STS Workout Overview
STS features three mesocycles, each lasting four weeks. Each mesocycle is designed to stimulate your muscles and body in a different way.
The STS program is designed to be simple and easy to use. Every STS DVD is numbered so that you can easily identify which DVD you will need for that days workout.
Each week combines exercises you have done in the previous weeks with totally fresh exercises that you havent done before. This way you always have some exercises that you are familiar and more comfortable with and new exercises that will keep your bodys muscles always guessing and challenged in new ways.
You will notice that every workout in the STS series has an information bar located at the bottom of your screen that will appear at the beginning of every break and will then disappear once the break is over. The information bar will always display how much time is left before the next exercise begins and will tell what the next exercise is as well as what equipment you will need. Other information like percentage of one rep max, reps and targeted muscle groups will also be displayed.
Mesocycle 1
Mesocycle 1 is all about muscle endurance. You will lift weights that are 6070% of your 1RM during these four weeks. Each week will feature a different workout for every muscle group. Your rep range will be around 15 reps or more for most exercises, but to total failure for many others like push ups, pull ups and band work. This cycle is divided into three muscle groupings with four workouts per grouping:
#1 Chest, Shoulders and Biceps
#2 Back and Triceps
#3 Legs
These nonstop workouts are sure to test the endurance of even an advanced exerciser and feature training concepts like drop sets, 21s and rest periods of 3045 seconds between exercises. You will do one set for each muscle group and have only about 30 seconds of rest before moving on to the next body part.

Be careful with your back Cathe, when you finish a exercise like the dealift you must leave the dumbbells on the floor (and then you come up slowly) for a few seconds. After you can walk away with theim. Protect yourself. Luis

@lovechild8383 So what, she's earned that, and are you telling me that's the reason you shouldn't work out to her videos? Cause it's a pretty lame reason.

me fascina excelentes ejercicios

[lovechild8383]

Yeah she tough and all but she comes off as having that " I dare you keep up with me" attitude. Not feeling motivated . Sorry Cathe worshippers.

Cathy's awesome! People shouldn't even compare this to p90x which is simply part of a marketing scheme called beachbody.

Cathy's workouts are definitely more serious and I love that she doesnt walk around and basically bs throughout the whole video like other instructors. Plus, her workouts give you real results. If they don't, you're doing something wrong.

@marykmac07 Umm actually that's not true at all. Sorry, but if you want a great body, lose fat as fast as possible, achieve ultimate health, and no cellulite -you gotta lift weights. It's a proven fact that weights burns WAY WAY more fat than cardio. All these women's arms are not huge, they simply have muscles -big difference. And frankly, I personally prefer those arms than huge fatty arms.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything but I would give weights a try.

[marykmac07]

This workout is great if you want huge muscle arms. I love to be tone but not huge in the arms. Guys weights

WOW! It's SUPER!!!
