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.

It’s nice to see …
It’s nice to see guys in the video now. I use workout videos and although I like seeing women, it’s good to know that other guys are doing the workout. This looks very interesting. Thanks for the preview!
Ok. Listen. I …
Ok. Listen. I understand all the Hub Bub . P90x vs Cathe. Isn’t it best to alternate your workouts? Cathe and Tony are the best. No disputing that. I like to alternate between the 2. P90x gave me the format to determine what Cathe videos to use.
It’s like saying I can be both a Cubs and White Sox fan. It can work. I don’t understand the hostility and vulgarity on this comment page however. That really should not be allowed.(Just my 2 cents there). That having been said. Try them both!
Now that I have …
Now that I have done Meso One, I can say I love it and it is super hard!
Cathe is bionic!
You are a total …
You are a total liar.
Cathe’s Ab Circuits …
Cathe’s Ab Circuits are great. Well worth the $22.
They are tougher than her previous core or P90X’s workouts.
Weights and Plates is the hardest ab workout I have ever done.
Cedie appears in …
Cedie appears in several Mesos.
She is in all the leg workouts iin Meso One.
Leave me alone.

Leave me alone.
You are not telling the truth and your comments add nothing to this video.
Do not degrade …
Do not degrade Cathe.
Say what you want about me, but leave Cathe alone. She is a wonderful person (yes, I have met her).
She does not deserve your wrath.
Thank you, …
Thank you, Karenbeam. STS is killer and effective.
The music is perfectly synchronized to the workouts.
Cathe has NOT done …
Cathe has NOT done just step videos.
Do your research, you vulgar choad.
.
Any and all of her videos are superior and I refuse to get into a juvenile argument with an unimformed nimrod.
You are mean, jealous and cruel.
Do your freaking research before you speak.
Cathe is way too difficult for you. She would have have your lungs ripped out.
I don’t know why you hate Cathe, but you have serious issues, Dude.
You are an …
You are an uninformed person.
Just try STS. Just try it once.
You are really mean too.
Cathe Friedrich …
Cathe Friedrich rules and STS is the best series I have ever done in my life.
I have all of Cathe, some of Benson’s Firm Classics, and P90X (most of which I sold off to some poor sucker).
Nothing compares to STS.
Nothing
I have made up my …
I have made up my mind.
Horton sucks, Friedrich rules.
I like some of P90X, but you can hardly compare 12 little pathetic workouts to 41!
I use Horton for my active recovery week.
P90X is for Wusses!
Have you even tried …
Have you even tried STS? Nothing she has ever done compares to STS.
You have NO idea of what you are talking about.
Obviously you do not own STS.
cathe friedrich is …
cathe friedrich is one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever seen
Where is my …
Where is my favorite Cathe exerciser, ‘Ceedie??
Cathe looks …
Cathe looks different. Dont know what but…. something changed.
I like abb ripper …
I like abb ripper too. I found that by alternating a core max workout after a cardio or weight workout was a great addition to a workout. Coremax on it’s own, only about 20min each isn’t enough. but working out on a ball doing pike’s, kills me.
Cathe has a core …
Cathe has a core work out 3 workouts actually, I find are better than p-90x core. Yoga-x is great. Too bad Cathe doesn’t have any of that. She is VERY good. So is Tony.
I think P90X’s Core …
I think P90X’s Core Synergists and Yoga X are really good workouts.

You can cancel your order, I think.
Cheers!
Amazing …
Amazing professional AND marketer. Cathe has grown consistently over the years, constantly tweaking and putting the best out there. This is definitely a series I will want to add to my collection.
One other thing — …
One other thing — Cathe and Chris have put their all into this series.
I refuse to say anything negative about this series until I have done it.
These workouts are …
These workouts are not for the faint-hearted. Can’t wait to get them.
