    STS first time!

    Catching up on posts now, in between dinner and laundry… Missy, I have not done To the Max yet… could it work as a cardio option for STS? I must have missed your truck driving picture. I’m going to go back and look for it! Carolyn, I had no idea jean jackets were back in style! I have...

    STS first time!

    Hi everyone, it's a "drive by check-in" for me. Sorry! I'll try to read up and post more tonight. I did Disk 8 yesterday and used a doorway pull-up bar. I can't lift my whole body weight so I used a chair and did those sort of leaning pull-ups and chin-ups. It was definitely better than the...

    STS first time!

    Hello! I did not want to get out of bed again this morning, and finally made it out around 5. I started doing Slide and Glide, but found that my rug is just not big enough to do this workout without constantly moving the rug around, so about 10 minutes into the cardio I gave up and popped in...

    STS first time!

    Oh, thanks, Marie! You are gorgeous and you don't even look pregnant there! All the girls are beautiful and your Tony is a cutie too. Thanks for posting them! Missy, how awesome about the compliment! And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say you weren't entitled to a snack, it just struck me as...

    STS first time!

    Hello everyone, I was really busy last week and couldn’t seem to find the time to check-in with everyone. So now you get a SUPER DUPER long post. Sorry! This morning I did Disk 7. I was feeling pretty good about doing the first couple of sets of push-ups on the toes along with Cathe and...

    STS first time!

    I am breezing by again for another quick check-in. I was just going to print my card for tomorrow, but it's funny how you can just get sucked into the forums :) It's been a busy week for me. I did Athletic Step today and the medicine ball abs from Ab Circuits. I had forgotten all about the Ab...

    Rhythmic Step 2!

    I would also LOVE to see another dancy step-only step video, including the "challenge" (i.e. repeat all combos from the beginning) at the end.

    STS first time!

    Another super quick post before I hit the hay. I printed out my workout card for tomorrow and it's 2 pages! Should I be scared? :) Also I went to TJ Max and found some wrist weights that were 1.5 lbs each. While I was there I remembered that I had bought something similar so when I got home...

    Starting STS (1st time) Tomorrow!!! (7-8-12)

    Hi MacKenzie! Hi Si! I was feeling Disk 4 after I was done, and today after I was done, I was wondering if Cardio Kicks was the best cardio pick, since I am doing back tomorrow. I have wondered that about doing Low Max before the legs day too, since Low Max is very leg oriented (although it...

    STS first time!

    Hi all, I did Cardio Kicks for my cardio today. I haven’t done that one in a really long time and I was dripping sweat after. Even though Cathe said I didn’t need to do any abs :) I did the abs that are tacked on to the Cardio Hits DVD (I think maybe from S&H Back?). My son woke up twice in...

    STS first time!

    Hi everyone, just an "all about me" post, and I'll be back tonight to read and respond to everyone else's posts. I did Disk 4, and felt stronger today. The push-ups were still the hardest thing about this workout, but the barbell with the band was a really good move too! I really need to get...

    STS first time!

    And I forgot to thank you, Si, for the reply on my food question! I will try to suck down something Monday morning before my workout. I have those Muscle Milk shakes from CostCo - maybe I'll try that. Generally I'm just trying to get out to the workout room before I crawl back into bed :)...

    STS first time!

    Hey everyone! Hope your Saturday is going well! Missy, very scary stuff! Sometimes I lose my vision too - just the way you described, gets blurry first then starts to black out. Generally, I do NOT have the headache, so I have always attributed it to dehydration or low blood sugar. Really...

    Quick post to say... my butt is killing me this morning! Hurts so good, Cathe!

    Thanks, Si! This is a little test message to see if my ticker appears. (Fingers crossed.) :)

    Starting STS (1st time) Tomorrow!!! (7-8-12)

    Dawn, thanks for the info on the bands and the form. I'm going to look into that! Where do you buy from? Suzanne, thanks! And good luck to you too! Si, how did legs go for you? I did that one today and thought of you! How do you all get those tickers in your signatures? Have a...

    STS first time!

    Happy Friday, Ladies! I just finished up Disk 3 (Legs) and I liked it! Cathe was “giddy” in it. I noticed she called it the “first” workout of STS, so there must have been a change up in the order at some point. I didn’t do a lot of the 1RM for legs, so I was guessing a bit on the weight...

    Story (what's your real name?), thanks for that explanation. I guess I'm doing the 3.5 month then. :) Justina, funny you should mention it because I just figured that out before I came here. The workout manager is pretty darn cool!

    Starting STS (1st time) Tomorrow!!! (7-8-12)

    Hi Justina, I did the 1RM test for all of the 3, 4 and 5 starred exercises. I did all of this in a single day (but in 2 sessions) and I was spent! I'm not sure that was the best approach, since I was pretty tired at the end and wonder how accurate some of those tests were. I am going to redo...
