Max and Stretch Max, and so the Cardio...

Should I buy CardioKicks/circuit max, and the Rhythmic Step/Int Max/Max Intensity Cardio dvds? They are on this months rotations, but I'm a little hesitant since they're older dvds. Are they worth it? What about the Cardio Hits DVD (Power Max, Step Fit, Step Works) I will still...

I generally like all of Cathe's music. I try to focus on keeping up with her and usually I can't even remember what music was on unless I really liked it. I do like "Jesse's girl"! And I think Lowmax has my favorite music of all the DVDs...but then again, I can't remember what is on...

I'm looking for a site that'll let me just buy and download the mp3's like itunes does, only I don't have an ipod! Napster, Rhapsody and Yahoo all require you to be a member and then you can purchase the tracks at a discounted price (whatever that is, they don't list it!). Does anyone have any...
