Hi Dela! Thanks for the reponse! I've basically done as you suggested, and lowered the weight where needed, still pushing hard to the end of the high end rep sets. From these weights I'll increase weekly....I'm only in week two and already feeling better from the endurance perspective too...

UPDATE: Never mind! I found my answer on the Ask Cathe Forum...looks like I'm not alone in this!!! ------------------------ Hi all - I started STS this week...originally I thought I would have to do just two DVDs a week given my schedule, but I decided it was worth rolling out of bed...

Hey there - use yoga blocks! I'm short of limb, and that's how I do it (and how I teach it when I'm instructing yoga classes). Hope that helps! Jennifer

Hi ellesan - congratulations on making such a profound change in your health and lifestyle...I love that you're rockin' the muscles!!! A couple of posts from the forum mention your blog, but I'm not sure how to get there -can you give me a link? Also, I'd love to know what you nutrition has...

Hi Cathe - I moved this question from the STS forum as I hadn't gotten any replies from anyone on this issue. The storm is currently raging, so I'd love some advice!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Cathe (and STS-ers), I was hoping...

Hi Cathe (and STS-ers), I was hoping for some advice. We've had a pretty easy winter here so far, but a few times I have extensive shovelling sessions mess up my weight lifting planning. I start STS this week on Thursday, and of course we now have forecast of a big storm tomorrow. This...

So I slogged through Hardcore Extreme Interval Circuit last Thursday (was feeling a bit under the weather), and was bemoaning my lack of endurance to my husband. Particularly as I start STS this coming week! Then on Friday morning the snow plow had left a meter hight plow pile at the end of...

Hi Gayle, I agree with Aquajock - yoga can be very strenuous. I actually teach several classes a week, including a power yoga/yoga bootcamp and even though I'm not doing the full class, as I'm moving about watching students and helping with hands on adjustment, I still structure the rest of...

Arrived on The Rock Yup - it arrived in Newfoundland today (I shipped it via USPS - no extra charges, no customs fees). Got a call from my hubby today telling me there was a box waiting for me at home!!! Yippee!!! Now I just hope I don't get the flu he's currently nursing so I can start on...

Pictures are just fractions of seconds in time - we (and people around us) don't actually see like that - we see a body's shape, movement, and all that jazz. Clothes hanging from a certain angle might seem bulky in a picture, but the people around you see that same outfit flow around you, as...

Being Zen while waiting for STS Nothing yet in in Newfoundland...I chose the USPS shipping method to avoid those ridiculous UPS shipping/brokerage fees, so I don't expect to receive my STS for a couple of weeks. I'm patient, though...really :-P I'm teaching a Yoga "Boot Camp" course right...

Hi SNM, I read the post you had about shipping notices, and see that they are issued by UPS. Will there be shipping emails for those of us who aren't using UPS? I'm in Canada, so it will be shipping (USPS Priority International I believe). I know it'll take a bit longer to get here, but...

Never mind pictures... My plan isn't to bother with pictures....my big 'reveal' is to walk into my gym (where I also teach yoga), and casually stroll up to the chin up bar and crank out a massive set!! Preferably infront of all the personal trainers ;) I've got a bit of a disordered...

Hey Jennifer, I have done LowMax a couple of times...I confess I'm not a cardio junkie at all, so 30-40 minutes is usually my max for 'workouts'...I love lifting, and put me on a bike or hiking or something along those lines and I can go for hours, but even with Cathe I have a threshold when...

Hi all, I've been working with 4DS for a while now, but staggering cardio and weights, and quite honestly, I avoided the step workouts entirely...I love the Boot Camp and Kickbox, so have mainly been sticking to them. But tonight I threw caution to the wind and did the full HIS for the...

Well said I'm with you lhicks :)

Thanks! Thanks Vee! I'll give that a try, maybe do a few practice runs with the Gym Style series. I also have a Nano, but didn't realize you could watch video on it (obviously I hardly use it)....

Hi there, A quick question for SNM and anyone else who wants to weigh in...I don't have a squat rack, but love love LOVE working heavy weights, so was thinking I'll try to do as many of the STS leg workouts at the gym as I can. I have enough poundage at home to take care of my upper body...

Delayed gratification I agree with all posters who are urging us to be patient. I just finished Push Pull tonight, and was thankful for the short and efficient workout from Cathe and company - her work is such high quality, it is definitely worth the wait. And yes, SNM was very clear...

Hi again, Never mind - I wasn't entering the number of reps, just leaving it at 1! That's why my one rep max was too low. Silly me! Cheers!
