Thank You, Chris!!!!

Chris:

Thank you so much for your response in this thread about the STS lower body workouts being more like Butts and Guts than Slow and Heavy Legs:

http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=3&topic_id=68867#69068

I am not wild about Slow and Heavy Legs and really cannot lift a heavy enough barbell over my head to get an effective workout, but I adore Butts and Guts, Gym Style Legs, and Leaner Legs. I like the 4-Day Split lower body workout too. I placed my preorder with hesitation, and I am excited about this series for the first time after reading your response. I was concerned about where I would store and how I would safely use super heavy weights at home.

Based on your recommendation for equipment, I also purchased Perfect Pushup tonight. Wow! For the first time in my life, I can do push-ups with no strain on my wrists or shoulders! I am looking forward to Higher Intensity Step in the morning. :7 I may actually enjoy push-ups now! ;-) The rotation movement makes push-ups kind of fun. Just don’t tell Cathe. ;-) LOL! Thanks for the suggestion.

Blessings,
Heather B.

Glad you're enjoying the Perfect Pushup. It really does make doing pushups more enjoyable and a lot loss painful. I'm happy the lower body thread helped you understand the project better. We still have a lot more to explain so stay tuned.

Hey sweetpea!

Great to hear you so motivated and chipper!!! Hope your holidays were terrific and that 2008 is off to a wonderful start for you!

RE: Heather!

I agree Heather. SNM is doing a wonderful job responding to the questions on STS. The official responses are very helpful. Unfortunately, there are so many threads on STS that it is very time consuming to wade through everything for the answers.

SNM,
Is it possible for you to pin a thread (for administrative use only) containing all of your responses to the most commonly asked questions and concerns about STS?

TIA,

jordan

Kathy:

What a joy to hear from you! :7 I was getting ready to call it a day when I saw your response. 2008 is off to a great start! :7 I am doing the 12-week challenge here (using Cathe’s 4-Day Split) and started a Biggest Loser challenge with my church family Wednesday evening. The 4-Day Split is definitely my series! I am down 6 pounds since New Year’s Eve! :7 Yippee! I found a way of eating that I can live with for the rest of my life too. I returned to eating 4 times a day and around 80 percent clean. That works better for me than trying to be perfect, and I am less preoccupied with food overall when I eat less often.

I found the Perfect Pushup at Target for $39.99. You can find a cheaper one (same brand) at Wal-Mart that needs to be assembled. I feel more secure with the sturdier one. Are you still enjoying your Nike Shox? I still have not found a good replacement for my favorite kickboxing shoes, but I will let you know when I do!

Sweet dreams! :*

Blessings,

Hi Amy,

Were they the actual Perfect Pushup brand? I may need to go get me a pair!;-)

 

[owhynot]

thanks for this info. This pushed me over the edge to pre-order since my knees can't take using weights.

RE: Heather!

I picked up the perfect pushup at a Big 5 sports store. They did have a smaller travel version - which might be the 19.99 version. I got the official regular ones for that same 39.99. I had both my DS's try them out in the store before hand - they liked them too.

Thanks! I'd rather have the full-size version, so I'll definitely look into them!
