Wow! Heavy Volume Glute Lift w/ Squat Jumps might be the best glute workout I have ever done. It is definitely one of the most focused. My glutes were burning by the middle of the first set!

Fit Body by Julia: PHAT Workout
This PHAT workout is the first workout that made me take notice of Fit Body by Julia--and it was a long time ago! At least a year ago. I saved it to a playlist and never got around to doing it.

Freestyle Training: Back/Shoulders/Butt
Michele Lumadue is a new-to-me trainer who was recommended to me by a reader. I perused her workouts and at first was resistant due to the length of them (most are well over an hour long--pushing 2 hours--and many are over 2 hours long!). I do not have that kind of time in the mornings … Continue reading Freestyle Training: Back/Shoulders/Butt

Legs (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio
Leg (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio was an incredible workout. I loved it! This is the second workout I've done by Yvette Bachman and it feels like I am rediscovering Cathe (and Cathe Live) for the first time. I am not implying that she creates Cathe-like workouts. Yvette's workouts are her own creation … Continue reading Legs (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio

Fit Body by Julia: Full Body Supersets & Tabata HIIT
This is the 3rd Fit by Julia workout I have done. And wow. It was killer. Brutal and grueling but I wasn't counting the minutes like I was when I did No Equipment Crazy Cardio.

JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Dance Sculpt
Cardio Dance Sculpt is was a surprisingly excellent metabolic strength workout. I did not know what to expect but with the word "dance" in the title, I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did.
