I mastered Cathe's Power Hour by doing 3 minutes of each body part, then 3 1/2, then 4, then 4 1/2, then the full 5 minutes per body part. I think I did each increment for a week (3x), then moved on to the 30 seconds more. It allowed me to reach a place where I could do the whole workout without ever pushing myself so hard I was miserably sore.

I think those challenges are a great way to move up and you can measure your own progress.

I got really strong doing Cathe’s STS. I didn’t do the 1 rep max before I started I just lifted as heavy as I could but I think the magic of STS was the incremental weight increases. It’s been 3 years since I did STS and I feel like I’ve held onto a lot of that strength even though I don’t lift heavy too often. It also made me think that I could do whatever workout I wanted. Sometimes just thinking that you can tackle a workout makes it more doable.

I have been trying to add in more of this type of workout lately and making sure that I hit each muscle group. I am really hoping that I can avoid buying a new set (such as STS, Chalean Extreme or P90X) as I have plenty of workouts already. I have a bunch of Cathe, KCM and Michelle D.
