No I don't eat anything, I have acid reflux, I would be barfing within 10 mns whether its cardio or weights. I have no problems having plenty of energy (even doing STS) I try make sure I have a good quality breakfast afterwards though

yeah this is a pet peeve of mine on a lot of fitness websites, they preach about not eating processed foods and in the same sentence promote protien powders! I think common sense works best. And yes I like some of Kashi products.

I"m enjoying STS (started meso 3 this week) but I think I will take a break from it for a month or so and do some total body workouts to really change things up. Summer is coming on and like most people my workout time will be more limited. Yard work, farm, RIDING/CAMPING! I think STS...

Just finished this WO...it didn't feel all the bad while doing it..right now though I'm really starting to stiffen up and I can feel some DOMS settling in already! Now I can see why the long rest periods are necessary! I"m off for a hot shower and some Advil. I hope I can move tomorrow!!!!!

Great post Stacy! I"ve been struggling with my weight for the last few yrs. Was always thin until my 40's. Not blaming age, but life style changes. I need to lose at least 40 lbs but right now it just seems impossible! I am very commited to training, but I stink at the diet thing. I over...

DIET is critical for losing weight no matter what workouts you're doing. Its sometimes common to lose a few pounds just by changing workouts up a bit, but to lose significant weight diet is key.

My back is so much better I decided to get back in the groove. I did CST last night, no problems except Cathes pace on chest work seems a bit fast to me. I know we're supposed to go at our own pace but its hard after YEARS of following Cathe lol! I have to really focus mentally on blocking...

I'm 48, been married 23 yrs, no kids and no regrets! My mother is very supportive of my choice, M-I-L mentioned grandchildren only a couple of times (she's very nosey and I let her know right up front I would not tolerate interference in our personal lives) My biggest gripe is women who assume...

I mentioned in another post how my lower back was irritated in meso 2 legs, well disc 18 Back & Biceps pushed me over the edge. Doing barbell rows I felt my lower back pull...dang it. I should have listend to the signals my body was sending, I was very tired, fighting a cold and simply did not...

You're right...and I am as of today. Last night I was too bummed to think in a postive way lol

I"m having the same problem, so I decided to do short (30 mn) cardio sessions and 1 short interval. I also did plyo legs, plyos only with 30-40 second rest periods between each plyo session. 3 (maybe 4) short cardio sessions are all I"m going to try to fit in right now. I'm keeping my focus...

Thanks for the kind words ladies...I was really tired with no energy before I even started the workout. I"m fighting a cold and sinus infection. My lower back feels OK this morning....I"ll be "babying" it for awhile.

I'm so bummed! By the 3rd round of tri-sets I had to quit, my lower back was killing me! I finished rounds 1 &2 and the 3rd tri-set set in round 2 my lower back was getting a bit tight...I took a longer rest before starting round 3 of trisets, but during the first set my back was very...

Good for you! You made a decision to take care of YOU, no one elses opinion matters! Isn't Cathe great!

Good job! You look great!

I don't understand people like that, but sometimes I find it hard not to laugh in their face when they act so stupid! If only they could hear themselves!

I'm guessing about 15-20 mns....don't know for sure. I wasn't too concerned about the time at this point, just wanted to see if I could do it. Most of it will depend on how long of rest you need between each plyo. True HIIT has very little rest between each "set" but I went by how I felt and...

I"m going heavy, I have a squat rack. STS is the only leg training DVD I have for going heavy on legs. When I use Gym Style legs I use the squat rack and go at a slower speed than Cathe so I can go heavier.

I wanted short intense cardio last night so I decided to try a STS plyo legs, plyos only...WOW it kicked my butt big time. I started with the warm up, but did my own thing of more dynamic moves to really get my legs warmed up good. I skipped to the plyo section, rested 30-40 seconds after...

Count me as another female that does NOT care what men of any age think of my looks. I seriously don't get why some women get hung up on that. I"m 48, been married for a wonderful guy for 23 yrs who loves me for ME (extra padding and all) but even before I was married I didn't give a dam what...
