    Lean muscle vs bulky

    This is what I was worried about when I ordered STS, but in the FAQ it said it won't make you bulky. I have found that when I stopped using weights with my lower body, I lost weight and leaned out. Since STS is heavy lifting so you think it will be bad for those of us who don't want to bulk the...

    freestyle training vs. heavy weights

    Thank you so much for your input! Do you think that changing up the freestyle for lower body with heavy weights/lower rep for lower body might work as well? I'm just wondering what to do next so I don't plateau...

    freestyle training vs. heavy weights

    Hello all, I have been researching freestyle training for women and think that it will help me since I tend to store weight in my lower half and build muscle easily there as well. However, with STS (which I preordered) saying that heavy weights are the way to go, I am confused. I find some...

    lower body weight with STS

    Hi! I tend to build muscle easily in my lower body so I usually use light weight or no weight at all for my lower body exercises. I have gotten great results with this method becuase my legs have become really slender, yet still toned. This has been the reason that I'm on the fence with...

    A good belly lotion?

    Hello! I am 29 weeks and have had good luck so far with Beautiful Belly Balm I got from Whole Foods. You can also find it on the internet. It is made by Wiseways. I also mix the balm with Emu oil and slather it on. If you aren't familiar with Emu oil, you really should try it. It's great for all...

    Ok, this whole food thing is getting really annoying...

    Thank goodness I'm not the only one! I'm about 7 weeks, and up until 2 weeks ago I worked out for an hour everyday and ate very healthfully. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I'm too tired to work out and the thought of vegetables makes me sick. Yesterday I was trying to eat a cucumber slice...

    RE: Squeeze DVD w/ Tracey Effinger - Pilates/Yoga/Balle... I was reading this thread and thinking of buying this DVD! I am now doing Cathe's May rotaion, so how could I incorporate Squeeze without neglecting my original rotation? Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!
