    STS CHECK IN DISC 19

    Just wanted to say I can't wait to read this. Although I didn't repeat Meso 1, I will be repeating each week in Meso 2 & 3 so now I won't be with the group. Have fun everyone!

    STS CHECK IN DISC 14

    I loved the leg workout. I really, really, really loved it. I've only competed two discs in this Mesocycle, but I already know this is going to be my favorite. ;)

    Selling the workouts individually

    Ditto! I won't buy anything with step included in it. ;)

    OMG tri set legs

    Surprisingly, and I say surprisingly with total bafflement and shock, the tri-sets didn't bother me at all. I actually prefer tri-sets. I will do tri-sets any day of the week. However, I cringe at the remembrance of Meso 1 legs. I love reading about how different we all are. :)

    STS CHECK IN DISC #13

    Hello, fellow STS'ers! I just finished disc 13 about a 1/2 hour ago and included the extra stretch. I have been waiting for this type of workout! I don't care for muscle endurance nor does muscle endurance really do anything for me (seriously)--so let me say when I popped this DVD in I...

    STS RECOVERY CHECK IN DAY #3

    All I did was a stretch routine today. My body feels exhausted. I ran 4 miles on Monday and since I've had a rather annoying strain pain in my left shin--so cardio based work is out as I don't want to make it worse. A recovery week was definitely needed and my body is responding well. :)

    2 People doing STS at the same time

    My fiance is doing STS with me. We're doing the 3.5 rotation and we just finished Meso 1. We do have two of everything as we don't use the same weights. He can lift much, much heavier than I can. We do have duplicates of 8, 10, 12, and 15 dumbbells, however. We also have two barbells, two...

    Is anyone else sick of this Rihanna story?

    Then watch HLN. Actually, CNN's sister-channel HLN does all the time. Especially Jane Valez Mitchell on Issues 7 p.m. Eastern Time and Nancy Grace.

    STS CHECK IN DISC 12

    I've been extremely busy with work and school (last half year of my DVM and it's stressful and rough) so I haven;t been able to stay up on these posts, but I just want everyone to know I like reading what you have to say whether I post about my experience or not. Good job to everyone that...

    STS check in Disc 10

    Disc 10 was a challenge for me for some reason. I could do my 70% of weights, but my body felt less strong than normal. The first week of workouts was the easiest for my body to get through and I'm surprised by how each week the workouts seem to get harder for my body to complete--especially...

    Favorite Ab Circuit

    I love the medicine ball routine and the bonus medicine ball partner abs. The first time the fiance and I tried it he wasn't the best partner (when you have to toss the ball to your partner and twist as you're sitting he threw it right past me), but now that he's gotten the hang of it we both...

    STS CHECK IN ....DISC 6

    Short and sweet review: DOMS are ruling my life today. Great workout!

    Moving slow in his old age . . .

    Ditto this post. I went through 4 years of schooling to become a Veterinary Technician and am currently half a year away from become a DVM and 1. It's against the law for VT's to diagnosis or to tell someone what to do with their pet as a course of action and 2. History is the most important...

    Facial Moisturizers w/self tan (or whatever the wording is!)

    I agree with Laura on this. I'm very fair skinned (and also have dry skin during the fall and winter) and neutrogena works wonders. I love the build-a-tan line. I've tried many self-tan products, both drugstore and on the expensive side and I still choose Neutrogena.

    What's your favorite running shoe?

    I love Nike Shox. I have arch problems and these really support my arches. On top of that, being a runner, I never have ankle problems whereas I have with other types of sneakers after a run. Also, the heel is really supportive. Whenever my foot hits the ground it feels like a soft mat...

    How did you hear about STS?

    When she was first talking about it here on the website and she was also talking about a boxing series, which I'm still curious about. :)

    Moving slow in his old age . . .

    I'm sorry for your loss, 2 years ago or not. Animals do take many medications that humans can take, but in much lower dosages--hence why you can't give our aspirin to them and so forth. 16 years-old is a very long life! She must've been treated really well and loved. :) Always hungry...

    Moving slow in his old age . . .

    Baby aspirin or any human aspirin should not be given to your pets. Human medicines should never be given to your pets--period. Just want to make that clear as this is very bad advice. I won't normally comment on what someone should do as I always suggest seeing your own vet, but this can...

    Moving slow in his old age . . .

    My Vet recommends supplements from Pet Smart and Pet Co only. He told me to stay away from any brands from Walmart and the such. I have a 10 year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback and the symptoms your dog has is what made me take mine to the vets two years ago. He was diagnosed with arthritis after...
