    RT Performance Anxiety!

    Jacque, It sounds like you live on the West Coast. If so, I can certainly share with you this story about a similar situation. I spent 2 glorious weeks on the South Island of New Zealand this April. The last 3 days of my holiday were spent in Sydney. So, I had to go west across two more...

    RT Performance Anxiety!

    I wanted to let you and other newbies to know you have nothing to worry about. Just do what you can and don't feel badly if you are off beat, can't jump as high, make a wrong turn on the step, or poop out a tad early during an intensity drill. Everyone going will be at different fitness...

    Suggestions for the Cathe National Tour?

    I think Cathe should do a California tour; San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. IDEA is headquartered out here so perhaps she can swing by their office and say hi... I do like the idea of a nutrition seminar/briefing. If possible, I think Ann Louise Gittleman would be a great...

    ANNOUNCEMENT: News re: RT 2009 Agenda

    I would book a return flight for anything later than 1:30. Our brunch is scheduled to end at 11:00 and this should allow you enough time to get to your gate in time for boarding.

    Hi Elys, You need to print out your STS Workout Card that cooresponds to the workout you're currently doing. This will automatically record the poundage to use for each exercise. There are no abs workouts in STS.

    Michael Jackson -- Cardiac Arrest

    Went to Neverland Ranch on Monday (we just happened to be in the area). My friend with me was interviewed on 5PM news of local NBC station. Very cool for her to be on TV (and, saw myself in background).... Am glad we went there prior to the hoards of people expected to go there on Friday....

    Can anyone do Powermax on 8" step?

    I also used to do Power Max, MIC, and others on an 8" step. That was back in the old days, though. Now, I do everything on a 6" step and get a great workout. :-)

    Hi Elys, No, this didn't happen to me. What exercise was it for? What poundage did you record and for how many reps?

    Just for fun--what was your first concert?

    Hmmm. It was either Billy Idol or the Eurythmics. I still go see Annie Lennox live when she's on tour! Great voice!

    max calculater for the sts problems

    You can use plate mates or weighted gloves to make your dumbbells heavier. For example, if the target weight says 11 pounds, then you can use your 10 pound dumbell and a one pound weighted glove. Likewise, you can use one 1.25 pound plate weight on the 10 pound dumbbell and you will then have...

    Please suggest alternate exercise for barbell front squats

    I may actually change over to dumbbells as well. I can really only lift 45 lb barbell over my head safely. I tried with a 50 lb barbell, and had a problem lifting it back off of me. I'd rather be safe than get hurt.

    Please suggest alternate exercise for barbell front squats

    How about standing on a 2x4 piece of wood (or 3 lb dumbbells) as you do in 4DS? Then hold your dumbbells at your sides and squat.

    Meso 1, 2 or 3; which is your favorite?

    Hmmm. I also am doing meso 3 and wished there was more time to rest for upper body. Another 15 seconds would have been perfect! :D But, I agree with long rest period for squat rack legs. Just want to hit skip to next chapter on my remote control... However, I did end up with DOMS in the...

    Meso 1, 2 or 3; which is your favorite?

    It really depends on what you consider fun factor. For me, I really enjoyed Meso 2. The pace was perfect for me. I constantly had to pause the player for Meso 1 to change weights, change equipment, etc.

    Wherer's Cathe?

    I enjoyed the entire segment. It was great seeing Jai and Lorraine demoing the weighted vest. They were perfectly in sync and did a great job. I wonder if they were getting tired? ;-) I missed what the Ryka person said regarding Cathe (I turned on the TV when this was on and must have...
