    Biloxbelle: Thanks for explaining STS. Sounds like a good workout, is the pace fast? I really want to complete P90X but I just think it is so slow and super long.

    Well I was wrong, it stands for SHock Training System, not STrength Training. The pace changes for each Meso cycle. Right now I'm in muscle endurance so I'm lifting 60% or so of my max for about 14-16 reps. Then there's a 30 second rest. The next Meso is hypertrophy & I will be lifting 75ish?% of max for only like 10 reps or so with a bit of a longer break (i think 45 seconds?). The last Meso is strength & you basically go as heavy as you can for 6-8 reps & the break is a bit longer again.

    What I really like is that time flies while doing the workouts. I never look at the clock wondering when it will be over. She doesn't repeat an exercise, so you do the exercise & move on. Each workout varies in length. SOme are 45 minutes, some are 55 minutes, etc. The only negative for me so far is the amount of equipment she uses during each workout. My workout room looks like a tornado hit when I'm done. But it is challenging (my hubby does it too) & different from p90x, but with many of the same concepts (muscle confusion, etc).

    Go to Cathe.com & check it out. She has some pretty lengthy clips. AND right now the set is the cheapest it has ever been & probably ever will be. It's the 'weekly special' so its down from $300 to $199 PLUS 30% off. AND with the quantity discount special also running, you can basically get the Ab Circuits dvd for free if you wanted! STS does not have cardio included.

    Hello everyone, I just finished a 60 minutes full body workout. I played tennis for my upper body for 30 minutes, I did 50 reps on the AKP for my abs, I was 10 minutes on the Gazelle, I did some rehab work for my knee and I did 10 ups and downs in the stairs. I now have to hurry and get ready for my afternoon class and after, I am going to the agency for our monthly team meeting.

    Take care and be good to yourselves :flowerforyou:

    Good afternoon all! Georgia is still in a state of Emergency and as a result I did not have to work today......Yippee....Yippee....Yippee. However, the Dept. of Transportation has yet to come to my neigbhor to put salt/sand down and as a result my entire subdivision is a sheet of ice. I have a long driveway that is completely ice.

    Today, I completed the Fire 45 EZ (500 calories) dvd from the Turbo Fire program and Ab Ripper X (100 calories) from the P90X program. Once the workout was completed I decided to tackle the driveway. Since I have not had to salt/sand or shovel my driveway in the 10 years that I've resided in GA I decided to wear my HRM to see how many calories I burned taking on this task. I only made it 45 minutes shovelling before I called it a day and I'M NO WAY near being done but I burned (300 calories) in the process. I usually don't count household tasks as my part of my workout but I did today because as i stated I NEVER shovel and i can feel it in every part of my body...


    Chocolickkyss: 4/7

    I'm chatting on the phone w/my girlfriend as I write this post therefore I have not had an opportunity to review everyone's post. I will review posts a little later. Hope everyone is bringing!
