I was shocked when I got home last night and my DVDs had arrived. I was so happy!! I did High Reps this morning, loved it. Also did the low impact HIIT section from Intensity. I am off work tomorrow through the end of the week so will have more time to try out all of the new workouts.

I would like to see recommendations to integrate the STS cardio with the STS strength series ASAP also...because I'm wanting to start next Monday! It does seem logical that the intensity of the cardio would change with each phase. I've only tried the Boxing workout so far though...which didn't...

I think there is a 'trip' feature where you can set it when you start a specific workout and turn it off when you're done so that you know the specific calories you've burned....have you tried that Cynthia? guess I'm going to have to pull my book out again to see how to do it...

That is interesting Cynthia the comparison between the online calculations and what your bodybugg calculated for calorie burn. I do feel the bodybugg is a much more accurate way to keep track. And I agree with you that having the digital watch keeps me motivated through the day. So far I've...

Oh wow, how cool you have one too Cynthia! Yes...VERY eye opening experience for me too. I like having the digital display wrist unit because like you said it motivates me to stay more active to increase my calorie burn! My highest calorie burn has been around 2400-2500 calories but that is...

Interesting thread! Actually I started using a Bodybugg the same time I started STS (I also go to the 24 hour fitness gym where they sell them) which is a device you wear that tracks your calorie burn and you log all your calorie intake into their web site. It has been very enlightening...as I...

STS Freestyle Rotation Jen, you're very welcome...yes they do look a little frightening [hee]...but I'm super excited to have started. My legs have been pleasantly sore :-) Can't wait for you to try the Plyo Legs workouts...the first one was incredible! It's so fun to have you as a workout...

Good morning Hi All, I decided to switch up the rotation a bit to add more lower body each week because I'm really wanting to lean that part of my body out. So I did the first Plyo Legs routine....WHOA WOWSA!! LOVE that type of workout!!! Ouch! I have been sore this week...my shoulders...

STS Freestyle Rotation Mesocycle 2 Hi Jen, Okay I sent you an invite to be my workout buddy...I think it shows up on your profile page somehow. Here's what I came up with for Mesocycle 2: The idea I had with the cardio bursts on Tues/Thurs along with the upper body workouts was to boost...

STS Freestyle Rotation You're welcome Jen. I'm going to do it too...so we should definitely keep in touch and compare our results!! Yes, that is a great idea to take measurements of those critical areas where we'd like to lose...so I'll do that tomorrow morning too...for me it's lower abs...

STS Freestyle Rotation Mesocycle 1 Hi Jen, I've been giving this some thought and have come up with a rotation that I'm going to start immediately...to see what results I get. I based it on Cathe's STS with cardio recommendations, but shuffled things around in order to add more lower body...

squat rack oh awesome...I'll go check out Walmart...thanks Belinda!

STS Check In Disc One Thanks Belinda...that really does help a lot to know that using a squat rack with a bar across it is stable and works well for pull-ups! Now....I just have to get the squat rack ordered real quick here :-) Cheryl

Freestyle training and STS Hi Jen, I've been thinking about how to incorporate this myself because I'd really like to lean down my lower body....in the last year or so it seems that things are wanting to 'stick' (I'm 46). I've used the method quite a lot in the past with great...

Disc Two done! Mornin All! I completed Disc Two this morning. This is the second time through on these so I'm finding it is flowing better for me as I know what to expect. Unfortunately I don't have access to my pull-up bar because I'm staying in a different location. So I have been using...

Workouts going well Hi all, I did Disc One yestereday...biceps are sore today! This morning I did Imax 2 and then a little floorwork from Gym Style legs. Cheryl

Hi Cathe! I was already on week 2 of the program when I saw your post about starting on the 16th...so I decided that I would start over again to do it along with you. I'm very excited about the program, I'm really enjoying the workouts! I did do Disc 1 this morning. I'm going to do the...

RE: Marathon training: work on cardio or muscular endur... Hi Jennifer, I've run 10 marathons plus one full ironman triathlon and found that muscular endurance type strength esp. for legs did help me during my marathons. Of course one does have to also build up the cardio endurance (i.e. put...

Oh NO!! I'm so sorry to hear Brenda broke her hip during the Ironman! When I saw her at the road trip she was doing her last long run in preperation for the race. I'm a fellow Ironman (did one in 2004) so... I was very excited for her. I'm so sorry to hear this has happened. That's good that...
