Popsugar: Fat Burning Pilates

This is my first 30 minute workout by Popsugar and I didn't know what to expect. I was intrigued by the title and the little bit of it I watched. A sort of cardio-pilates workout. And I will be honest, I did not expect this to be super hard. Well--it was! This was a very … Continue reading Popsugar: Fat Burning Pilates

Popsugar: Full Body Stretching

Full Body Stretching is another 10 minute workout from Popsugar and led by Anna Renderer. It's a pretty simple and gentle stretching workout, perfect to finish off a more intense cardio, lower body or total body workout. All you need is a mat. You will be stretching your entire body. I used it to finish off … Continue reading Popsugar: Full Body Stretching

GymRa: Tabata Extreme

GymRa is an online personal training subscription type thing. It costs $4.99 a month but they also have a lot of free workout videos on YouTube. I liked the titles of many of them and, after previewing several of the workouts, I decided to give them a try. The first one I tried was Tabata … Continue reading GymRa: Tabata Extreme

Popsugar: Ultimate Bikini Bottom Workout

This little 10 minute workout is different from the first 3 Popsugar workouts I've done so far. I also feel the title--Ultimate Bikini Bottom--is a misnomer. Yes, this workout does include exercises for your glutes, but this workout in no way will give you the "ultimate" bikini bottom. In reality, no 10 minute workout is … Continue reading Popsugar: Ultimate Bikini Bottom Workout

Ripped w/ HIIT & Gym Style Rotation

This is a rotation I have been planning for a while but it took longer than it should have to take shape. One of the things delaying it was/is Cathe Live. All I want to do anymore are Cathe Live workouts. So I decided to incorporate Cathe Live into this rotation. However, that also means … Continue reading Ripped w/ HIIT & Gym Style Rotation

Popsugar: Skinny Jeans Workout

Another fun and excellent 10 minute workout from Popsugar. As usual, I used this as an add on after doing a more intense workout. This morning it was Cathe Live: Bootcamp w/ Step and this workout did an excellent job finishing me off. This workout is metabolic lower body work--cardio and bodyweight strength. This workout … Continue reading Popsugar: Skinny Jeans Workout

Cathe Live: Bootcamp w/ Step

Bootcamp w/ Step is another awesome, fun and effective cardio + strength Cathe Live workout. This workout is set up circuit fashion. There are 8 circuits and each circuit consists of a cardio blast on the step followed by a lower body strength exercise and ending with an upper body strength exercise. The workout ends … Continue reading Cathe Live: Bootcamp w/ Step

Popsugar: Ultimate Inner Thigh Workout

Ultimate Inner Thigh Workout is another 10 minute workout from Popsugar. It is led by Anna Renderer. I am using these 10 minute workouts as add-ons after other workouts. This morning it was Cathe Live: For the Love of Cardio. So I had just finished a fairly intense 44 minute cardio workout. This was a perfect … Continue reading Popsugar: Ultimate Inner Thigh Workout

Cathe Live: For the Love of Cardio

For the Love of Cardio is a very fun Cathe Live workout. She doesn't talk about the title but apparently she is assuming she is collecting everyone's favorite cardio moves into one workout. And maybe she is! It is a fun workout. It is structured into 6 long combos that appear to be theme based. … Continue reading Cathe Live: For the Love of Cardio

Cathe Live: Legs w/ Weights & Stability Ball

Legs w/ Weights & Stability Ball is another tough and excellent lower body workout. This one is along the lines of STS Mesocycle 2's lower body workouts. It is set up in trisets--3 exercises done one right after the other with little rest between. You repeat each triset 3 times. What was really surprising about … Continue reading Cathe Live: Legs w/ Weights & Stability Ball
