Thanks Coach Sonnon and Dr. Kathleen for helping us set up this forum.
I am excited about the synergy of Circular Strength Training along with good nutrition per Kathleen DesMaison's programs.
In case you never saw what amazed me about the synergy of Scott and Kathleen's programs:
Kathleen: how you eat defines how you feel
Scott: how you move defines how you feel
Kathleen: baby steps and getting better and better
Scott: baby steps and incremental progression
Kathleen: healing happens when you connect to community
Scott: we are alone in this together, in our tribe
Kathleen: I am a warrior for my tribe
Scott: I am passionate about circular strength training for our tribe
Kathleen: your birthright is already there, just obscured by
whites/sugars
Scott: your birthright is already there, just obscured by
tension/learned stiffness
Kathleen: nothing is lost, you can reframe
Scott: nothing is lost, you can reset your Central Nervous System

And here's my off-the-cuff report after 6 months with CST:
The fun factor and variety are out of this world. My honeymoon is not over even after 6 months.
I did start with the 5# clubs. I asked for a beginner program on their forum and got instruction on how to start safely.
It is amazing looking back. The coaches gave the minutest level of detail…
I started with 5# at full choke and now can do 10# no choke (heaviest) with some exercises.
I feel like I totally got my metabolic furnace going again. I can lose 6 pounds a month with ease and a feeling of control.
As for strength development, it is increasing all over. I completely healed my hinky left shoulder with the clubs and mobility.
The lower body is stronger and flexible. As I mentioned, I can do rock bottom squats (multiple) with weights and it is amazing to read in my own logs that my knees started out stiff. I had honestly forgotten.
My core is so much better from the unique tightening you have to do to swing the clubs and change direction under load.
My balance is much better. I can do the Four Corner Balance Drillon each foot for 20 seconds through each of 5 positions My grip even went through the roof and bagpipe playing (of all things!) is crisper and masterful sounding. I had teachers tell me to work on grip but couldn't find anything do-able…
Best of all, I feel like and am carrying myself like the athlete I am becoming. It is mahvelous dahling...
Did you ever see Chariots of Fire where the one guy runs from having to prove himself and the other guy runs out of joy because it pleases the God who made him so fast?
Well these Circular Strength Training guys are all about physical culture for the joy in it.
