After doing Mark Lauren's EFX and reading his books (You Are Your Own Gym and Body By You), I had to get the rest of his DVDs. This series/program is based on his book with the same title: You Are Your Own Gym or YAYOG for short (he also has an app based on his … Continue reading You Are Your Own Gym (YAYOG)

Mobility RX
Mobility RX is Mark Lauren's newest body weight training workout. The tag for it is "Dynamic flexibility. Postural strength. Move with ease. Live pain free." What does that mean for these workouts? First, they are different from his others that I have done, but no less challenging. I would equate them to painful physical therapy. The exercises … Continue reading Mobility RX
EFX: Postural Bodyweight Training
EFX was created by the master of bodyweight training Mark Lauren. I first discovered him when my daughter started college. She was a home workout buff like her mother and was was worried about how she would manage in college since she doesn't care for the gym environment. One of the many things I got her to help … Continue reading EFX: Postural Bodyweight Training
Bodyweight Dance Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 2)
I honestly did not expect to enjoy this workout as much as I did! I adore Michelle Dozois's new BodyFit 360 series! I have no rhythm and two left feet, so I was certain any workout with the word "dance" in it would end up being shelved after one try. But try it I did … Continue reading Bodyweight Dance Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 2)
Turn Up and Slim Down
Turn Up and Slim Down is Patrick Goudeau's latest workout DVD. It is a cardio and body weight strength training workout broken down into 10 minute segments. So you can do all 6 segments + warm up and cool down for a 69 minute workout or pick and choose to create the workout of your … Continue reading Turn Up and Slim Down
Bodyweight Athletic Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 3)
Bodyweight Athletic Conditioning is Volume 3 in Michelle Dozois's new BodyFit 360 series and it is a toughie! Athletic Conditioning is very different from BodyFit 360 Volume 1. Very athletic and much more cardio, whereas Volume 1 was very PiYo-like. Now, don't get me wrong, these body weight workouts (PiYo and BodyFit 360 Vol 1) … Continue reading Bodyweight Athletic Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 3)
PiYo
PiYo is an interesting concept and one that I actually had zero interest in when it first appeared. However, the more I heard about it, the more intrigued I became. Plus, I really like Chalene Johnson. PiYo is a fusion of yoga and pilates into fluid movement. It is strength + cardio+ flexibility using only your body weight. … Continue reading PiYo
BodyFit 360 (Vol 1)
BodyFit 360 is one of Michelle Dozois new workouts. It came out the same time as Cardio Interval Burn Remix and Cardio Strength Remix. I pre-ordered those two, but at the time, had no interest in BodyFit 360. That has changed. I am about 2 months into Chalene Johnson's PiYo and loving it. It occurred … Continue reading BodyFit 360 (Vol 1)
Weider Ruthless
Weider Ruthless was discovered by accident. Actually, Amazon's practice of "recommending" things they think I might be interested in buying, based on my past purchases, things on my wishlist, things I browse, etc. is a pretty good method to get me to spend $$ as I have purchased several things because of their recommendations. This is … Continue reading Weider Ruthless
Body Weight Blast
Wow! Another winner by Patrick Goudeau and I think this one is my new favorite! It is tough, fun and signature Patrick metabolic strength training. I think this is his best one yet. Don't let the title Body Weight Blast fool you--this is not a body weight only workout. In fact, he uses heavier dumbbells … Continue reading Body Weight Blast
