Reviewing a book on my blog is a new thing for me, but since this is a fitness blog and 15 Minutes to Fitness is a fitness book, I decided it was a good idea. So this may be the first of several fitness book reviews since I not only purchase lots of workout DVDs, … Continue reading 15 Minutes to Fit by Zuzka Light

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
Burn at the Barre: The Advanced Workout
Burn at the Barre: The Advanced Workout is another library check out. I have already done Burn at the Barre (intermediate level I guess?) and they also have a Beginner level workout. The first one I did (the subtitle for that one is Total Dancer Body Workout for all levels) was 62 minutes long and … Continue reading Burn at the Barre: The Advanced Workout
Precision Toning
I decided to try one more of Tracy Anderson's offerings (for now). I have zero interest in her cardio workouts, but the reviews for this collection stated it is the most focused of all of her workouts. She actually keeps track of how many reps you do and you do the same amount of reps … Continue reading Precision Toning
Exhale: Core Fusion Barre Basics
The full title of this workout is Exhale Core Fusion Barre Basics for Beginners. I chose this workout because, in spite of the word "beginner" in the title, it got some impressive reviews. One in particular swayed me. She posted the review in May of 2013 then updated it in August of 2013. She had … Continue reading Exhale: Core Fusion Barre Basics
Burn at the Barre
Burn at the Barre is the final workout I scheduled for my barre week. However, it is not the last! I enjoyed these workouts so much that I checked out two more from the library today but I am not sure when I will get to those. Burn at the Barre is a total body … Continue reading Burn at the Barre
Xtend Barre: Lean & Chiseled
I love this workout! Of all of the barre workouts I’ve done so far this week, Xtend Barre: Lean & Chiseled is my favorite. It is an excellent total body workout that is so fast-paced you get some cardio, too. I did not find any of the moves too fast to do with good form … Continue reading Xtend Barre: Lean & Chiseled
The Perfect Design: Level III Advanced
When it comes to Tracy Anderson I always seem to have a lot to say. After doing The Perfect Design Level II and The Method Mat Workout I felt compelled to sample her advanced offerings. In Level II and The Mat Workout I thought the lower body work was excellent and I also liked the … Continue reading The Perfect Design: Level III Advanced
Element: Barre Conditioning
This is my Barre week. I checked out a bunch of barre workouts from the library to sample and this was my first. It will not be the first barre review to post, but that is because there are two workouts on this DVD and at the time of this writing, I have only done one … Continue reading Element: Barre Conditioning
