You want the strongest one (heavy resistance I think).

Today will be nothing... sick, but hoping this recovery time will aid in being ready to start back up on Monday!

I've gained about 3.5 lbs since starting STS too and some of it is fat but definitely some of it is muscle. I got on my body fat scale (Tanita) yesterday for the first time in a long time and my body fat % had dropped 1%. I wouldn't freak out too bad... Plus if you are sore you'll be retaining...

dry roasted edamame (I get mine at Costco) - very filling, you can portion it out to be about 100 calories. 4 multigrain saltines with 1 tbsp peanut butter light string cheese with multigrain cracker (I like Milton) oatmeal made with water banana carrots (snack pack) with a tbsp or two of...

If you have any insights on sources for clothing for shorter women please post! My daughter is 4'9" (86 lbs) and the doctors say she is done growing. It is going to be a life long issue... kids' clothing no longer fits as she has quite the curvy figure but 00s seem to be the only size that...

Uhoh... getting sick.... better be better by Monday! ;)

I needed to catch up on sleep... so no workout today. It is probably what I needed most!

I went with IMAX3 (step only since I was so tired!) and then the Yoga based abs from STS Ab Circuits. I need to focus on more sleep... and maybe a rest day tomorrow.

I don't have it but the rack looks great (and at a great price)! But then again I've never used one and might be missing something someone with experience would catch. ;)

Rhythmic Step here. (Man, I need to regain some of my stamina!)

Yesterday was the Double Cardio premix of 4 Day Split and today was Rhythmic Step!

Ah, I love Ellie Kreiger's recipes! :) You can get most of the ones in her cookbook (actually probably all of them) online at foodnetwork.com. I have the cookbook and then realized that later. Also, her show "Healthy Appetite" contains all of the same recipes (although the new episodes seem to...

I'm so sorry. I would have felt the same way. ((hugs)) :(

Um can I say DOMS? I have never felt the kind of DOMS in my whole back and arms as I have after this one by the next day! WOW... :eek:

Hmm... I bet you could go either way although if I were a betting woman (and I'm not LOL), I'd bet you went too light. I was continually shocked at how hard each set was with the weights suggested. I would have NEVER have gone that heavy for that kind of work. ;) So... Meso 2 is pretty different...

The fat will come off primarily from your better eating (it is said that 80% of weight loss comes from diet.) Going heavy on the glute/leg work will make for strong muscles. Strong muscles = firm butt and legs. ;) I'd go heavy.

Wowsa! Can't wait to see how jelloey my arms are once I hit the shower! :eek: Terrific workout... I am not nearly as drained as I was a the end of Meso 1. Can't wait to see what Meso 3 brings! :D

in interval training/circuits, what ranges are we trying to hit? When we go for the break between circuits, how do we know that our heart rates are low enough? I find myself getting very winded and not quite at full power when I start a new circuit in most workouts and wondering if that is the...

I was wondering if you could go over form on some of the stretches you have us do. I know that on some of them I'm not obtaining the right angle, or putting pressure the right way to get the stretch to the fullest but can't quite seem to get it. For instance, with pigeon pose, are we supposed to...

Hmmm. I have a sporting goods store going out of business nearby... I think I'm going to have to look for sinkers! My sports store thought I might be able to use scuba weights to get to a 2 lb per glove weight, but trust me, those babies are expensive! And wouldn't fit very well in there. ;)
