Did disc 3 legs today. :) Carolyn - glad your daughter is better. As a runner, I didn't like running in high winds but I'd take that any day over hot and humid. Now I can't run anymore because of bad knees but I make up for it with biking and lots of hiking. Sometimes I'll do a...

Gratefuldog (Carolyn, right?) Is he a Jack Russell? We had one and he was a cutie. Miss him a lot. You're going to have a lot of fun with him. Jean - when I was reading reviews of the Turbo Tower on Amazon, I read a few where the folks were upset because they didn't get a poster included in...

Today was meso 1, disc 2. :) Colleen - TB looks hard to fit into my schedule too, so I'd be most likely to use it during an "off" week or else on my day off. When I ride my stationary bike and when I lift weights, I take my BodyMedia off so that later I can fill in the "off body" times...

What an inspiration. :) I just started STS and look forward to the improvements that will come over the next 6 months.

Today I did disc 1 (m1, w1) & sts yoga abs & extended stretch. The Turbo Tower gives me a much better way to do push ups since I can't do them straight legged (yet) ;) but doing them on my knees is uncomfortable due to various past knee injuries. Now I can do them using the Turbo Tower and as...

We just brought home my Turbo Tower and will be putting it up tonight. So tomorrow I'm going to "officially" start my 6 months of STS (even though I did week one twice already...that was practice). :p Jean, yes my Body Media Fit is like the Body Bug except that you sleep with it too and it...

I'm feeling better allergy-wise. I've had all types of allergies all my life. Meds do a good job of helping me with my plant/animal allergies usually. But I am also allergic to things that touch my skin. I have a Body Media Fit, which is made to wear all the time (they say to keep it off for an...

I was AWOL from the forum for a couple of days because I was dealing with horrible allergies. I didn't miss any workouts but felt crummy. Usually my prescription meds work well but the last two days, my allergies won out. I'm feeling better now. cokonkel - glad using more than one band...

Hi Eva, I just started STS a couple of weeks ago. And in fact, started over this week already, since I decided to change from the 3 month cycle to the 6 month cycle. I feel like I need to have more time to get the hang of each new exercise, plus I'm getting the turbo tower next week and would...

Today's treadmill day. :) Since my husband and I live in far west TX, the tornadoes were nowhere near us but both of us grew up in Fort Worth so we have a lot of family there. Thankfully, no one was in the direct path of the tornadoes. Jean - yes, it's nice to know we have similar ages...

I did Disc 1 again and it's nice that I'm allowing myself to get a little more familiar with STS before just plunging ahead. Today I could tell that on two exercises, I need to up my barbells by a pound or two. cokonkel - can't remember if it was you or someone else asking why I don't try...

Normally I do strength training on MWF but this week it'll be TTS. Because of that I practiced my leg workout and now I'm sore. (NOT so DOMS) :D Betty - I bet I'll like the timing of Meso 2 a lot. I'll probably want to do housework between sets on Meso 3. And you have me oh so looking forward...

I was planning to do the 3 month rotation this time but decided today that I'm changing my schedule to the 6 month rotation. After doing week 1 meso 1, I want to go back and do that week over. And I know I'll benefit from doing that every week. Glad it's already been thought up before and I can...

Completed meso 1 week 1 legs. Didn't care for the paper plate so my husband stopped by Walmart on the way home from work and bought me some glide discs. Won't have to use the paper plate anymore. I had some very shaky legs during the workout. :eek: Until I can get a turbo tower, I'm going to...

Talking about being sore Jean, Mon and Wed, I did the two SST upper bodies, abs both days and extended stretch. I have the greatest amount of soreness in my upper ab region. Tomorrow I get to work on getting sore legs!!!! :p Using the firmest tube I have, was much too easy. Not that I can do...

Jean - I now have completed Disc 2, Meso 1. Friday I do my first STS leg workout. Wonder if I'll still like doing legs as much, after I do that disc. :p What do most of you use for pull up/chin ups? How many of you own a Turbo Tower (or something like that)? mar

Jean - Plyo legs does sound funny now that I think about it. :p My husband usually runs about 10 miles a day and he does abs and pullup/pushup regularly. But he has a chronic hay bale lifting injury that hampers upper body work. If we didn't have to deal with hay all the time, I guess it'd...

When doing the pushups from the knees, do you do them all from the ground? I don't see how you could do them from the bench or the ball but I didn't try. I wanted to try to do them all so I just kept doing them with my knees on the ground. We actually own a real Power Tower! Had it for about...

Thanks Jean, I got the actual weight numbers changed for yesterday. It seemed some of the numbers weren't sticking but now they are. Plus my calories burned were showing for the stretch and ab workout but not the strength workout but now I have that working right. I don't know how much my...

When I have been working out regularly, abs are something I have no trouble doing faithfully. Actually, when I work out regularly, I'm pretty good at working all parts on a regular basis. Good thing I'm getting back to strength training...I had stopped all of it for a while (that's the all or...
