    Playing downloads from USB drive

    I would also Luke to know. I have experimented with this. I don't think my tv plays video from usb directly. I have a wd live box that will. I also have a 500 GB external harddrive that plugs into the wd live. The only problem with the latter is that it takes a long time for it to compile...

    Weighted Gloves for Hard Strikes?

    I think that might be a bit heavy since some of the sequence of punches is quick. 12 ounces is .75 pounds so i would recommend maybe 1 lb or less. I used the small sand fillled gloves like I would for other boxing-type workouts. Just my opinion. I guess it depends on how strong you are.

    Equipment for home gym

    I bought a bench that folds up when I'm not using it. I bought it used online. I didn't even know they existed. It came with attachments for fly and legs but I took them off because they were not comfortable. My bench has the barbell holder which I find useful.

    recovering from muscle spasms

    I had something similar happen. I got a cat scan done that showed a bulging disc that was pinching my nerve. I went to a physiotherapist who gave me exercises to stretch my spine and strengthen my core. The dr recommended that I keep walking even if it hurt. I finally got pain killers so that I...

    Who else loves their Keurig?

    Does anyone use their own grounds in the keurig? I know they sell a re-usable k-cup basket for this.

    Insanity/Asylum/Turbo fire

    I have turbofire and enjoy it. If you can do Cathe's workouts you can do these. I think they are a bit easier but a lot of fun; the music is great. The strength workouts in turbo fire were too easy in my opinion. They used resistance bands so maybe I just wasn't using a tough enough band. The...

    New Year's Resolution Rotation(s)

    I am planning on starting a 3 1/2 month rotation of STS for the first time. Would you recommend this rotation or should I do the disks in order the first time through. Thanks, can't wait to start.

    Cathe for Canadian's (& international's)

    I'm in Edmonton too. I discovered Cathe through comments on collage video: somewhere in the reviews of other videos people were comparing them to Cathe. I went to her website and now I'm hooked.

    Trx

    suspension workout I second the trx-type workout. Suspension training seems to be increasing in popularity at gyms. There is a program with DVDs out there that I've seen on an infomercial but the style of workout is not for me (I prefer Cathe). There are several suspension strap systems on the...

    Gliding Discs

    I think you need to focus on using your heel as a break. I was treating these like a fast, shallow plyo-Jack (with gliding instead of jumping). Also, try not going as wide at first until you get the technique.

    Any Canadians get their dvds yet?

    I got my discs today in Edmonton. I pre-ordered early so I got them free with the downloads. I've been using face towels instead of discs and I'm excited to try with the discs: the discs feel like the will slide better.

    sts download all at once?

    You download them one at a time and you'll still have access: just save the email link. I'm not sure how long you get. It took me months to get around to downloading them all. I downloaded 3 at a time (one week at a time) and it took under an hour for the three.

    Thinking about ordering ..but download vs

    I bought the download and it comes with the user guide download. I think everything you need is in the workout manager, including printing out workout cards to track your weights and reps. I got the downloads thinking I would use it at the gym but found I rather work out at home. It was a bit...

    Thoughts on Chalene Extreme???

    I did a rotation of chalene extreme last summer and enjoyed it. I was recovering from a lower back problem and appreciated that every exercise could be done with either bands or free weights. I also was able to stick to the schedule due to the shorter workouts. I work 12 hour shifts and was able...

    STS Total Body Dvd vs. the download version

    I downloaded the sts total body. If you like premixes it might be worth buying the DVD If you are familiar with the workout blender it is easy to make premixes because the download is very well chaptered. There are about 40 chapters in the download plus a compound chest and shoulder and a...

    blender saves videos as XML document

    I just downloaded the workout manager and created a custom video. I can preview it and it appears to have created the video in my library. When I try to retrieve the video file to import it into itunes, I can only find an XML document of the same name as the video I created. Am I looking in the...

    Puzzle mats

    I have heard of people using the puzzle-type shock absorbing mats to workout on. I'm just wondering if anyone has an opinion on weather they help for the high impact workouts. Also just wondering how popular they are. Thanks.
