For more information on the STS program see STS Overview and Prep I have decided that in mesocycles 1 and 2 I will review STS biweekly, which will equal out to 3 workouts reviewed per post. Since I am doing the 5.5 month rotation I will be spending 2 months in mesocycles 1 & 2 but … Continue reading STS Weeks 1 & 2 (Workouts 1, 2 & 3 + Extended Stretch)
**4/19/13 edit--I will be reviewing the workouts as I go through the program. Scroll to the bottom for links to the individual workouts (new links will be added when each review posts). STS is a weight-lifting/strength program. That's the short description. But it is so much more complex than that and in so many ways. … Continue reading STS Overview and Prep
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! I bought Cathe’s Xtrain workouts and I am doing the 90 day rotation (loosely followed--more on that in a bit), all of which I … Continue reading Xtrain: Week 6
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! For me, at least, these are the best workouts ever. I just finished the 3rd week, so major differences would not … Continue reading Xtrain: Week 3 Update
Super Cuts is part of Cathe‘s Xtrain series. For more info on the series as a program see My Intro to Xtrain. I think I have found my new favorite workout in Cathe’s Supercuts. Actually I think I have found a collection of new favorite workouts in Xtrain, as I love them all, but Supercuts … Continue reading Xtrain: Super Cuts
Xtrain is a workout series from Cathe Friedrich. I have been anxiously awaiting this program for months. I pre-ordered it the day it appeared on Cathe’s website many months ago and every time she posted an update on the production progress of this series/program, my anticipation grew. Anyone who follows this blog knows in 2012 … Continue reading My Intro to Xtrain
I can’t believe that since April, I have managed to purchase almost every single Cathe DVD available. In fact, other than Xtrain (which I have on pre-order and it ships 12/27/12--whoo-hoo!), there are only 2 more Cathe DVDs I am “on the fence” about buying. The remaining 5 I don’t think I will ever get. … Continue reading Cathe’s Travel Fit
Hardcore Extreme is another compilation DVD from Cathe. Her compilation collections are basically DVDs that contain premixes--but they are premixes created from multiple existing workouts. And two of them in particular: Terminator and Hardcore Extreme, contain long and brutal “premixes.” Hardcore Extreme is created from 4 workouts in the Hardcore Series: Imax 3, Low Max, … Continue reading Cathe’s Hardcore Extreme
What a deceptively painful workout. I am nearing the end of my new-to-me Cathe workouts (not a problem because Cathe’s Xtrain should be released in a few weeks--more new Cathe workouts!) and Turbo Barre is one that I put off purchasing, then once I purchased it, I put off doing it for a long time. … Continue reading Cathe’s Turbo Barre
Step, Pump and Jump is a very cool circuit workout--and it was a relief! It comes on a multi-workout DVD. The other workout on the DVD is Step Blast, which I did not care for. It's good to know I didn't waste my money! I previewed Step, Pump and Jump by watching the clip on … Continue reading Cathe’s Step Pump and Jump
