Compare STS Total Body & High Reps goals?

[Momto5boys]

I also posted this question in Ask Cathe, but thought maybe others might have some insight to help me decide between ordering STS Total Body or High Reps. I don't usually do a lot of weight-only workouts (usually cardio or cardio/weight circuit.) Can you compare the two in style of the workout and net physical outcome? Is one approach more likely to build muscle? What is the main goal of an STS type workout versus doing high reps? What do some of you prefer? Thanks!

Hi Mom to five boys! If you are used to cardio/weight circuits I would go for High Reps DVD first. It has a pace that it more endurance based and will work one muscle to total exhaustion with high reps (before moving on) and in some cases brings on a bit of cardio output as well. STS is a bit more structured and more like classic weight training but with that being said, have a unique sequence going on with it that gets the heart rate up pretty high too so I think eventually you will enjoy this one too. Good Luck!

Thanks, Cathe! I ordered it! I appreciate the advice. So great to see the clips, now, too. I think I may end up ordering the STS Total Body eventually, as well. Thanks for keeping me motivated.
