Hi Everyone,
I posted this question on the "ask Cathe" forum as well, but not sure if the masses read that forum.....
I recently purchased STS and am concerned about the heavy weights for squats. I have very bad discs in my low back (had surgery at 26 and have put off another surgery for the past 2 year and am currently 38). I do squats in other exercise videos, for example I match Cathe pound for pound in Butts and Guts. But to go heavier, will put me at risk of injury. I have remained surgery free (and most days pain free) by making smart choices, working on my core and stretching.
What advice do you have for me in terms of modifications to get the same results as STS would provide? I have no other limitations in terms of intensity, and high impact is no problem.
Thanks all!!!
Susan
