Oh My Am I Sore! I started my 6-month STS program Today, by doing STS Meso 1, Disk 1, No-Equipment Abs, and a 20 minute jog (it was so nice outside today!) I am so sore -- glad I soaked in the hot tub & took some Naproxin afterwards! Could only do the push-ups on my knees. This was a...

Aww WantFit! Please do start a check in thread & let me know where it is so I can find it and I will certainly make sure we can check in on eachother. I also sent you a friend request so I could add you as a workout friend. I must commend you on getting up at 4:45 am to get your workout in...

Kathryn I agree it's not particularly travel-friendly UNLESS you just print out the workout cards & take them to the gym & do the exercises without the DVD's. I decided to utilize April's suggestion & began Wk1, Meso 1 today; this way the "active rest" called for right after Week 4/Meso 1...

April, thanks I like the way you think I had not considered this before....

I typically do abs daily. I will follow Cathe's program and do a BRIEF routine on cardio days. My main thing is that I MUST do them right after I warm up, before I continue with the RT or cardio. I often find myself too exhausted to complete my ab work after I've completed my RT or cardio.

Hi: Can you provide suggestions for traveling with STS? I will be out of town 2/20-2/22, and will be on a vacation and cruise 3/6-3/15. I was planning to bring my DVD's with me. The DVD's may not be practical on the cruise, so as a back-up I was going to simply print out my workout...

Thanks for this post. I just finished my 3-5 star 1RM's on Friday, and will focus this week on the 1-2 star 1RM's, and will go back and re-do any 1RM for which I had more than 20 reps, and increase the weight to get a more accurate test. I should then be ready to begin with Cathe on 2/16.

Hi Karen Rose2Boys the Bodybar sounds like a great idea for improvising until the Pullup Tower is available, let me know how it works for you! " That's a great idea! I could use my Body Bar, it's padded & i won't have to take the time to remove plates from bb, although it's a little thick...

Set, you have to do what your doctor recommends, but someone else on this forum advised that 1RM of 20 may not give the best results. If you enter the weight at which you can lift 3 sets of 10 with good form, that should give you the info you need to figure out your 1RM, and then follow what...

Slenamond, I am so glad you started this very interesting thread. I believe you will look leaner and not bulky. I, too, am 5'1", and, like you, looking leaner is what I am hoping for. I pre-ordered STS in August, 2008 because I really need assistance with weight training, and I believe STS...

Wantfit just checking in with you how are you making out are you sticking with it? I noticed that Cathe is starting 2/16 so I'll wait to start at that time. I have done all the 1 RM tests for the 3-5 star exercises. I will spend this next week completing the 1 RM tests for the 1-2 star...

After I posted this I found out Cathe will be starting 2/16 so I'll wait and start then as well.

Hi: Thanks for posting this thread it was very helpful. I actually made an investment of appx. $300 to get many of the DVD's in Cathe's Cardio DVD selections for STS. My reasoning was that this investment, coupled with my investment in STS, was less than hiring a personal trainer for the 6...

Thanks for posting this info it was very helpful. I will go back, increase the weights and re-do my I rep max test for any entries where I was able to do 20+ reps

Please disregard I just became a more savvy shopper....

I love this rotation, thank you. But, is it possible that I can get some sort of volume discount on the DVD's for this cardio rotation? I just purchased 4 of the DVD's recommended above at a cost of $143.96 (Low Max, Drill Max; Imax2; Kick, Punch & Crunch). Just to get me through the...

I, too, will begin Meso 1 on Feb 8th. I am opting for the 6-month rotation.

Tarheel Mom: You Rock Girl, thanks so much for answering both my questions it really helped me. Wantfit: I will DEFINITELY workout with you b/c neither your or I can quit after a mere 3 weeks we've got to build muscle! I am starting Meso 1 on Sunday and I am learning from your experiences...

Hi Wantfit: No one responded. From what I have read, the reason for the 1-2 stars is that those exercises are not as critical as the 3-5 star exercises, the 5-stars being in most need of doing a 1 rep max. That said, did you begin Meso 1 yet? Have you noticed a difference in not having...

Karen from what I read, you enter 20...
