I really like it. I like the shorter length of workouts too. Let's me add in other things I enjoy. I do not think it is near as tough as P90X (and I'm sure it's because they are shorter and there are no pullups). I just haven't got that, "this is the best program ever!" feeling like I got with P90X. But, it is fun and works you hard and there is no dread factor at all. I think the cardio workouts compare to P90X in intensity. There is nothing annoying in the workouts either, at least to me. I like Chalene and she does a great job in these workouts.

These days when I take children to school keep me hopping. I got up at 4:45 hoping to get STS chest, shoulders and biceps in. I ended up doing the seated front press twice as I wasn't sure what was coming and my weight was way to light. It took a bit to get my coffee down and arrange my stuff. Also looking at the Weight increments. Anyway grandbaby arrived at 5:50 this morning so I didn't get finished so that slowed me down even more. Then dear daughter came in with her girls and had to stop for a bit at the last 3 exercises. I did finally get it done. Added some other 1RM's and did the extended stretch. When I came back from the schools I did Traceys Steady State Step 1st 20 minutes then forwarded to the final tracey only segment and stretch. For a 30 minute cardio workout. I finished with STS Abs segments pilates and yoga. These were pretty good even with the baby climbing all over me. My Lawrence Biscontini foam roller workout just arrived
I was reading the cover and it has a core segment in the second section using the foam roller and a medicine ball. I will use that tomorrow along with a lower impact cardio day. My knee has improved a lot.
Meals:
Post workout before school 1/2 cup lactaid cottage cheese and 1 TBS raisins
Lunch Muscle Chow Power Pasta(this was yummy) he says it is a complete protein with the addition of the feta cheese, parmesan cheese and endamame)
Dinner will be chicken, a veggie and salad
Patti, I have been catching up my immunizations and the first time they did the hepatitis B it swelled up and hurt. Second one, not sure which it was hurt so bad I couldn't sleep and ended up taking motrin.
Teddy, we saw that show Lie to Me last night. Was pretty good.
Debbie, glad to hear you are feeling better.

All right, I attempted Newport this morning. Overall I think I did pretty well, but it is one tough workout. I used my 20# KB on everything except where noted.
Round 1 : Cossack stretch , squat/thrust/snatch (3 mins.); bicycle (1 min.)
Round 2: Squat/Press, One-Arm Swing (4 mins.); double leg raise (keep feet 6" from floor) (1 min.)
Round 3: 2-handed swing, hot potato (4 mins.); twisting crunch (1 min. - Anthony does sets of 10-8-6-4-2 and then repeats)
Round 4: Punch matrix, plank (you go through each exercise 3x) (3 mins.); Single leg raise (keep stationary leg 6" from floor) (1 min.)
Round 5: Side snatch, overhead lunge (4 mins.) side plank (1 min.)
Round 6: Squat/kick, sots press (press from a squat) (3 mins.); standing oblique crunch (1 min.) I could not do the SOTS as is, I could not press the 20# overhead at the bottom of the squat, so I did it on the up movement.
Round 7: Hand to hand clean, dragon lunge (curtsy lunge) 4 mins. ; Russian twist which then turns into russian twist with bicycle crunch. I didn't do the bicycle part
Round 8: kettlebell pushup (just like the side-to-side pushups in P90X), dive bombers into cobra and janda situp Shoulders completely gave out here, there was a lot of stop and start
Extra Round: Snatch/Turkish get-up/Windmill - You do one set of all 3 moves on one side, then the other; repeat. I did these with a 15# DB, wasn't sure I could could the 20#KB up there after the pushups
Bonus Round: 5 mins. snatch test - Did the whole test with my 20#KB but did not match Anthony's pace.
Note - Today's thanks go out to Marcy who originally posted the rounds, again I just added my stats
Debbie, Char & DianeSue - Glad to hear the injuries are on the mend!

Hi again, how do you all make your protein pancakes? Always looking for something new.

Roselyn: Here is how I make mine.
Whip 4 egg whites, add cinnamon and splenda to taste. Add 1/2 cup uncooked oats and 1/2 cup banana slices (I like mashed). Pour in a large non-stick pan to make one big pancake and cook on both sides.
Spread 1/2 tbsp. natural peanut butter on top and/or SF syrup and enjoy!

What do you all use in your BSN shakes? Milk or water.

This is the recipe I use too, but I add a couple tablespoons of ground flax seed in mine. I spread almond butter on mine and either jam (eat it rolled up this way) or sugarless syrup.
I always use milk in my protein shakes. Not a big fan of a watery protein drink.
I plan on doing Newport for the first time this week. It looks fun!

Having dinner of grilled chicken and green beans with lemon pepper.
I have been trying to preview all of these STS dvd's before I have them replace my case. All of this running in and out the door makes it hard.
Teddy, LOL I went back and looked and I was thinking of the show last night called What Would You Do?
Linda, I meant to say thanks for the name of the grocery store where you got the cottage cheese. As far as I know there is not one of those here unless they are affiliated with another store. Good job on Newport
Roselyn, it varies on what I use in my protein shakes. Sometimes I use skim milk or soy milk sometimes I use coffee some sugar free caramel syrup and a little milk. If I am adding berries I use water.
Dallys, I am sure you will have fun with Newport
