I remember when Bob Harper first announced the Black Fire fitness program. I was so excited! Then I found out it would not be offered on DVD. You have to subscribe to Daily Burn and stream it. I was not only very disappointed but I assumed I would never try it unless it was eventually put on … Continue reading Black Fire

Metabolic DVD Rotation
Here is a second metabolic rotation but this time I went with the DVD only structure since many people do not want to subscribe to Cathe Live. I went into a lot more detail about my purpose in creating a metabolic rotation in the intro to the metabolic rotation that includes Cathe Live workouts so I … Continue reading Metabolic DVD Rotation
Metabolic Rotation (DVDs + Cathe Live)
This is a rotation I have been planning to create and do for a very long time but the concept was overwhelming, considering all of the workouts I own. I have a lot of excellent ones. And then there is Cathe Live which is full of excellent metabolic workouts! The object of this rotation is … Continue reading Metabolic Rotation (DVDs + Cathe Live)
Strong & Sweaty: PHA Training
Of all of Cathe's new workouts in the Strong & Sweaty Series I was most excited about this one (with Total Body Giant Sets a close second). First let me explain what PHA Training is. It stands for Peripheral Heart Action Training. Cathe defines it as: "You'll alternate from lower body to upper body with … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: PHA Training
Strong & Sweaty: Bootcamp
Another bootcamp workout from Cathe. I love bootcamp workouts so I was looking forward to this one. I love her Boot Camp Body Blast and her original Bootcamp workout, as well as her Cathe Live bootcamp workouts. The ICE Boot Camp Circuit workout was a bit of a disappointment for me because it was so easy … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: Bootcamp
No More Trouble Zones
I have had this workout a very long time. I have done it before, too, but oddly, I remembered very little about it. It has been that long since I did it. I probably purchased it as soon as it was released in 2009, did it a few times and for some reason moved on. I did … Continue reading No More Trouble Zones
Cathe Live: Hooked on Legs
Hooked on Legs is another intense and effective lower body workout from Cathe. And she has so many of them! It is really hard to choose which one I want to do--especially now that I think I've done nearly every single one of her Live lower body workouts (except the most recent one). In this workout … Continue reading Cathe Live: Hooked on Legs
Cathe Live: Triset Legs
Wow! This is a tough and effective lower body workout. And super intense! This worked me hard. According to my Fitbit I was in my peak heart rate nearly 1/3 of this strength workout. And it felt like it. I was drenched in sweat by the end. Now, I did lift heavier than Cathe on … Continue reading Cathe Live: Triset Legs
30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Design
Kelly Coffey-Meyer recently created two new DVDs in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series: Body Design and Meltdown. Body Design is a whole new approach to her 30 minute workouts and I love it. Rather than two 30 minute workouts and a bunch of premixes like Kelly's other DVDs contain, this DVD contains six segments … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Design
30 Minutes to Fitness: Meltdown
More workouts from Kelly Coffey-Meyer! These are of course auto-buys for me and I pre-ordered them as soon as she announced them. I received them on Saturday and restructured my week to do them. She produced two DVDs in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series and this is the first one I sampled: Meltdown. The … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Meltdown
