I just ordered the ACE study materials and hope to get through it in about 6 months. I also heard about NSCA certification; which did you do? Is there a real advantage of one over the other (I see they are both accredited)? What was your experience preparing for the exam, and taking the exam...

Oh, and cardio will be included in STS; I don't remember the exact details though. I know I've read about it in FAQs. I'm also a similar body type to yours, and my body reacts very quickly to strength training, which is why I think we would benefit from STS during weight loss.

I had asked this a while back and the consensus is that it would be fine to do STS during weight loss. I will do it again (with new 1RMs) when I reach my goal weight. I have about another 30 lbs to lose; I have lost 75 so far and have done a variety of strength training throughout. It does...

Thanks for the clip! Wow, my IT band was on fire just watching those side lunges off the high step! Yeeeeeeee!

I'm in the rebel group as well; but I am going to err on the heavy side to really challenge my muscles. (P.S. Not only am I a rebel, I am also a bit lazy...)

Thanks, I was wondering about this!

Yes and yes! You put the total weight you are using to work that body part.

ME kicks my butt! I was so proud of myself the first time I got through all of those bicep curls with 10 lb weights. I still shave off a couple of those static lunges and tricep dips (one of the hardest exercises for me), but I can almost do all of them now.

These are great suggestions. I think I will actually just loop a long resistance band over a door and then shut it in there. Can't wait for the PowerTower to come out!

Hi Linda! I added you as a friend. This is Erin from the Cathe Challengers.

Thank you! I think I will try doing the workouts consecutively and see how that goes; I am used to doing high-impact stuff on consecutive days. Then I'll have a good idea of how to incorporate the individual workouts into my overall routine.

I just bought CTX and the workouts sound awesome, and I know they work as stand-alone workouts. I couldn't quite tell how they are designed to be used, though. Are they meant so you can do the workouts 6 days in a row, in order? I figured it was similar in style to 4-Day Split in that regard...

Cathe (or anyone who may know), I have been losing weight on WeightWatchers and am an advanced exerciser. I do strength training 3 days a week and cardio on most days. I have lost 75 lbs and am about 30 lbs away from goal weight. I've pre-ordered STS and can't wait to get it! My thought...
