I loved Element: Daily Yoga so much that I wanted to try more of Element's offerings. I went to the library and checked out AM & PM Yoga plus two more Element workouts (a barre and a ballet conditioning workout). First, though this workout was filmed very similarly to Daily Yoga, I did not like … Continue reading Element: AM & PM Yoga for beginners

The Firm: Power Yoga
I came across The Firm: Power Yoga while investigating all of my old workout DVDs I've stored in boxes in my closet. I was actually looking for a different yoga DVD I remembered owning (but now cannot find, so I must have gotten rid of it). I had forgotten even buying a Firm yoga workout, … Continue reading The Firm: Power Yoga
Element: Daily Yoga
Trying out Element: Daily Yoga is an experiment of mine. First, I want to try more yoga and barre workouts, but since I have yet to fall in love with either practice, I don't like spending money just to sample them (and then not like them). Enter the library. I don't know why it never … Continue reading Element: Daily Yoga
Figure 30: Hips
Figure 30: Hips was purchased in my attempt to take better care of myself. Yes, I exercise every day and push myself hard, but sometimes I think that is a problem--I am focused on the wrong things. It's not all about how heavy I can deadlift and how high I can tuck jump--there is also … Continue reading Figure 30: Hips
30 Minutes to Fitness: Your Healthy Back
Your Health Back is a Kelly Coffey-Meyer workout I never thought I'd purchase. The point of this workout is to create and maintain a strong and healthy back. Considering the fact I do heavy barbell rows and deadlifts I didn't think I needed something like this. And I didn't actually purchase the DVD for myself. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Your Healthy Back

Pretty Fierce: Weight Loss
**Note: since I am doing two related systems together, the first few paragraphs in both reviews are similar. I have come across a lot of new programs and trainers lately. Lindsay Brin is the latest. She has a DVD series titled MIF/Mom's Into Fitness. Yeah, I'm a mom, but mine are out of the house, grown … Continue reading Pretty Fierce: Weight Loss
Pretty Fierce: Lean Out
**Note: since I am doing two related systems together the first few paragraphs in both reviews are similar. Pretty Fierce: Lean Out is the other fitness program I purchased by new-to-me trainer Lindsay Brin. She has a DVD series titled MIF/Mom's Into Fitness. I bought two of her programs, Pretty Fierce: Weight Loss and this one because … Continue reading Pretty Fierce: Lean Out
Edge Booty Extreme 2
I discovered this workout system from Oxygen Magazine--they sent me a sales email. I was immediately intrigued. I am getting ready to start another round of STS in September and I am planning on adding additional glute focus. I have already tried The Butt Bible for that purpose and loved it, so I decided I … Continue reading Edge Booty Extreme 2

She is also the creator of the Fighter Diet which is strength training and diet guides for bodybuilding and fat loss. I decided to get this because on my next round of STS (starting in September) I want to … Continue reading The Butt Bible
