    How much cardio do you need?

    This is the last info I heard on the topic. "Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans." If you look into it, though, they'll also mention that 150...

    Revisiting Stretch Max

    It's a great question, according to my chiropractor. Years ago, I asked him that same question, because the roller he gave me hurt. If you have a stability ball, you can kind of arch your back over it and rock it around a bit for a slight fascial release. You can also use a massage ball or...

    Hiccups between chapters in STS 2.0

    Aqua Girl, it is just a small "blip", but I found it bothersome due to the type of workout it is. I don't notice things like that when I'm active, but I found it extremely distracting in the stretch workout. You might want to do the stretch workout before deciding against replacement. It didn't...

    Regarding STS2.0 Abs

    I use mine a bit on the soft side (less inflated) too for the same reasons as Hazlady.

    Thoughts on Intermittent Fasting

    My husband tried it years ago. He dropped a few pounds, but gained them when he stopped doing his intermittent fasting. He didn't eat anything after supper, until lunch the next day. He didn't really get hungry, because he had a desk job, and he didn't exercise until evening (after supper). He...

    STS 2.0 Wall hooks for tubing.

    I agree, but if I remember right... I'm thinking I saw a video of how to use Cathe's door anchors. I'm almost thinking that they slip through the hinge side of the door? I could be wrong about that. I was having very low iron level issues back when all the STS 2.0 videos were coming out, so I...

    STS 2.0 Wall hooks for tubing.

    The door anchor is fine. Cathe designed the series so that we can work out with what we have. I don't have a door anywhere near my living room (open floor plans aren't as great as one would think). So, I had a choice between using bands by themselves or using anchors. I have wrist issues. In...

    Regarding STS2.0 Abs

    Thanks you for asking this. I used to be able to get by with doing abs twice a week. I'm at a point in my life now, however, where my body is at its best when I do them 3 times a week. I really lose ground whenever I try to reduce it, which I've tried to do several times, because I really...

    Hiccups between chapters in STS 2.0

    Oh my goodness! Now I know why I love doing business with you guys. I thought we were giving you info about our players so that when you fix the glitches, future buyers wouldn't have an issue (after your current supply runs out). I can't tell you how wonderful it is to do business with a company...

    Body Parts- Shoulders "message"

    Aqua girl, you probably missed it the post, because you were in the Emergency Room. You're not working out yet, are you? Aren't you supposed to be resting or something? You'd better take care of yourself or I'm going to have to figure out how to type in my strictest mom voice! lol I've been...

    STS 1.0 and STS 2.0 Rotation

    JessLynn39, I see that you're a new member to the forum and I just wanted to say "welcome". The more members, the more people we can toss ideas back and forth between. In answer to your question, I am not planning on combining the 2 at this point in time, because that's not where I'm headed in...

    Total Body Stretch (STS 2.0)

    So, just finished up with a busy week of my husband's armored combat fighting, my son's Special Olympics, and time with family and my grand niece's first birthday party at campground. All were out of town, so that's code for I've been slacking off on my workouts. I decided to get my stiff body...

    Hiccups between chapters in STS 2.0

    I'm having the glitch issue with the DVD too. My player is a Magnavox DVD recorder/VCR #ZV247MG9. I don't know how old it is, but it's at least 10 years old. Honestly, it could be much older than that. We've had newer ones that don't make it 6 months, so we always ended up throwing them away and...

    Requesting the first week of workout schedule for 1 month and 3 month rotation

    I'm going to do a bit of reviewing of my DVDs before I start anything, because I like to familiarize myself with the premixes, new moves, an idea of what weights I'm likely to need for what, etc. For those of you that want to start right away and are concerned about not having a rotation though...

    Foam Rolling Upper Body

    Foam rolling sounds like as good of a place to start as any. Weekends are my active recovery days, so I think I'm going to give it a shot. Thanks for the reviews.

    @forum admin- package still shows from last evening- pending acceptance at Glassdoor

    Aqua Girl, I thought I was exited about getting STS 2.0, but you're as bad as a kid on Christmas Eve. You're going to have yourself all worn before it gets there. lol When it arrives, might I suggest doing one of the recovery workouts first? lol Seriously, hope you get it tomorrow. :)

    STS 2.0 Wall hooks for tubing.

    Debinmi, We live in an older home that has those really wide entries between rooms with the decorative woodwork. So, I used a 2x6 (and stained it to match the existing woodwork), because I wanted it to be the same width as the wood framing that was already there. I don't have a separate workout...

    STS 2.0 Wall hooks for tubing.

    My P.T. said to stand as close to the wall as I can (facing it, with my toes touching the baseboard) and reach above my head. The top anchor goes at the end of your finger tip. Hope that makes sense. Stand arm's length from the wall and reach your arms out straight in front of you. Where your...
