Product Description

STS Total Body is a 66 minute total body program designed to work all of your upper and lower body muscles in just one workout....PLUS, you'll be using weights that are about 60 to 80 percent of your one rep max. But if you don't feel like doing the math, just make sure that your selected weight for each exercise challenges you so much that you are fighting to finish your last couple of reps in every set. * STS Total Body features both compound and isolation exercises, but to keep the workout as short as possible, the greatest emphasis has been put on the multi-joint compound exercises and the isolation exercises have been kept to a minimum. But don't be fooled, by that word minimum because everything about this workout is maximum....maximum intensity, maximum variety and maximum results!!! * Enjoy doing this workout one or two times per week on non-consecutive days. We've also included eight special premixes to make this workout more time efficient and versatile. Equipment needed for this workout is a full sized Step (or workout bench), a Turbo Tower (or a pull up bar), weighted barbell, dumbbells, a resistance band and sliding disc (or paper plate). * STS Total Body features the following 8 premixes: * 1.

Cathe Friedrich's STS Total Body DVD Review

I just finished doing this workout for the first time in its entirety, and my arms are shaking so badly that I can barely type this! I have all of Cathe's weight workouts, and I'd say that it ranks right up there as one of her hardest!

Unlike most of her other workouts that focus on isolation exercises, this one uses primarily compound exercises. So, instead of doing a lot of moves that focus on just one body part, you'll be doing exercises that work several body parts and joints. Experts say that this is best for fat loss, and I have to agree: my heart rate was really up there while doing this workout!

The workout is made up of tri-sets, where you work do series of three exercises for each body part, twice through. This is the breakdown of the full workout:

* Warm-up
* Tri-set for legs: squats, one-leg elevated lunges, power deadlifts x 2
* Tri-set for chest: flat bench press, chest flys, dips x 2 + bonus burn
* Tri-set for back and biceps: barbell rows, one-arm row, dumbbell curl x 2 + bonus burn
* Tri-set for legs: narrow squats, static lunges, stiff-legged deadlift x 2
* Tri-set for shoulders: overhead press, upright rows, lateral raise x 2 + bonus burn
* Tri-set for legs: side slide lunge with paper plate, back lunge with paper plate, wide deadlift x 2
* Core work
* Cooldown

The bonus burns primarily use the resistance band to burn out and really fatigue the muscle group you just worked. While there are plenty of exercises that are in Cathe's previous videos, there are also a lot of new moves. The fast pace of this workout also keeps things moving along. I had to pause a few times to change my weights and set up for the next tri-set.

There are also some really nice premixes:

1. Timesaver - Compound Only Exercises 53.44 min
2. Lower Body Only - 22.29 min
3. Upper Body Only - 24.00 min
4. Timesaver - No Bonus Burn - 60.32 min
5. Timesaver - No Bonus Burn + No Abs - 51.40 min
6. Timesaver - No Abs - 57.54 min
7. Timesaver - Compound Only + No Abs - 44.53 min
8. Timesaver - Single Sets - 45.50 min

The only real negative to this workouts is that it requires a lot of equipment: dumbbells in various weights, a barbell, a step or weight bench, sliding disks or paper plates, and a resistance band.

If you've done the full three-month STS program before and did your 1 rep max testing, you can print up a workout card to determine the weights you should lift off of Cathe's website. You definitely don't need to have done STS before, though, to use this workout.

Since I've only done this workout as the regular program, I'll be sure to update this review after I've tried some of the premixes. For now, though, I just want to say that it's a fantastic workout -- and I think I'm going to have trouble moving tomorrow! ;-)
