    Afterburn: Two Thumbs Up!

    After Burn Express Single Intervals (incomplete?) Just completed the Express Single workout, what great fun & it went by so quick. However, I felt a little lopsided & unbalanced since there was only one round of lunge kicks & no back exercises.

    THOSE SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE PLEASE ANSWER

    I'll be turning 49 in February Recently, my waist was a terrible thing to mind too. Working out 4-5 days a week seemed so much like a chore just to maintain the weight. I dreaded having to go up one size. That meant getting rid of most of the clothes in my closet which I absolutely refuse to...

    Loving the neti-pot

    Beyond the neti pot I was using the neti pot but recently it hasn't been as effective for my hay fever/post nasal drip problems. So after doing a little online research some of the recommendations I found helpful were: pulsatile nasal irrigation, restricting dairy from my diet, and gargling...

    What did each Meso do for you? A two part question.

    Meso 1 & 2 Meso 1 & 2 are both my favorites because I was getting serious definition & my clothes were definitely looser. My husband noticed it during the first week of Meso 1 and I wasn't doing any cardio until Meso 2 & 3. With Meso 3 (my least favorite) I lost some definition, gained...

    anyone care to share results?

    My clothes are fitting looser on me since I started STS. I really didn't think I would see any results until the 3rd week, but my husband has noticed since week one. It seems like every day he's pointing to some part of my body and saying, "wow, look at those muscles on your legs!" or...

    Powerblocks vs Selectech dumbells

    I bought these instead... Weider PowerSwitch 100 lb. weight set http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00615801000P from Sears & paid only $289 and that included the stand (found a $5 online Sears coupon & went through Ebates to make my purchase & got an additional $5.99 rebate)...

    Our homeless guy rides a 10-speed to the liquor store!

    RE: Our homeless guy rides a 10-speed to the liquor sto... From experience, this is what we've done in the past, (instead of giving them money) offer to take them to the grocery store to buy food for them. If they agree then they're truly in need. If they decline, then they probably will use...

    Advice on rice cookers

    I prefer to use a stainless steel pressure cooker. It cooks brown rice in 15 minutes at high pressure and after letting it sit for 10 minutes it's ready to eat! Fay

    Curved Barbell vs, straight

    I just bought a curved barbell set at this site for a great bargain! Plus the dumbbell handles will come in handy for the heavier weight work in STS. http://www.outlettrail.com/apex-standard-curl-bar-dumbbell-handle-combo.html Fay

    What kind of vitamins do you use?

    I take Carlson's mini-multi vitamins & minerals. The tablets are fairly small (5/8" long) and easy to swallow for me. Fay

    BLOOPERS, OUTTAKES - WHERE ARE THEY??

    Also, on 4DS the first round of calf exercises Cathe says to 'turn your toes out', for the 2nd set of exercises she inadvertently says 'turn your toes out' (she really meant to say 'turn your heels out') but in the video she changes her feet with toes turned in & heels pointed out. Fay

    BLOOPERS, OUTTAKES - WHERE ARE THEY??

    Yeah, I do the full 12 reps. It bugs me when reps are uneven. Fay

    Question - the multi press rack on Cathe's set for STS

    To SNM: The blog dated 3/21, where Deazie & Robert are pictured doing an incline bench press, could you please tell me if the Troy lite barbell fits on the rack that Robert is using? If so, do the weights sit inside or outside of the vertical bars? Any info you could give would be very...

    Made me laugh

    Guys have more upper body strength (they can do more pull ups/push ups, etc.) but women have more lower body strength in their legs. Also, I don't think Stuart had a chance to prepare for this exercise as the women did in Butts & Guts. Fay

    What do they do with all those outfits

    Actually, one pair of shoes that Cathe wore on 4DS was given away as a prize drawing to one of the attendees of Cathe's Road Trip in August 2007. She was at my table & delighted to win it. I believe it was a size 5 (too small for the winner to wear). Fay

    some other bench/rack options!

    I saw this too at sears.com and was seriously considering buying it. For now, I'll hold off on my decision until Cathe reveals her patented 'design'. If I go with the bench/rack from sears I'll need to sell my Nordic Track to make room for it. Also, this is not the first time it's been...

    What about Make Your Own Squat Rack??

    RE: How about this for a squat rack? Checkout this less expensive alternative-- http://www.pfcfitnessequipment.com/view_item.aspx?pid=1206 It's also available at Amazon.com for free shipping Fay p.s. It looks very similar to the one on Cathe's rehearsal set (see the pictures of...
