    60% ma too heavy??

    Clare & Heather, I totally agree with you that you need to push yourself through at the heavy weight. However; Cindy said that by the end she was losing her form completely. In that case, I feel like she went too heavy to start with. Yes, challenge yourself - but just as going too light...

    Hello, everyone - happy Friday! I started to log in last night, but I didn't have time to enter anything in, so I'm back again! Yesterday I did the 4DS Kickbox cardio and abs. I love this, and of the 4DS it's the one I use most. I posted a question to Cathe about what I can do after STS...

    60% ma too heavy??

    I'm not Cathe, but thought I'd jump in until she can answer to say that if you're form is faltering, you should definitely lower the weight. Go down to the next weight and see how you do with that, and once you get to 12-15 on that with good form, then go back up and try again. I believe she...

    What to do for bridesmaid dress readiness?

    Cathe, Thank You so much for the response - I'm going to have fun planning out the 6-8 weeks before the wedding, now that I know what I want to do! For the active recovery week once STS is done, could I use that as an easier cardio week to ease into my wedding prep? Thanks so much for...

    Good Morning, Everyone. I didn't log in yesterday because we had some seriously wicked lightning last night and I don't use my computer when it's storming! Sounds like everyone has done good with the workouts so far this week. Yesterday i did Disc #29, Plyo Legs. I agree, Jann. These...

    Sorry to hear about the migraine, Cathy. I get them sometimes and they stink. Today I did Timesaver #2 workout, which has Stepblast Warmup and #3 combo, then goes into all the Hi/Lo segments from SJP. From there, we go into Bonus TS Abs, and Supersets abs. I didn't do the weight segment...

    What to do for bridesmaid dress readiness?

    Hi Cathe, Hope you had a great birthday yesterday!! I'm posting to get your thoughts on which workouts to do next. I'm going to finish up Mesocycle 3 the first week of August, and I will have two months from then until my sister's wedding. I'm the Matron of Honor, and we're going to wear...

    Happy Birthday, Jann!! How cool is that, to share your birthday with our Cathe?? Have a great day! Well, I'm gearing up to do Disc 28 in a few minutes. But I wanted to say that this weekend I did a 1/2 hour Run/Walk on the treadmill Saturday night. Yesterday I did the Hardcore Extreme Hi/Lo...

    Hey there, Jann, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who was assisting on those final concentration curls for biceps. Both arms, had to do two assisted ones. I'm glad to have that one done. I tweaked my thumb yesterday opening a bottle with a lid that was stuck (or did DH tighten it up too...

    Hi, all - I don't think I came back yesterday to log in my workout. I did the LIC Premix #1 plus Ab Circuits Yoga Based Abs. I must be getting too used to one riser per side, because having two on yesterday seemed so much harder! Does anyone else notice that? Maybe I need to revisit some...

    Good Morning, Ladies! I worked out so late yesterday/last night (started at 9:30!), that I didn't have the energy to log on and tell you about it! I did Plyo Legs, and I must say - WOOHOO! I haven't had that feeling since high school, when it's the first week of basketball practice and they...

    Good evening everybody, I didn't get to do today's workout, I took the kids to a friend's farm to see what it's like to take care of chickens, sheep, pigs, goats and the family pets, too! Then we spent the afternoon swimming - so I'm counting 3 1/2 hours at the pool as my cardio!! No abs...

    Hi Everybody! Yes, it was a great weekend, my DH is the best for coming up with such fun things for us to do with the Kids. I'm going to attempt to post the pic of us coming up the hill. Did Disc #25 today and felt really strong! Did all my weights at the recommended number, and even...

    Hi Ladies, I don't seem to be able to log on when it's an off week! On Tuesday or Wednesday I did Cathe's Low Impact Step (the one for beginner/intermediate), Stability ball abs from Body Fusion and a stretchmax. Today DH and I took the kids to Kings Mountain state park. They have a 1 1/2...

    Looking for a Post STS rotation & Oct Wedding Prep

    Hi everyone, I'm entering my last Mesocycle of STS next week, and I want to plan ahead to what's next. I'm hoping that the 3rd meso will help shed those last stubborn pounds that won't budge (midsection/mommy tummy!). I will finish STS the 2nd week of August, and am Matron of Honor in...

    Editing and commenting cards

    Does this change the 1RM for subsequent workouts? I've put my information in at the calendar, then when the same exercise comes up the following week it still has NA? Any ideas?

    Hello, friends! I am back to the land of the physically active, hallalujah! I was going to do light workout stuff this week, but life happened Sunday - Tuesday. And today I looked back and saw that I didn't get disc 24 in last week! So, that's what I did today. Felt good to pick up a weight...

    Hello, ladies. I'm just jumping on to tell you that I did Cardio Fusion yesterday, All Step Cardio. Whew! That's surprisingly tough! I'm pushing today's STS to tomorrow, since the fam is leaving out early. May be doing Bootcamp cardio only today, my 16 yo niece wants to do a workout with me...

    Hey, everyone! Saturday was a clean the whole house day, so no workout that day (except said housework!). Therefore, I did Kickmax /Bootcamp Challenge yesterday. What was great was that I got DH to do it with me, and our 6 yr. old DD jumped in for some, too! This is what I love about an...
