How is the resistance band part though? Do you find it effective? I'm just curious. I have my bands and take them with me on vacation, but don't really think I use them very well. I just know a few basic things to do with them I suppose (like firewalkers).

Belinda-I am doing a rotation with Slim in 6 and I have to do this workout 6 days a week for 2 weeks trust me I don't like it. Its a mixture of cardio and resistance band training and there is ab work at the end.

It is only upper body and she forgets to do 8 reps on one side. I can't wait for the new sts travel workout I think that will help.

Hi Ladies!


Wow, disc 11 done belinda, bravo!!! WTG!!!

Debbie, Leg work is my favorite part of STS and of course the Abs. So what do you think thus far of what you've done? Did you get the STS Ab Circuits? I love the variety of the ab circuits, my faves are weights and plates, medicine ball abs (non partner ones), and no equipment abs. I'm glad your experiencing STS Strength for yourself, IMO its a keeper!

Congrats on everyone's workout today,we made it through the over the hump day, and we even worked out!!! We are Awesome,ladies!!!!!

Hi ladies -

Worked today - was late getting home. My family is home now, too! So nice!
I did GS Chest & Tris, and because I know I have a busy day tomorrow (work, visiting my mom, and a dentist appt) I went ahead and did some cardio, too. I wasn't sure what was on the list, but I did CC3. Between the 2 workouts, it took about 90 min and I burned 493 cals.
I hope you each had a great day! And thanks for the recipe, Patti!
