Good morning girls,

Today I will do cardio:eek::eek: I am sore from yesterday's workout! Also my legs are still sore from Sunday! I am really looking forward to disc 2 tomorrow, I am so excited!

Karen, how are you feeling today! Any DOMS?

Heidi, what are you up to today?

Amelia, let me know what is in that ebook, ok! :eek:

Ok, need more coffee! BBL!
 
Hello and Good Morning to you all,

Belinda: Nice job on the DOMS! You will be feeling this for a couple days. ;)

Off to do Disc 1 for the 2nd time. (I am restarting STS.)

Karen: I noticed that you posted your weights yesterday. Is this total weight used per exercise or per DB?
I used really light weights the last time and still got a good workout with soreness! ;)
How are you doing today? Can you lift your arms? ;)

Hey Amelia! What are you up to today? Make it a good one!

Hello to Jay! How was the club?

Better get moving!

I am sore in places today that have never been sore before. My ribs feel like they are bruised from the STS ab workout yesterday; also the area outside of the chest area (like on the side under my arms) is really sore. Its weird. Other than that no major DOMS. I was surprised my biceps weren't sore.

Today was Imax2 and I rocked it! I burned 709 calories and felt awesome! At 2 points in time after 2 of the blasts my HRM actually said 90! I've never been that high before. I was huffing that is for sure!

Heidi - the weights I posted for yesterday were a mix. Where a used a dumbells I listed the weight of just one of the dumbells. For the barbell obviously that was the total weight I used. I can lift my arms today - however I may not be able to walk tomorrow since I slammed my knee into the bathroom sink really hard this morning. (not on purpose) sigh.
 
Hello Ladies,

WOW!!! Everyone is starting STS!!! Oh... so envious!!!:p:p;):D

Belida and Karen: Are you ladies feeling the DOMS!!!
Excellent Job!!!

Heidi: You too!!! Great job!!! No, I changed my mind. The gym was too much for me. I thought I was a good idea for me to find new friends. It is so hard for me to trust people. My friends are here in this forum. You guys are so great.

Hi Amelia: What's in for you today? have fun!!

Off to my workout.
30 minutes treadmill and lower body workout.

OH KAREN! Sorry to hear about your injury! I hope that it doesn't swell up too much!
Nice job on your workout though! ;)
Oh...those DOMS in your chest/sides are most likely from all those push-ups! I felt this first time around like that and also in my abs!

Belinda: Great job on IMAX 2 also!

Hello Amelia and Jay! Have a great lower body workout today!

Have to head off to work.

Hi Belinda:

Not sure how about you?
What is the difference?

I have logged into my calendar the first Meso cycle that Cathe has for a rotation.

BBL
Heidi
 
Heidi, i ask Cathe the same thing:D This is what she had to say:D


Hi Belinda! How is it going so far? I would say the 3 month rotation is great for the following: a person who likes fast change, is already familiar with a lot of my workouts, is an experienced weight lifter, can't commit to long programs, gets bored easily. The 6 month program is great for the following: a person who is new to weight training and or not familiar with my previous workouts, enjoys the familiarity of a workout and while enjoys change, doesn't want too much too soon, one who can commit to a long term rotation with full focus and commitment.

Overall, you are going to get great results no matter how you slice the program. It comes down to a personal preference and knowing how your body and mind respond to exercise. If you like constant change do the three month, if you like to really feel familiar with whats coming and enjoy a repeat performance even more the second time around, then do the 6 month.

The only time I will say that the 6 month rotation is definitely better than the 3 month rotation is when a person is new to weight training. There is just so much variation and content for a newbie to digest and benefit from at that fast learning curve.

Hope tha helps Belinda. Miss you!

Hey Belinda:

Thank you for the explanation! I guess I should take a look at the rotation to see how it is layed out.

So you are planning on doing this for the 6month rotation still? Did you load the rotation into your calendar? I loaded the 3month original STS rotation into my calendar starting today.

BBL
Heidi
 
Belinda: Why are you mad? :)
Did you not want to do the 6 month one or is it not recording your workouts correctly?

I was hoping to get a printed copy of the two different rotations but haven't found it yet.
So I now have both the 3month and 6month scheduled into my calendar!

Waiting for it to upload the rotation so I can edit it!

Hello guys! It’s me…Steph! Remember me?! :D


I don’t seem to have the time to check in with all of you daily and feel bad because I don’t so that is one reason why I haven’t been checking in! Also life seems to have me busy too!

Just wanted to give my 2 cents on STS. I finished disk #7 this morning so I guess I’m on week # 3. All the workouts have been quite challenging for me, to say the least! I found the first week the hardest just because it’s muscle ENDURANCE!!! But you know I found just this morning that I can last just about all the way through the workout without hitting that WONDERFUL “PAUSE” button. I am really excited about that. I haven’t been doing much cardio the past week because of personal family issues but plan on hitting it harder this week and will continue on throughout the next 3 months. Some of the exercises I definitely need to modify but that’s okay in my book as long as I am doing something. Oh boy, let me tell you about the “Elmo Push-ups in today’s workout! She calls them “Elmo” because you will be shaking just like the “Tickle me Elmo” doll! She actually says that! I had to modify that one! You put your stability ball out in front of you and place your hands on the ball and lean into it then have your legs out behind you in the push-up position…yeah! Can’t remember how many she does, but it’s a burner for sure! I think I read one of you said NO MORE PUSHUPS!!! This disk is FULL of them! Drop sets, wide arm, straddles, cross push-ups…the list just goes on and on!

Has anyone tried the abs disk? Cathe does one-legged pike’s on the ball…I don’t think I’ve seen her do that one before. Again, modify modify!

Well, just wanted to pop in! I’m at work so I need to get going but hope everyone is/has been doing well and look forward to hearing all about your workouts!
 
Hi Steph!

Glad to see you are still working hard! ;)

I am starting to tighten up big time from today's workout!!! Oh boy and I going to be in trouble tomorrow! It is amazing what just a few extra #'s will do to your workouts!

I can't find a printable sheet for the 3month or 6month rotations. So I have both in my scheduled calendar! Just wanted to see the difference in their layout. Oh Well!

I better go get some ADVIL!

Love this rotation and new program so far!

Amelia and Jay: How did your workouts go?

Have a great evening and I will check back later or tomorrow!
Heidi
 
Do you all mind if I hang around? I didn't mean to hijack this thread with my last post. :eek: I was just really excited to be back here and about STS.

Amelia, you are looking good girl! What a transformation! I am so proud of you! Did I read somewhere you took up running in January? I started running last January and love what it's doing for my energy level not to mention the weightloss! How often do you run? Do you have a TM or do you run outdoors? How's the doggie? Does he tag along or is he pulling you?! How are the kiddos? I see spring training for the Braves starts this month! Are you still a big fan? GO BRAVES!!!


Heidi, here is a link to what you may be looking for: (3 month rotation)

I never really looked at the 6 month rotation until now. It appears all you are to do is say for the first week do disk #1 on Monday, #2 on Wednesday and #3 on Friday then the 2nd week do that same again then the 3rd week do 4, 5 and 6 then the 4th week do 4,5 and 6 again...is that right? It seems to me it's lacking cardio, but hey, what do I know.

Belinda, hey lady! How's it goin'? How's DH, DD and DS? Are the kids still in college? How are they doing? Has the house sold or are you keeping it? Planning on any trips to the States any time soon? Do you still take the pups for their daily walks? How is the house you moved into? I remember the flooding you had! :eek: I saw some pictures awhile back of your workout room! Really neat! Looks like you have everything you need!

Jay, hey stranger! How's life been treating you? Are you still in California? Are you in Northern or Southern CA, I can't remember? Did you get STS? Which LB WO did you end up doing? Hope you have a great evening!

Karen, I see you are living in WI. That's where my DS lives! He's in Hartford. He calls quite frequently saying he's tired of all the snow! What about you...are you a snow lover? DS and his GF came down here to NC last March (the weather here was unusually warm) and they ended up going back home with a sunburn! They got strange looks! I also see you are one strong lady! I was looking at the #'s you used and wow, you blow me out of the water! Oh, and I see YOU were the one saying "Please no more pushups!"! LOL


Okay, gotta get off here. Boy, it's good to be back here...hope you'll take ME back!


ciao!
 
Hey Steph!!!! What a nice suprise to see you here!!!! Im doing great,yep...took up running in janurary and starting eating better(loggin all my foods online now) and i haven't really lost any weight,but ive lost inches. The running is so fun...how long are you running for? The most i go for is two miles right now on a treadmill,i do run outside but its alot harder to me! all this running is doing amazing things to my legs and belly too. I only go like twice a week!

You too are starting STS. No, I didn't order it. Maybe in the near future.
Glad you are back!!!:p;):p hehe...

Hi Amelia: I am so sorry about your problems. Hugs!!! Hope everything will work out for you and the family. Best wishes!!!

Belinda, Karen and Heidi: Great job on STS!!!

Have a great evening.:)

Jay
 
Hey Steph!

Thank you for the link to the cardio and STS rotation. I did print this out last week but I was looking for the 6month rotation and couldn't find it.
Oh...you are right about the rotations not having cardio listed on the off days etc. I guess this is why Cathe made that one for cardio suggestions while using STS.
I have been playing with my calendar and fixing the rotations that I piled on there. I now only have the 3 month one showing.

I am getting so sore! I might not be able to move tomorrow!

Amelia: I hope everything works out for you soon whatever is going on. (I am in the dark... ;) )

Hey Jay: What happened with your workout today? :)

Hello to Belinda (shhhh must be sleeping ;) )

Karen: I hope the DOMS are better tomorrow for your next round of STS!

Have a good nights rest everyone and I will see you back here early!
Heidi
