Is there anywhere that shows the calories burned for each of the STS Cardio workouts? Don't see them yet on the workout manager. Thank you, Diane

I tried asking this over at VF and not getting much response so thought I'd try here. I just started working out with kettlebells but am having trouble trying to work them into my regular rotation. I try to have 3 heavy weight days and 2-3 cardio days a week. When is the best time to work the...

I just posted on the STS forum asking for a modifing exerciser or at least instruction on modifications we can do to lessen the pain in the knees from squats and lunges. If you also have this problem and would also like to see help in the new STS dvd's could I please ask that you also post your...

I had to take off 1 1/2 weeks of workouts due to a cold and at the end of the time-off I noticed that the pain I have most of the time in my knees was gone. But, by the end of Slow & Heavy Legs I could feel the pain returning. Now 2 days later, I definitely know that those squats and lunges are...

While doing one arm dumbell rows in 4Day Split Chest & Back, I notice it is more comfortable to place my non-working forearm on my leg just above the knee instead of using my hand as Cathe does. As I have lower back issues, I am wondering if this changes the exercise any? Diane

I just did and am a bit suprised. Ok, maybe not since I bought those cheap hex dumbells from Wallyworld. But still. I used my Escali postage type scale I use to weigh food portions. Here is what I found for anyone curious: 5 lb = 5 lb 3 oz & 5 lb 2.5 oz 8 lb = 8 lb 2 oz & 8 lb .5...

How 'bout starting a thread of your best cooking tips for all of our New Years clean and/or quick cooking we plan on doing. I will start with what I am doing today. Yesterday at Safeway I bought 4 young chickens that were on sale for .69cents/lb at about 3.25lbs each. Today I will boil them...

According to May07 issue of Health magazine- 51% of children's foods that refer to fruit (with words or images) on the package actually don't contain fruit. Huh Diane

Eating Tips for the Holidays (from my non-exercising mother) 1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls. 2. Drink as much...

From another message board: Costco.com is selling a one year 24 Hour Fitness All Sport Club membership for only $199 (only $16.58 per month!) from 11/21-12/10 for new members. This is a non-renewable membership, but is great for someone who wants to start working out. If you know that you...

I workout in the living room and am having a problem with were to store my step. Actually, the balance ball is a bit of a problem too. So, where to you store your step and all the other 'stuff' that goes along with your workout? Diane

Why is it that the part of my body that needs the most work, as in thighs and butt, requires the exercises that I like the least, as in squats and lunges? Diane

My DH believes that by taking aspirin/pain reliever he is 'masking' the pain. An injury or DOMS would be too easily aggravated or made worse if you don't feel the original pain to let you know you have a problem. Am I making sense here? Do you take aspirin/pain relievers? I am ok with it if I...

I have an ab wheel I got at Goodwill years ago. You know, one of those wheels with handles on each side that you get on your knees and roll out on the floor while holding onto. Is this thing safe? Effective? Diane

I noticed yesterday while doing GS Back Shoulder and Biceps that Cathe uses a 12lb dumbbell and I curious if anyone else out there uses this weight? It seems like it would be a better transition from 10 to 15 but wondering if necessary. Have also heard somewhere that there is like a 1 or 2...

I have been using a section of 5" high wood beam for a step and have decided to ask Santa for a real step. I know this looks like any easy decision for some, but I am a bit anal and want to get this right. I am comparing the steps at Walmart...
