Forgive me if this has been answered somewhere and I didn't see it. I am pregnant and due in July. This series seems like the perfect thing for me to do postpartum, as I am really looking forward to not having to modify anymore! lol! But I noticed many demonstration pictures included gym equipment. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance!!
Do we need home gym equipment as shown in blog photos?

No, you don't need anything special for this series. The blog photos are showing OPTIONAL ways to do some exercises, often intended for those who have access to a gym. Cathe is trying to address a wide spectrum of exercisers, but SNM has posted that nothing but the usual Cathe-type equipment is needed for STS. If you have the time, you can do a search on the STS forum you'll see several more detailed responses from SNM. Some folks do like buying new equipment when they see it in the blog photos but don't think that you have to in order to get the benefits of the program. (I don't plan to!) HTH!

Chocolate IS the answer, regardless of the question.

You don't need the racks and other pieces that they show in the pics. I thought that you did at one point but found on the site that a couple different options are provided.
If you don't have the squat rack for example, Cathe had suggested you buy a weighted vest to compensate for not being able to use as heavy of plates on the barbell. For safety purposes basically, but still allows you to get the benefits of heavier weights.
Read the blog. It takes some time to sift out all the info, but there is some good dtuff in there.
