I want my downloads, please!

I haven't gotten an e-mail yet. That seems like it would be pretty straighforward to send out if the DVD's were ready (bummer that we have to wait, seems like if they wanted to encourage download ordering they would send those out ahead of the DVD's but that is another discussion entirely). So...

Yeah, these are great. I definitely use these while not doing sts.

Forgot to say that I love weight lifting, too. My favorite type of exercise is the iron. I have both sts and the X. There are some X workouts that are great, but there is a boredom factor due to so few workouts in the three month program. That does not exist in sts due to the variety. To...

Do not get meso I if you are bothered by equipment changes. It is an equipment hog. However, I really only noticed it the first time I did the workouts. I can now (third rotation) do the workouts without pausing and even am waiting around in the back and tri workouts where the breaks tend to be...

When we moved to Colorado four years ago, I immediately noticed how fit everyone is. I do live in a mountain community where folks tend to be even more fit, but for the outdoor enthusiast, it is an awesome place to live. Congrats on getting married on top of the world!

I really like power hour, but the other workouts one that DVD not as much. Ss/pp while I enjoy those workouts I hardly ever do them as they are not generally what I am looking for which is a shorter, easier workout. If you want shorter, total body workouts those fit the bill. If you prefer more...

Back in the day when I did belong to a gym it was for group fitness classes and/or convenience: I used to workout on my lunch hour. Now, no gym and not missing it as I have build my home gym to a level that is enough for me. If you are new to fitness, gyms are a great place to learn a lot...

I think so much depends on your personal desires and what results you want. Personally, I believe you could use some heavier DB's. I use my 20#'s all the time, not just with STS, also my 25's. Additional weights for your BB would be pretty cheap. That's where you would get the most "bang for...

I am 48 and have been experiencing signs of perimenopause for a couple of years now. Mine are irregular periods and some moodiness, but nothing major. I feel I have gotten great results from programs like STS and P90X. Really, my body looks better than ever. I have also recently started...

Boxing workout: just upper body in the combo section, then a short blast which is stuff like hopping and jumprope. End with an ab section and also the heavy bag bonus. Kickbox workout: more "traditional Cathe" where the combos combine punching and kicking. Ab workout at end. Fusion...

With a lot of the bicep work, particularly the endurance sets, I think your problem may be in your forearm in addition to biceps. If you want to lift heavy with your biceps, definitely work those forearm assisting muscles. Also, in ME, I believe Cathe and crew are lifting 25 lb bb's. That...

How long is your plateau? I weigh every day because I am not freaked out by weight fluctuations and sometimes get caught in short plateaus. I broke out of one by eating a much smaller dinner than normal due to circumstances and the next day I was down a pound. Also, I acknowledged I was...

I would agree with the leg workouts having a cardio effect and not needing extra cardio. For the upper body workouts, I tend to skip Cathe's stretch and add on a short yoga stretch instead (Rodney Yee AM Yoga for your week are great for this, 20 minutes) or I also do Cathe's stretches from the...

I always lift a bit lighter after STS and think I still keep my results. The key is to keep pushing yourself, even with much lighter weights than you lifted in STS. I find that even with something like the pyramids, for example, I lift heavier than I did before to keep up the same...

I have not done an STS/P90X hybrid, but am doing an Supreme 90/P90X rotation. I do P90X weights and S90 cardio following the S90 rotation. I think the Supreme 90 cardio is really great. Short but challenging. The ultimate ball is really great, too. I've always thought the P90X weight...

Log your calories every day. Really. This keeps you accountable. It also helps encourage me to workout. I want those calories in my food budget! I also weigh every day which doesn't work for everyone. If you are someone who gets discouraged if the scale ooches up, then don't do this...

This is such an individual thing considering the size of your property and how you use your utilities. We have solar panels (for our electricity) so our utilities are low in the summer and higher in the winter when our solar doesn't kick in as much. Also, we have gas heat, so that is higher...

pjlippert - a road trip would be fun! My brother lives in Monument (Bent Tree) so I am familiar a bit with your area. I think I'm going to go outside and enjoy the 73 degrees we've been having all day. Anyone jealous??

I'll play. I live in Evergreen which is the mountain suburb just west of Denver. Lots of retired folks up here, so your parents would fit right in! There are also a lot of families with children. The missing demographics are 20-30 single-types and minorities. Evergreen is mostly...
