I didn't see any instructions with the mat. Good suggestion though maybe hitting it with a mild cleanser.

Second time through this workout - still does a good job keeping the heart rate up. I am finding, however, that I don't care for the fast-paced deadlifts into racked squats. After a few of them my form starts to suffer on the deadlifts and I start feeling it in the wrong way in my back. Will...

Yes, I ordered the mat the day she made the announcement. I'm actually a bit on the fence with it - something about its finish makes my hands sweaty versus other yoga mats that I have. I'm enjoying it for my lower body days, though - my carpet doesn't offer the best traction, and I work out...

New Gear: Boxing gloves, 6' round yoga mat Back-up Gear: lifting gloves New DVDs: STS Mesos 1-3, Perfect Pump, Total Body Barbell, Gym-Style Back, Shoulders & Biceps, Gym-Style Chest & Triceps, Fit Tower series, Fit Split series. Not sure if I'm actually going to receive Fit Tower and Fit...

Yeah, this one has some kicking in it, but it's not at the intensity of say, Kick Max or Kick, Punch & Crunch. Most of it stays grounded, for instance. Forgot to mention I used boxing gloves for the first time with this workout, too - got a pair from the clearance sale. Not sure how much I'm...

Got the Exer Tower yesterday. Was super easy to set up and it arrived just before I was about to do the LMRE Balance Fusion workout, so the timing was great. Got to use it a bit with that workout. Happy with how simple it was to set up. Glad it breaks down, too, although even broken down it...

So an update from my message to CS about the User's Guide not being included. They told me that I was supposed to order them as a "bundle". Well, there wasn't a "bundle" option on the site when I ordered all three Mesocycles. I sat on their email for a while, weighing if I wanted to put any...

I ordered the day they announced the sale and got my stuff about a week later. I did just place another order last week. I’m assuming this go-round will take longer because of the volume of back-orders they have. Speaking as someone who works for a business that does DTC business, backlogs...

Coming back to this workout a second time. This time I had my Exer Tower (just arrived before my workout!), so was able to utilize it a little where needed. I think after having done this again, I feel like the original LMR's lower body balance challenge is actually a bit tougher than this one...

I've been watching this story over the last year or so and it's so inspiring. Makes me glad I started with weights back in my late 20s. Although at that time I wasn't doing much in the way of progressive loading, and certainly not lifting as heavy as I do now, but I at least had the foundations...

Finally visited this workout for the second time since it came up in my LMRE 30-day rotation. This was a nice change from the more metabolic/endurance-based workouts in the main series. Was nice to remind my muscles they can go slow and heavy. I liked this workout better after a second time...

Agree - also, I've not really tried it, but I doubt downloads have the special audio options. Grr, so bummed DVDs going away. I know OnDemand "solves" all of those, but I'm still not keen on subbing to streaming and dealing with random lag or drops right in the middle of my workouts.

Oh you're such an enabler. (Okay, you didn't know I was trying to not spend more money, to be fair, lol). I detest barre, so probably won't go for the LIS workout - but I did go ahead and buy all the Fit Tower series - I'd never looked at them before since, of course, I was thinking I'd never...

Haha - yes, I was thinking that, too. I was "cheating" and using my risers (three on each side) to set myself up to do the heavier hip thrusts (I do them on my stability ball, so no need to worry about not having the risers under my step). The exer tower will definitely be useful there.

Discovered there's really no way around it - I really need something like the FitTower in order to do barbell bench presses. Tried with no success to heft a barbell from the floor across my torso to do some 1RM testing of an incline bench press yesterday. Just was not going to happen unless I...

I found this alternative on Dick's Sporting Goods - seems almost like the exact same product, just branded differently. I was't having any luck finding Cathe's FitTower online, which I've come to understand I'm really going to need for STS (if I want to incorporate barbell presses, especially)...

Finally tried this workout today. When comparing to her other kickbox workouts, this is definitely her easiest, and I did all the high impact moves when they came up. Like most of the other cardio workouts in this series, she keeps the high-impact moves very brief, so I feel like this workout is...

I'm seeing partially why I've held off on the original STS for so long - it's all the preparation work necessary for this series. The 1RM tests are fundamental, but holy crap, it's a slog. I'm making it a point to only do one body part max per day of 1RM testing with good rest before I move on...

Finished this workout for the first time today. Definitely a circuit-style endurance workout with PHA layering (upper, lower, cardio). It's a good quickie workout - Cathe knows how to get your heart rate up when she's only got 30 minutes to do it. The cardio "blasts" are pretty brief. Just kind...

I'm getting kinda nervous with these 1RM tests... lol. I'm finding I'm stronger than I think, which means that it appears for a lot of my workouts in the past, I've typically been working in my 60-70% range - and I thought THAT was challenging. From doing these tests alone, I can already see...
