I was wondering if anyone knows what the order is for doing the shock cardio. I saw in one of the posts that Cathe said we should do them in a certain order because of different intensity levels. And I thought I read that somewhere else as well, but of course, now I can't find it! I also...

all the recipe says is to cook for an hour - at what heat? Do I bring to a boil and then simmer, boil for an hour (doubt that, but thought I'd throw it in there), or medium heat the whole time???? BTW, trying some recipes in Tosca's new cookbook, great cookbook, looks like some wonderful...

If I want my barbell to be 17 lbs, is it 17 lbs on each end, or 17 lbs split up evenly between both ends?:o Thanks!! Kirsten

Hi, This past Saturday, I walked a 1/2 marathon (made it 8.5 miles). The blisters I got on my pinky toes are the worst I have ever had. I cannot workout right now because when I wear shoes I can barely walk, and my legs are so sore that using them for walking slowly is about all I can...

Hi, I want both the STS ticker and the weight loss ticker to show up in my posts. I click to do that, and then update, at which point it shows as "yes." When I post in the forum, they don't show up. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks! Kirsten

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to delete everything on the calendar in one or two clicks, instead of having to delete each individual workout, one at a time. It is quite time consuming if you make a mistake and want to start over. TIA! Kirsten

Hi Cathe, I just wanted to tell you how much I am loving STS - despite the soreness :p I just finished week 1 of meso 1. You are so fantastic and inspiring and REAL - I remember doing workouts that Cosmopolitan Mag used to put out. "Exercisers" that looked like kewpie dolls with no muscle...

God I love this workout!!!!! This is by far the best investment I have ever made in myself! The workouts are hard as hell, but I'm doing good, I am so proud of myself. yay STS! BTW, a file folder is perfect for the paper plate exercises on carpet - if you don't have a paper plate. Kirsten

Hi, I just finished all my 1RM's and wanted to print out a workout card, but when I click on STS, it says "one moment please" and then nothing but white space in the middle of the screen. thanks! Kirsten

Okay, I've been doing my 1RM reps, have finally completed 12 discs - if doing this is close to killing me I am going to be dragging when I do the actual rotation!!!! But I love it!!!! :D Also, whoever was complaining about the fact that exercises repeat themselves, all I can say is thank...

Hi, Is there a way to find out if someone really is certified by who they say they are? He has the icons for IDEA and ISSA, but doesn't list any specific certifications - so I am a bit skeptical. He is a former pro-football player who runs bootcamps - for some reason that seems to be the...

I keep finding all these great quotes, and wanted to share :D Enjoy your Sunday! "Faith is taking the first step...even when you don't see the whole staircase." Martin Luther King "The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them...

I am trying Tosca Reno's recipe, but she isn't very clear. Am I supposed to either mix the yeast in warm water, or mix the yeast with dry ingredients and then pour in warm water and oil??? It says that I need to combine the ingredients (water, honey, canola oil, sea salt, ascorbic acid...

I swear, I can't keep up with everything there is to know with computers! I'm feeling more and more computer "dumb" as the years go on - :p

I am getting ready to order STS (yeah!, finally!) so I entered an exercise in the 1RM list, and then went to see what it looked like on the workout card. I entered in 10lbs for 12 reps and it said my 1RM is 16, average 15lbs. On the workout card it lists 16 then in the column under % of...

In October - one's a cookbook, the other is a companion guide. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Eat-Clean-Diet-Companion/Tosca-Reno/e/9781552100721/?itm=25 http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Tosca-Renos-Eat-Clean-Cookbook/Tosca-Reno/e/9781552100684/?itm=8 Are there any other...

I have been eating clean for about 3 months, on average, 90-95% of the time. However, whenever I deviate the 5-10% of time, I either get sick to my stomach or start feeling really weird or both. My tolerance for chemicals and unhealthy ingredients has dwindled to nothing - well, at least I'll...

Hi SNM, I was wondering if it would be possible to create something that would allow us to plug in current dvd's and have the workout manager create a rotation based on those dvd's, and suggest other dvd's to add to ones collection for a more well-rounded rotation. Thanks for all you do! Kirsten

I need some advice on my current rotation that I am starting for the month of July. I still need to lose 93 lbs - and have lost 31.6 lbs to date with clean-eating and Cathe's workouts. :D This is what I have been thinking of doing, but wanted to make sure that it is in line with my goals of...

I am impatiently waiting for my new Mac to arrive and wondered if anyone has had any problems using this website on a Mac. It will have bootcamp, so I can also switch to Windows, but I'd prefer not to. TIA! Kirsten
