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

Pretty Fierce: Weight Loss
**Note: since I am doing two related systems together, the first few paragraphs in both reviews are similar. I have come across a lot of new programs and trainers lately. Lindsay Brin is the latest. She has a DVD series titled MIF/Mom's Into Fitness. Yeah, I'm a mom, but mine are out of the house, grown … Continue reading Pretty Fierce: Weight Loss
Pretty Fierce: Lean Out
**Note: since I am doing two related systems together the first few paragraphs in both reviews are similar. Pretty Fierce: Lean Out is the other fitness program I purchased by new-to-me trainer Lindsay Brin. She has a DVD series titled MIF/Mom's Into Fitness. I bought two of her programs, Pretty Fierce: Weight Loss and this one because … Continue reading Pretty Fierce: Lean Out
10 Minute Torchers
10 Minute Torchers was discovered completely by accident. First, I came across a forum post about a Men's Health workout series called The Anarchy Workout. I was curious so I did some research on it. When I decided to spring for it, I was offered 10 Minute Torchers at the checkout. So, of course, before … Continue reading 10 Minute Torchers
Total Body Stretching
I love stretching. I just do. It feels so good to stretch long and deep. I wish I loved yoga as much as I loved stretching in general. I'm a big fan of Cathe workouts for many reasons but one of the many is that she never neglects a good stretch at the end of … Continue reading Total Body Stretching
Kettlebell Dynamics
Kettlebell Dynamics is an interesting collection of kettlebell combos. I'm not really sure what to think about it. Amy Bento is a new-to-me trainer who I have, so far, really liked. This workout however, is rather humdrum. I'm a little worried now, too. I loved her two pure strength training workouts so much (Slo-Mo Strength … Continue reading Kettlebell Dynamics
Ripped with HIIT: HIIT Upper Body Circuit
For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. (Also, these reviews are being posted out of order--this was the first workout I did after receiving the series, but it is the last one that will post--that is why they read a little "off.") It arrived! It finally arrived! Cathe's new series/program … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: HIIT Upper Body Circuit
Ripped with HIIT: Low Impact HIIT
For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. Had I come to this workout by itself, without having purchased and done other Ripped with HIIT workouts as part of a rotation, I might have been a bit disappointed in this workout, primarily because it has the word "HIIT" in the … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: Low Impact HIIT
Ripped with HIIT: HIIT Lower Body Circuit
For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. OMG. O.M.G. I know I have already mentioned it in other reviews, but Cathe has really outdone herself with this new series/program. HIIT Lower Body Circuit is incredibly intense and advanced. It kicked my butt! This workout alternates lower body strength work with very … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: HIIT Lower Body Circuit
Ripped with HIIT: Plyo HIIT
For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. Plyo HIIT contains two HIIT workouts and holy cow--Cathe has really kicked it up a notch! These were super tough and super intense! I always expect intensity with Cathe, but wow! I am on my first week of my Ripped with HIIT … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: Plyo HIIT
