    Which workouts have the side plank core move Cathe describes in her article

    http://cathe.com/strengthening-core-isolation-integrative-exercises-effective - but with both feet touching the mat and the fore arm on the mat - side planks. I know I did it recently but now I can't find it. I went through the abs/core sections of all the workouts I've been using. Is it hidden?

    Turbo Barre Premixes #1 & #2

    Thank you so much, Tiletha. This is very helpful! I also appreciate the administrator responding, but it is good to know which segments are left out.

    So what do you think of the music?

    I like to love the music in everything but Trisets. The lower body segment is much better, using bass instead of regular, shrill guitar, but it still isn't the kind of music designed to fit with the moves. It's like the rock music they play in some gym weightrooms - just background music but too...

    Turbo Barre Premixes #1 & #2

    What is the focus of these premixes? They are each almost an hour - is something left out of each one or what? I would really appreciate an explanation. Thanks!

    EB and unwanted advertising - vent

    I only buy yard eggs for humanitarian reasons. I suppose if everyone did that they would become very expensive as you can't have a giant farm factory with free ranging chickens, but I would prefer to pay more and not have chickens treated so badly. I let them age at least a couple of weeks...

    For Cathe: Question about age and STS

    I would like to lose a few pounds but it may not happen during my first STS rotation as adding muscle is my priority. I have read and heard many times that reducing calories and/or increasing cardio enough to cause weight loss is detrimental to building muscle. What I'm thinking is once I...

    Need to get in shape for STS!!! - HELP!

    Sorry about your dog. I know that is a very hard and sad thing to have to do. I was a bit out of shape back before STS came out and spent about two months gradually upping the level of my workouts both cardio and strength. I did Gymstyles split into shorter segments and then 4DS. I still...

    For Cathe: Question about age and STS

    That is an interesting statement that one cannot build endurance after 60. I don't know where that is coming from - maybe you can't become a champion cyclist, runner, whatever starting that late, but surely anyone can improve endurance by building up gradually.

    For Cathe: Question about age and STS

    A number of us over at VF are wondering if STS needs to be modified for people over 50 or 60 and up - we are finding we need more recovery time or we are still sore when the next workout for the same muscle groups comes up - should we space the workouts farther apart, use lower weights than our...

    Lack of Stamina

    I am doing STS and enjoying the workouts with pretty heavy weights. However, I guess I've let my aerobic conditioning slide - too much walking for cardio. I find my HR gets uncomfortably high during something like Higher Intensity Step - I end up walking or jogging lightly during the...

    I had to stop STS

    I'm sorry you hurt your wrist - I'm wondering if you had previously done the forearm and wrist curls as in Slow and Heavy, Gymstyles and 4DS. I have been trusting these have prepared me for the heavier lifting in STS. I know how discouraging an injury like that can be and want to avoid it...

    When you are finished with STS

    So when you finish Meso #3 are you supposed to start over with Meso #1? Do you continue this cycle indefinitely?

    STS as full-body workouts instead...

    Just do 1/2 or 1/3 of each of 3 DVDs one day, then the next time go to Chapters and start where you left off on each DVD. It's not that much changing and you can probably use the break!

    SNM - issue with STS DVDs, unfortunately

    Aren't Cathe's DVDs guaranteed for life if you purchase directly from her?

    purchasing Mesocycle #3 plus Legs - squat rack workouts

    I just got my Meso 3 preorder today and the Squat Rack workouts were not included. What gives? I emailed customer service.

    thoughts...one body part per day rotation with STS

    I wish there were premixes for this but Meso 1 & 3 alternate muscle groups within a workout, so it would be awkward it seems to me to do only one muscle group.

    Meso 3 - Legs and Shoulders Together?

    Thanks so much for infoming me of this feature!

    Meso 3 - Legs and Shoulders Together?

    Are the shoulder exercises on the same disc as Plyo legs? If so, are they also included on the optional squat rack discs?

    What Lower Body Workouts are in Meso #3?

    Thanks, Katie.

    What Lower Body Workouts are in Meso #3?

    I know it comes with a separate squat rack set, and it includes Plyo Legs - are there two other lower body workouts in Meso 3? What are they? Thanks!
