Thanks so much for the ideas.
I have decided to start with NROL for W, and then progress to STS. I am not sure about workouts that will take longer than an hour. I may drop out by the time I get to that phase of the program....let me see how I do. Or I should say "we do" as I am making this decision for 2 more people who work out with me. We stock weights at my home, so if I pick STS, we will all need to buy more weights or handwrite the workouts and go to the gym (which is just lift ride away in my own condo!). The idea to go straight to STS 2 is a great one (thank you) but there is plenty of time before I get to that decision. Perhaps there will be a new system by then. |

Set A - All 3 sets with a 1 minute break in between A1 - Flat Bench Chest Press A2 - Flat Bench Flye Set B B1 - Incline Bench Press B2 - Incline Flye Set C - Giant Set C1 - Shoulder Press C2 - Side Lateral C3 - Rear Flye Set D - Giant Set D1 - Flat Bench Tricep Extension D2 - Overheads D3 - Kickbacks I start with Cathe and then either skip around or pause, do the next exercise, then hit play for the rest period. It doesn't take a lot of work to do this and I can finish in about 1/2 the time. Then I add on my KB finisher or functional ab work. BJ Gaddour has a ton of great stuff for this. When I finished the above workout last week, I added on BJ's Kettlebell Weightloss Wheel Workout A which is a 10 minute finisher I love that incorporates swings for 30 seconds with basic kb moves for the other 30 seconds for 10 minutes. Those 2 workouts, plus a stretch and I was done in about an hour. In the evenings, I try to do at least 20 minutes of yoga. Because I haven't already worked out for an hour plus in the morning, this doesn't seem overwhelming to me. Good luck!

What about Cathes Xtrain series? Burn sets should allow you to lift heavier. And it also isn't as long as STS. I like Xtrain better then STS. STS creates a dread factor for me for some reason. Probably the length and all the equipment changes.
