Tank Top Rotation Update

ashaw said:
I finished yesterday with Flex Train and yes, I finally did Rockout Knockout on Friday! I enjoyed it too. My knee started feeling tender on Thursday afternoon and I felt a twinge while doing RK on Friday, so as much as I wanted to do High Step Challenge on Saturday, I decided to play it safe and stay with a good metabolic workout. So, I've got my workouts lined up for the week and I'm not totally set on some of the later week workouts.

M- Perfect 30 Upper Body and Bonus (first repeat)

T- Butts & Guts

W- ICE Muscle Meltdowns: Shoulders, Bi's and Tri's (another repeat)

Th- Fit Tower Legs, Glutes and Core (Contingent on being able to get STS tower set up in my room and have room to move around it, but really really want to do it)

F- ICE Rock'm Sock'm Kickbox (not totally settled on this one)

S- Body Blast Push Pull (not totally settled on this one)

I got my STS 2.0 shipping email late Friday morning and so far, there's no tracking movement yet. I'm sure its in a giant pile at the post office! I can't wait to start using these new workouts as some new upper, lower and total body workouts are just what the doctor ordered. I also have to call my mechanic tomorrow or Tuesday about getting the ball rolling on getting my car fixed. My husband might have to drive a friend out of town next week, so I certainly can't be without a car.

And, remember those firewalker loops that came in a 3 pack - pink, green and blue? The wider, thicker TPE ones that came out right around the time the Low Impact Series came out? I found a brand new box of them on eBay and won the bid! I can't wait to have those back! I bought some online, but they're so slick that when my legs are sweaty, they just roll and won't stay flat. I had to use my Boss Loops for that reason when I did the Lower Body Blast floorwork a few days ago.

My workouts so far for the week have been Perfect 30 Upper Body & Bonus and today was Butts & Guts.

I really love Perfect 30 Perfect Pump Upper Body. Cathe gets a lot done in a relatively short amount of time and I always tack on the bonus and its just right. On the biceps segment, I was encouraged because I felt stronger on the biceps curls drop set. On the bonus, instead of doing the premix with the bonus exercises mixed in, I just use the bonus as a chaser after finishing those crazy weighted dips. Since I had some extra time yesterday morning, I did the no equipment from the old Total Body Stretching and it was as nice way to close things out.

This morning was Butts & Guts. Its been a long time, since probably last year, that I've done this one and it never fails to disappoint. Its tough, but fun. And I smiled during the firewalkers when Cathe has you do the crab walk and she said that her little boys loved doing the exercise with her and I thought, wow, this is from 2006 and now her "little boys" are young men in their 20's! I remember something about the Intensity series being inspired by Cathe getting back in shape after baby #2 in 2002 or 2003. I didn't even know who Cathe was back then. But that's what's fun about doing old dvd's. Its really like going back in time.

I talked to my mechanic this morning and just as I thought, my car will need to be towed in because I don't want to drive it with a bad engine cooling fan. Even though the shop is only 2 miles from where I live, it can take 20 minutes to get there in the lovely Houston traffic. So, I'm hoping to do that Fit Tower workout Thursday morning and after that call my auto insurance roadside service and get a tow truck over here. Even though my STS2.0 package is supposed to be delivered Friday, I probably won't be able to pick it up til next week. We get our mail at a private mailbox service and the good thing is the package is small enough they can put it in my box and I can get it when I go the grocery store Monday. Even if I picked it up Friday, I wouldn't be ready to incorporate any workouts into my rotation as I will need to print work sheets and preview the workouts so I can get a feel for what things look like. I know that it will be worth the extra wait!

I did Perfect Mobility Training. I love that workout!
 
Recovery and mobility is certainly something I need to make more time for. I’ve been total body foam rolling since I went to Airrosti therapy in 2012. I’d also love to do a yoga/stretch type workout on Sunday when I get back from walking Luca. I’d be warmed up and ready to do some stretching. As my old high school track coach used to say “you need a get loose day on Sunday”.

Supposedly STS2.0 will be picked up by USPS on Monday ... time unknown. I'm in Michigan but lately packages from the East are getting stuck in Detroit for days & days so I'm not expecting them until Memorial weekend. :( At least I'll be able to plan June's rotation with the User Guide out this week :)

Hopefully yours will be in your hands sooner!

I'm in Michigan, too. Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow, but based on where it is and the fact they have to go to Grand Rapids before coming back to Mid-Michigan makes me think Friday is more likely. Good luck with yours, at least our packages haven't been getting stuck. What a pain.
 
I just tracked mine and it shows:

CURRENT LOCATION:South jersey nj distribution center

If it’s gonna get here on Friday it better hoof it through the postal service!

I’ve got a tow truck scheduled for tomorrow morning and don’t expect my car to be ready til next week.
 
At least you know where it is….mine still says shipment received…package acceptance
pending, Glassboro, Monday, 5:29pm. It got scanned at the truck pickup, and that’s it.

or should I say, tracking # got scanned…actual package did not.

I’ve had stuff like that happen before with packages. It would show it had been picked up then no movement for a few days and then poof! It would show it had been processed at the north Houston facility. I hope you get yours on time. My package is a small fish in a very very big pond! :cool:
 
Mine arrived today, a day before estimated delivery date.
I tracked it the entire way and was excited to see it was being delivered today instead of tomorrow! aqua girl, i hope you get yours quickly, especially since you paid for expedited shipping.
 
I just tracked mine and it’s now in Dallas, Texas! Dallas is about 4 hours north of Houston! Even if I’m not able to pick it up til Monday, I’d actually rather wait until I’ve printed all the worksheets. Those make my workout so much smoother because I know what exercises are coming up and what weights to have handy.
 
My plans to incorporate STS 2.0 into this week's tank top rotation hit a snag when I had trouble with my printer (still haven't fixed it). I was planning to do Upper Body 1, Lower Body 1 and Giant Sets as new workouts. I grabbed my laptop, plugged in the Upper Body 1 disc and started typing my own worksheet of exercises. I was going to print it and then go exercise by exercise to write down weight loads. When I went back to the printer, I kept getting a message the printer was "offline". I was perplexed and did all possible troubleshooting. The printer is on wifi and connected, so that's not the problem. I spent over an hour messing with it and never even got to hit play on Upper Body 1. I ran out of time and my husband kept telling me to give it a break and come watch some sports - Indy, golf and baseball were dominating our TV today. I did hook up a USB cable and print the stuff I'd typed, but never got to preview any of the workouts and write down weight loads, so that's put on hold until I get a chance to actually see the workouts. I'm just going to wait until Cathe posts the worksheets with the users guide. I was just so excited to start something new, but the printer thing was maddening.

This week will be:

M- Pyramid Upper Body

T- Pyramid Lower Body

W- STS Meso 3: Shoulders, Biceps and Triceps

Th- Cardio TBD

F- Total Body Giant Sets

S- Cardio Slam
