    Wen

    I purchased the samplers once and I didn't like the fig either. My favorites are the Sweet Almond and Tea Tree, I also like the Lavender. My hairs dry too.

    Question for STS Veterans

    I've done STS 3 times, as the program was designed. I'm thinking of doing it again, but this time skipping meso1. What do you think, have any of you done just meso 2 & 3? Most recently I've done XTrain, I just feel like STS is calling my name again, but meso 1 isn't my favorite. Just...

    Barbell weight question

    Count the bar. My bar weights 12 lbs, so if the weight is 40 lbs, I'd put 14 on each side. When I use a vest, say the vest is 10 lbs, and I'm holding 50 lbs on the barbell (including the bar) that's a total of 60 lbs. I lift alone, usually at 5:30 in the morning. Nobody else is awake at that...

    Help with info on Dog Food- Pure Vita vs Science Diet

    I just picked up our family's new puppy last week from the breeder and she specifically told me not to feed him science diet because its way to greasy and is hard on their stomachs (he's a collie). She did tell me what to look for in a pet food but didn't recommend a specific brand as there's...

    Running & Cathe

    I'm currently training for my 3rd full marathon. I've run many half marathons all while following a 3 day a week running schedule. After my kids were born and I had a few extra pounds to drop I'd increase the number of days of running but my body would always end up sore. Usually my feet...

    Running & Cathe

    I'm training for a marathon too! In the past what I've done is run 3 days a week, do weight workouts 3 days a week, then take a rest day, which is the day after my long run. I've noticed in the past that doing plyo legs from the STS series seems to make running easier for me, so I always...

    CW-X compression

    I have a pair of these and I do like them. I will say I found them at Marshall's for around $80. I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay "retail" price for them but they are nice. I've also seen them available for a discounted price on amazon.

    Not everyone is 5'2" - or physics matters.

    I'm just over 5'8", and agree. When I do the full set ups in X Train I feel like I'm on fast forward. Because my upper body is longer than Cathe's, it just takes me longer to move the lever from the floor to an upright postition. I also really notice it when I do the pikes on a body...

    Any Runners out there?

    Plyo legs made running so much "easier" for me. It just felt like my legs didn't have to work as hard. I too live in a hilly area and we run hills every time we run, it's just unavoidable.

    Any Runners out there?

    I've benn running for years. I run 3 times a week, even when training for a half or full marathon. I find more than 3 times a week is to much for me. During "race prep" I'll throw in a plyo legs work out and work upper body 2 days a week. When I'm not getting ready for a race I might throw...

Normally when I travel for longer that 3 or 4 days I like to take my own shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer, ect. little things like that. However, in the past I arrive at my destination to find many of my products have exploded during...

    Full marathon training

    I wanted to say that the last time I trained for a marathon, I did plyo legs from STS once a week, and it made running so much easier for me. I will certainly be incorporating plyo legs into a training schedule again.

    Full marathon training

    My "baseline" is 6 miles 3 times a week, tues, thurs, and sat. That's what I run every week when I'm not training for a race. My typical training schedule would keep tuesday between 6 or 8 miles. Thursday would usually be 8 to 10 miles, and saturday was always my long run, increasing by 2...
