    Weighted Vests

    If you want something that holds more weight than a walking vest, check out www.ironwearfitness.com This is what I'm leaning towards because I like the flexible weights and the construction of these vests. Also, I like the ironwear ones because other vests that you have to lift over your head...

    >I wasn't looking for an exact or even approximate shipping >date per se I am wondering if it is realistic to expect them >this summer or the fall? I'm hoping for late June. ;-) Don't know how realistic this is but I think it could be possible for summer delivery if there are absolutely no...

    When is STS due to ship??

    I remember from an SNM post that it was supposed to take around 12 filming days, in which Cathe was to film long hours 4 days a week. Editing is supposed to be done by NFL as they go but then you have wait for the music to be written for the edited workouts. Then the duplication of 37 DVDs of...

    What's the life expectancy of The Step?

    The rubbery ridges on my step are not worn out, but it has been used on an average of 3x per week for 20+ years and is still going strong. Yet, my step has not had the stress put on it like a health club would use either. This will not help you at all to make your decision, but I bought the...

    How long is each STS workout?

    Caroline, You might look at the FAQ thread. I believe you might find your answer. ;-) I'm thinking there won't be premixes...only on mesocycle 3 for the leg workouts. There is supposed to be an alternate for those who don't have a squat rack. HTH :-)

    after the 12 weeks?

    Kay until you get a response from Chris, I found this info. SNM has said that you can do this program for 3 or 6 months. But, in answer to someone's question about doing 1 body part per week, here is some insight about your question that was buried in the last paragraph. SNM said: "STS is not a...

    cold sores

    My GF kept getting cold sores. Her doctor told her to try pure essential Rose oil. He said that Rose oil will get rid of the existing sore and they won't come back. She tried it last year and so far no more sores. ???:-)

    Myofascial Pain

    Classical Stretch and the foam roller has helped tremendously with my myofascial pain. Reading Miranda Esmond White's book gave a great explanation of what myofascial pain is. Myo=muscle fascia=the lining around the muscle. It isn't life threatening but it really hurts when the fascia gets...

    Weighted vests/weighted belts

    Thank you all so much for your suggestions and ideas. I will probably go with a vest. There is a picture of one at Ironwear that has narrow shoulder straps as opposed to those looking like I'd be putting on a plate of armour. The later would make me fall over just putting it on. :D

    Weighted vests/weighted belts

    Hi Everyone, I posted this in the STS forum. I really would like your opinions on why you like or dislike the vests or the belts. Thank you so much for your response. Here goes with another weighted vest type question. I no longer have any room left for a squat rack in my room, so I am...

    Weighted vests/weighted belts

    Here goes with another weighted vest type question.;-) I no longer have any room left for a squat rack in my room, so I am wondering which would be the best to get...a vest or a belt and why? I have been looking at the Ironwear vests for women. There is a green one that looks fairly comfortable...

    What is PNF?

    Kate, try this simple exercise yourself: Turn your head as far as you can to the left...hold...contract your muscles...relax...now turn your head further to the left. Notice that you can stretch a little more. Repeat on the right. That is PNF (proprioceptive neuromusclular facilitation) It is...

    I wasted time looking for the sale to be on the home page and refreshing my browser. DUH I just now placed my order. Now I can go to sleep.:-) ETA: I'm 17758

    What time does pre-sale start?

    I'm thinking of using express shipping this time...what about you? In the past I've reasoned that I waited months for the workouts so what is a few more days in shipping. But when I read about some actually doing the workout while mine is in transit I get a little jealous. I know it is a trivial...
