STS Week 19 (Disks 25, 26 & 27)

For more information on STS see STS Overview and Prep Mesocycle 3 begins! And since I am doing the 5.5 month rotation (rather than a 6.5 month rotation) I will only be in Meso 3 one month--so the STS reviews will be coming out weekly for the next 4 weeks. I also decided to not … Continue reading STS Week 19 (Disks 25, 26 & 27)

Bob Harper’s Ultimate Cardio Body

Bob Harper’s Skinny Rules Workouts

Total Body Transformation

Bob Harper’s Total Body Transformation is a cardio + strength workout. It is primarily metabolic weight training but it gives your shoulders and your lower body some serious work.

Xtrain: Week 6

For more info on Xtrain see My Intro to Xtrain and Week 3 Update. I haven’t been blogging as frequently for several reasons. First because there are no new workouts to review!

Xtrain: Week 3 Update

For more info on Xtrain, see My Intro to Xtrain. I said I would give updates as I go through the 90 day undulating Xtrain rotation, so here is update #1. I LOVE it!
