Blast, Barre & Bands is another unique live workout that you will not find anything quite like it on DVD. I didn't know what to expect when coming to it, but ended up loving it. First, the warm up seemed shorter than most Cathe Live workouts (and it is a bit shorter, but not by … Continue reading Cathe Live: Blast, Barre & Bands

Cathe Live: HIIT Fit Circuit
HIIT Fit Circuit is an excellent metabolic strength + HIIT workout. I really enjoyed it. However, from the way Cathe described it at the beginning of the workout, I was expecting there to be more of a strength focus but the strength work is primarily metabolic--using dumbbells to keep the heart rate elevated. Which is … Continue reading Cathe Live: HIIT Fit Circuit
Physique 57: Classic 57 Minute Full Body Workout
This was a very tough workout. I was able to execute every move but there was some serious muscle burn going on! The lower body section was long, hard and painful and so was the core. The easiest part was the upper body segment. I got this workout for 50 cents used. I am really … Continue reading Physique 57: Classic 57 Minute Full Body Workout
Cathe Live: Cross Train Lower Body
Wow--this was a more intense Cathe Live workout than I expected. For some reason I did not expect this to be so cardio intensive (even tho she says there is cardio in the workout description on her forum). It is strength + cardio and it is also contrast training. Overall more challenging than I expected. … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cross Train Lower Body
Targeted Training Boot Camp
As I mentioned in my review of Element: Cardio & Conditioning Yoga, while browsing the workout DVDs at the library I noticed they not only had new workouts but workouts that had just been released in December 2015. Tracy Anderson's Targeted Training Boot Camp was one of them. I really like Tracy Anderson's lower body … Continue reading Targeted Training Boot Camp
Method Express
The Method Express contains six approximately 10 minute workouts by Tracy Anderson. I chose to try this because I am a big fan of Tracy's lower body work but she never chapters. This actually has things broken down into 10 minute blocks--so it is similar to chaptering. I can go to whatever body part I … Continue reading Method Express
Physique 57: Express 30 Minute Full Body Workout
Express 30 Minute Full Body Workout is another excellent Physique 57 workout. I wasn't expecting this one to hit my lower body as hard as Thigh & Seat Booster, but it did! It fried my lower body! It isn't really the total body workout it claims to be tho. It does hit your core nicely … Continue reading Physique 57: Express 30 Minute Full Body Workout
Physique 57: Thigh & Seat Booster
I really wanted to try Physique 57 workouts after doing Xtend Barre: Lean & Chiseled because it was recommended to me as being similar. I loved Xtend Barre and was very disappointed to discover there were no more by the trainer and that it wasn't a series. I was disappointed that my public library did … Continue reading Physique 57: Thigh & Seat Booster
Pure Barre: Lowry Lofts 1
Lowry Lofts 1 is another library check out. The library has a total of 4 Pure Barre workouts: 16th Street 1 & 2, and Lowry Lofts 1 & 2. I liked 16th Street 2 and found it challenging enough that I wanted to try the others--until I saw the prices! These are expensive workout DVDs … Continue reading Pure Barre: Lowry Lofts 1
Cathe Live: Kickbox & Barre
Kickbox & Barre is another Cathe Live workout that I found less then stellar. I really wanted to love it. I mean, I adore kickboxing and barre is a new-to-me type of workout that I really enjoy. I was expecting something along the lines of Kick Max--but shorter, so I could actually fit the entire … Continue reading Cathe Live: Kickbox & Barre
