Although MMA Kickboxing is fun and proves to be a decent workout, I did not find it to be challenging. There's a lot of down time and once a combination is taught, it is not repeated enough to feel a burn. It doesn't keep the heartrate up long enough to break a sweat. It definitely has a place...

I was only able to squeeze in 2 Shock Cardio workouts because I had hand surgery today. CCC - I loved it. I felt energized, strong and tight after this workout. MMA Kickbox - Once I master the new moves, I'll give it more power to get my heartrate up and work it to the max. I am...

Shock Cardio for Christmas I'm invoice number 2488 :( Hope it gets here for Christmas, since that is my hubby's gift to me. Cathe, you made it easy for him this year.

I thing the STS series incorporates so much core work by the nature of the program, that you are actually working your abs without even knowing it. With any weight work, I hold in my abs and squeeze towards my spine to support my core. I wouldn't feel too badly if you are not routinely doing an...

How do the STS Cardio workouts compare to Imax 2? I'm trying to get ready for STS Cardio. What would you recommend?

Nutrition Topic How about the use of high fructose corn syrup and hidden trans fats in many processed products, you can research the history of their use and detrimental effects on the lipid profile, cardiac disease and diabetes. You can incorporate how the FDA is trying to limit their use...

I love my Kindle for all the reasons stated previously. My only negative is keeping it charged. Right now my charger is lost somewhere in the vortex of my home. I'm half way through a book (On the Corner of Bitter and Sweet) and book club is in one week.

Hi All, I am on my 3rd crock pot and all boil the food on the low setting. I am looking for a crock pot that produces tender meats when cooked on low setting. Does anyone love their crock pot and if so what is the exact brand and model. Thanks so so much.

I was so excited to see the article on Baby Boomers and exercise, most of all, that the Philadelphia Inquirer interviewed Cathe. The reporters know where to go to get the most accurate information. The link for the article is below. Enjoy...

Kathryn, Thanks for the wake up call. I've been putting off Vitamin D supplement out of pure laziness. I slather on SPF 70 everyday because of a couple of suspicious moles removed. I'm off to the store to buy Vitamin D and Calcium as soon as I hit reply.

Read this article "Why exercise won't make you thin." I found that I was hungrier while doing STS . . . I did 2 rounds and gained some weight. I found that, although I ate pretty clean, calorie intake adds up quickly. Read it and let me know what you think. Also, Time magazine did issue a...

I just did disc 29 this morning with a Polar monitor. I'm 5 ft, 108 pounds and burned 537 calories. I did take slightly longer breaks at times completing the workout in 60 minutes instead of 50 minutes. Had to do that to get my heart rate down between some of the plyo exercises. I did not...

STS and Weight Gain: Don't Blame STS http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1914857,00.html Hi to all that have posted that they have gained weight with doing STS. STS works us hard and has brought us to fitness levels we haven't seen or felt before. I, too, fell into the category...

Wow, ladies, I am so impressed. All I can think of on the rest periods is bringing my heart rate down so I can get through the next exercise.

STS and P90X Hi Cindy, I purchased P90X when it first came out. Although I completed the program, I found it very difficult to get through because of the repetitive nature of the program. I never really looked forward to doing P90X, it was more of a chore for me. The ab routine is the same...

Ant traps or bait stations work great. You just have to be patient. It takes about a week to 10 days to work. The ants go in the trap and take the bait back to the queen and the colony of ants dies. I always put twice the amount of traps out and it works like a charm. Don't use vinegar at...

I did disc 1 of Meso 1 after 6 weeks away from STS becauese of a hand injury. (I only completed up to Meso 2 back in April) I can't believe I was able to get through, struggling with that last couple of reps only. When I compared the notes I took to my first attempt back in February, I had to...

I had to stop the STS program one disc shy of completing MESO 2 because of a hand injury. Now five weeks later, I'm ready to train again. Anyone else starting soon?

This is what I am doing I was on the last disc of Meso 2 when a hand injury took me out for 4 weeks. I am starting up next week with a full body muscle strength/endurance DVD on Monday and Thursday with cardio in between. Starting the following week I will pick up with Meso 3, but will need...
