CHALENE EXTREME AND STS

[Ivy]

I have done P90X and I am on my third round of Chalene Extreme, how does STS compare with the two? Is it more similar to P90X? Any thoughts would be helpful, oh and is there any cardio with the STS?

I am just bumping this because I want to know what to expect when I start STS.

Thanks

I would say that STS is more like P90X, only much more varied--a big plus in my opinion. Chalean Extreme seemed to focus on compound movements. Meso 1 in STS moves quickly from one exercise to another. In Meso 2 and Meso 3, you really take your time with each exercise and muscle group.

STS Cardio was designed to go with the STS weight program, which is why some of the cardio (MMA Kickbox for example) is much less intense than others (HiiT or CCC). I love the way STS Cardio fits with the STS weight program. But you can use any cardio with STS.

Great response and I could not agree more!! I am on my fifth STS/Shock Cardio rotation and still love it.

CLX and P90X not so much....
