I was wondering this also... I'm not currently doing STS, but I am consdering it, but wondering if I should get to my goal weight first. I am currently lifting heavier weights than I ever have trying to build some strength and lose weight at the same time. Kathryn, I asked that very question a...

Jonahnah, I'd like to know the update on this too. :D

really...? I read to put on muscle you need more calories, is that just for bodybuilding? Do us regular folks do fine putting on muscle on fat loss and maintenance calories? do our bodies go for our fat stores to atleast repair the muscles?

This is probably a stupid question... but ... If you need to eat more calories than your body needs to really build muscle mass, what if you are restricting calories to lose weight and doing some serious weight training, would your body use the excess fat stores for energy to build muscle?

I like her workouts. She mentioned on her radio show just this week, her workouts aren't meant for putting on mass. They are meant for leaning out, that's all, so don't expect to go heavy with them. I think they are nice change for cardio days.

I've been eating 4-5 mostly, 3 regular meals and after my workouts I have a protein shake with some fruit, flaxseeds, almond milk so that's almost a 4th meal. Then at night I might have a treat under 200calories just so I don't get overly hungry and and binge (happens usually at night time with...

I like CLX cardio also, I can't wait for the Insanity program to come out since it looks similar x100! For weights, I think Cathe is still "better" for form and general following along and gym style weight training to build muscle. Cathe also covers floor work in most of her leg workouts...

That's what I was planning on doing, using a few tubes to get make it as challenging as I can. Are you seeing good results with the tubing? I know even using multiple heavy bands isn't the same overall body effect pull/chin ups have, but hopefully they do give some results.

Here's another question about results; how many are just using the tubing to sub for the pull ups and still seeing good results? The chinups and pullups probably have more of a calorie burn since they work more muscles, will not doing them have a big impact on results? TIA.

nice! are you following Cathe's cardio rotations for STS or your own (if so what?)

Janie- I have trouble with deadlifts also. Cathe went over deadlifts already: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpoLV8hdHG4&feature=channel_page She explained it well, but I still have trouble. I get the stretch in my hamstrings on the way down and I'm making sure to keep my shoulders back, abs...

Jennifer, some people say they don't like it at first based on just Burn 1. I'm glad you liked Burn 1 the second time around. Try all the phases before writting the program off, because they are all very different.

Sounds like you need to bring a snack along with you. some almonds, protein bar, piece of fruit. I'm still struggling with eating clean, but I find it helps to experiment with different spices and finding healthier substitutions for my favorite foods. Check all your favorite restaurants...

potato chips- all kinds. pizza too, but could you really avoid "tasting" pizza? you can just smell a really good pizza and get hungry.

Jonahnah, is BBL coming out this month? It would make sense for them to release this a little before summer. Insanity is coming out in the summer, another coach said Rev Abs is set for fall, and I think CLX+ is for winter?

I don't really notice these things unless it's really obvious. but since Cathe said it wasn't touched up, then she does look great on her own without touchups!

Yeah, there's not too much info on this one and the BB coach preview didn't show any of the workout/s. but alot of their upcoming programs look more advanced, so this can be advanced or they are coming out with something new for more intermediate exercisers. now I wonder if this is the one...

This is an area I need to work on also. I used to be pretty flexable in my teens, touching beyond my toes and touching the floor. Not sure if age or workingout has tightened my hips and hamstrings... The yoga and stretch X DVDs from P90X is why I admire the whole P90X program, it really is a...

All the people had to be 30 or something pounds overweight to get into the test group (for better dramatic before/afters), I'm not sure about their heights. A couple of test group people made blogs for other Beachbody programs and they said BB gives them these 5 small meals a day, and the food...

I didn't hear about this one, but BeachBody is coming out with Brazilian Butt Lift. I wonder if it's the same guy?
