Cathe,
First and foremost a HUGE heartfelt THANK YOU for all you've done over the years for the fitness community. You are truly one of the BEST. I've trained with you for many years now and you are my favourite.
A combination of factors; a little bit of hypothyroidism following a thyroid cancer and age...I just turned 60, have resulted in a weight gain that I have a hard time to combat. After discussing with my doctor, a little increase in my Syntroid dosage should help, but of course I would like to compliment that with a sound exercise program and clean eating.
I am 5'5" with a good muscle mass and I am presently doing Phase 2 of STS (still 3 weeks to go). I will not be doing Phase 3, as the last time I did it I felt like Hulk!!! I prefer rotations as I don't question what's on them, I just do it. I have pretty much all your last releases (4 Day Split, STS, Low Impact system, X Train and soon ICE), along with many of your classics. My goal is to loose around 10 lbs, but of course keep the muscle mass.
My strength is really...strength training. I do cardio about 3/week, but my HR gets high quite easily and I get winded easily as well. That might be another goal, to increase my hearth capacity, but I know I should concentrate on one goal at the time.
Could you please suggest where I should concentrate and what kind of rotation I should do for the few months ahead? I thank you in advance for your suggestions. You are the BEST
