…so I do it at home
The Firm was the series that originally got me addicted to home DVD workouts. They challenged me but didn't kill me. I haven't done them in many years however because my fitness level has increased and they stopped challenging me. However, recently I've become a little nostalgic and have been wanting to revisit not only … Continue reading The Firm: Advanced Cardio Blast
Hi-Lo Cardio & Core is an interesting workout. I guess I liked it, but I'm not positive I will ever return to it. Maybe by the time I finish writing this review I will have decided. It was a good workout, but maybe not as intense as some of her other cardio workouts. The title … Continue reading Cathe Live: Hi-Lo Cardio & Core
Quick Fix Kickboxing plus 100 Reps Boxing Bonus Challenge plus Step & Weight Drills--that title is quite a mouthful. And an awesome workout! I loved it! When Cathe announced it, I wanted to do it right away, but I have these rotations I do... and I was in the middle of one... but I managed … Continue reading Cathe Live: Quick Fix Kickboxing plus 100 Reps Boxing Bonus Challenge plus Step & Weight Drills
I found this Cathe Live workout very tough this morning. I gave blood yesterday and didn't feel well afterward. Then this morning, I did Ripped with HIIT Lift It Hit It Chest, Shoulders & Triceps. I finished my workout off w/ High Intensity Cardio Step. And I struggled. So there was a lot going on--I … Continue reading Cathe Live: High Intensity Cardio Step
Popsugar Fitness has a lot of free workouts on YouTube. They are all of varying lengths: 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes and even a few 40 minute workouts. I was pretty excited to discover that I can easily access these via my Apple TV. Due to their lengths, they are the perfect "add ons" to finish … Continue reading Popsugar: 10 Minute At-Home Cardio Sweat
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
Cardio Circuit Challenge Express is a short but sweet little metabolic weight training workout. It alternates between strength work and cardio, but overall is very cardio heavy. Use heavy enough weights and you might feel you got a decent total body workout, too. I came at this workout as a cardio workout so I used the same weights … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Circuit Challenge Express
Cardio Band Blast w/ Weights is another great cardio workout from Cathe Live. It is intense, varied and uses lots of props. It is a lot of fun, too. You get a very long warm up, then you go into each segment based on the prop you use and that is how I will break … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Band Blast with Weights
Hi-Lo Cardio Kickboxing is another great cardio workout from Cathe. But it wasn't quite what I was expecting. When I see "Hi-Lo" I am anticipating an interval type workout where we alternate between low impact and high impact moves--maybe even some HIIT level work. That's not the way this workout plays out. The first 20 … Continue reading Cathe Live: Hi-Lo Cardio Kickboxing
***Update--I just posted this review today, but I already received a comment (below) giving me information I did not have before I posted it. Apparently, everything on the YouTube BeFit channel is free! I had no idea. Since this was posted before I had that information, I am not changing the review post, just adding … Continue reading Be Fit in 30 Extreme
