    Difference between Cathe’s barbell and a standard barbell

    The dog ate it. I can't drop or lose anything - ever. If I do, I find it chewed up and drooly (not sure if that's a real word) in the dog's bed. He's really naughty. I never thought I'd find myself constantly saying, "What on earth are you chewing on? "What's in your mouth?" or "Open up - let me...

    Metabolic Total Body

    Vivbc, thanks for the quad info. I have an old knee injury that I have to "baby" off and on, but it hasn't been bothering me lately. My "good" knee however has been twinging. Nothing too bad, but I've never had any trouble with it, and I was confused. I spent over 16 hours in a vehicle a couple...

    Cathe’s New Door Anchor - Turn Your Door Into a Gym

    Thanks Jenn, very informative. What a clever design. I'm currently doing physical therapy for my back and my therapist has me using a band with a knot tied in it for some of my exercises. I have to shut the band in the knob side (the side that open) of the door. I've went through 3 bands in less...

    Explain the different levels of STS 2.0 exercise variations?

    Cathe sometimes mentions some of that kind of thing during her workouts, but I have a horrible memory. So, I agree that it would be very helpful to have that kind of info (muscle recruitment, level of difficulty, etc.) easily accessible before putting my DVD in the player. Debinmi's idea of...

    Suggestions for mats & rollers?

    Wow, that sounds like a project. We live in a 4-season state, so I'd have to heat and cool it. I don't think I could do 2 containers, because I'd need it to not take up too much of the dog's backyard. But if it was just my workout area (my hubby uses different equipment than I do), that might be...

    Suggestions for mats & rollers?

    Well, I can't change my son's chair out for anything too different, because he has to have a specific height and style for his disabilities. I'm limited on couch length (any longer & it will block the front door if I don't kick the elliptical out of the living room. Our couch is less than a year...

    Suggestions for mats & rollers?

    We have a 3 car garage, but my husband won't clean it! He has it totally trashed out. I don't allow his "hoarding" habits in the house, but I can't seem to get our garage under control. lol

    Suggestions for mats & rollers?

    Actually, we've been looking for awhile now. We have owned 3 homes (not all at once), so we're not looking forward to moving. Every time we've moved, we've claimed it was our last time. Because of my son's special needs, we can't have homes with real open floor plans, so older homes work better...

    Suggestions for mats & rollers?

    All good ideas, but couch and furniture all sit too close to the floor (Roomba doesn't even fit under it), no wall space, and the one closet in the whole house is upstairs and stuffed with 3 people's clothes. Big house, but not the best design. We already have a decorative trunk that doubles (or...

    STS Bars?

    Sorry you have to wait on your bars, but I'm glad you're getting your crown replaced. I don't have any, but my husband does. One fell out one time and he was really having trouble eating without it.

    Video Clip Of Cathe's STS 2.0 Upper Body Foam Rolling Recovery Workout

    Hey, Where's Al? How come he doesn't get to foam roll? Poor Al. This looks like a wonderful recovery workout. Now I can learn how to do more than just rolling my back up and down on a roller. My chiropractor has me do that. He also gave me a roller that kills my back! I got Cathe's and now I see...

    Cathe's STS 2.0 Upper Body 1 Workout

    Snowlover, I can relate. If I do manage to slip in a workout, I end up doing yoga in an effort to loosen up my aching back. Thank goodness for Cathe's premixes and her perfect 30. I think those short yoga sessions are the only thing that's keeping me walking in an upright position. Snow is a LOT...

    STS Bars?

    I can't help with the size on the bars, because I don't have them. No room (shedding a tear:-(, because I don't have the room. So sad. I can tell you, though, that the bar pad is a great investment. I don't use it, because I don't lift heavy enough to worry about it. I got it for my husband. He...

    Suggestions for mats & rollers?

    My living room is my workout area, so, yeah, I kind of have to make it work. My bookcases have baskets of bands in them. My weights are tucked under a desk in another room. You don't even want to know what all I have stowed in my poor dog's feeding area, which is also a pantry/laundry room...

    Cathe's STS 2.0 Upper Body 1 Workout

    Oh, that makes sense. Good, I need all the help I can get. I thought it was to make it more challenging, which I wasn't sure I was up to. I already have a small dog that sometimes climbs on my back while I'm doing planks or pushups. lol Thanks DeeDee!

    STS Bars?

    Aaaah! Not the bars! I just saw them on the site as well as the coupon. I don't have room for them. I've been having to periodically shake myself to keep myself from buying the weight plates with the grips, because I'm out of room. Hmmmm. Maybe I should move to a bigger house? Yeah, that seems...

    Post your STS 2.0 questions here!

    That's a really good question. I measured my metal ones, as I don't have the Cathe ones. My 10lb weights are apprx. 9" in diameter. So, that would only leave me 4 1/2" (not even figuring the bar width) to slip under. Vinyl weights are usually a bit bigger in order to be able to fill them with...

    STS 2.0 Fierce Faces

    Oh my! I don't know whether to feel challenged or intimidated by those faces! I can see why there's going to be a strong focus on recovery. lol
