Hi everyone who has been debating whether or not to purchase STS. I was one of you and then I caved. I made myself a deal. I sold my P90X for $100.00 on ebay to offset the cost. I've viewed P90X, but it never really clicked for me - I'd much rather be working out with Cathe. And I did the installment plan to make it easier to pay off, I'll just cut down on my expenses for the next couple of months.
I was concerned about having to purchase more dumbbells. But rationalized the purchase by telling myself that I was in fact getting 37 new dvds (even if there are premixes). But I'm getting that many new workouts. And mesocycle #1 & #2 are more endurance based and/or similar to Gym Styles (I'm thinking). Those workouts alone far exceed $210.00. I can use those workouts for more variety, and then when I'm ready to do the whole program, I can purchase heavier dumbbells. And I would have gotten STS at the best price possible.
And if in the future, I don't want it, I can probably sell it on ebay for close to the purchasing price. It was a really hard decision for me. Because I don't really really want larger, stronger muscles right now. But I did want new challenging Cathe weight workouts for variety and I didn't want to be out of the loop. And then again, at least I'll have the option to do the whole program at the best purchase price when I'm ready. You know we go through cycles, sometimes we want to do endurance based workouts and sometimes we're in the mood to do real heavy duty strength training. Sorry for the rambling...Hope my rationalizing helps someone. Edie
