[megmn]

So I finally ordered STS strength.. What should i expect? Im hoping to shed some lbs.
Ive got almost all of cathes other workouts. Ive also done most of the beachbody workouts.
Should I be nervous?

Well i plan to start monday
Any tips? Im really hoping this will do the trick to break my plateau.

You're going to love it. I highly recommend doing the 1RM testing, even though it seems like a pain in the neck at first to do it. It pays off as soon as you begin the program.

Also, go to CatheTV and watch the weekly recaps that Cathe did last year as she was going through the program herself. Very helpful.

Congratulations on the STS purchase. I also recommend doing the 1RM testing. It helped me lift way heavier than I ever thought possible.

I've also done Beachbody workouts. Cathe will push you!!! I've done STS 4 rounds now and LOVE it. I have to admit before Cathe, all I did was Beachbody - now, Beachbody is in my drawer and I rarely use them. Cathe will get you super fit and I'm sure you will LOVE it!!!

Congrats and good choice! This series is like nothing else on the market, when I really pay attention to the advice in between sets, I feel like I am working with a personal trainer.

I feel to lose weight, you need to make sure to incorporate the 3 days of cardio alternating with the 3 days of weights every week, and I can definitely attest to this, your eating is really the driving factor in how much weight you lose when doing any program. My calorie intake has been really high, so I have actually gained fat, but at least I can feel and see some of the strength/muscle gains. I'm working now on getting my eating under control.

Good luck and have fun with it, I'm sure you will love it!

Good choice! You'll see you're going to love it. I've done STS 3 times and every time I do I notice huge difference, I did the 1MR test when I first got the series, last time I did sts I had to review and enter new weight because it was getting easy or because I needed a new challenge.
I gain muscle I don't think I lost that much weight but remember muscle its heavy then fat so the scale doesn't say the true...I'm pretty happy with the results, don't be afraid of lifting heavy you'll be surprise how much you are capable to lift
Are you user of the workout manager?! if not you should it would keep you motivate and its fun..
Good luck!!
