The Fit Tower is a piece of exercise equipment from Cathe Friedrich. Though Cathe created and leads these workouts you cannot buy it from Cathe's website. You can get it from Amazon or from a special Fit Tower website. I never expected to buy the Fit Tower. A long time ago Cathe had a different Fit … Continue reading Fit Tower

Focus: Power Up
Power Up is another 30 minute workout from Tracie Long in her Focus series and I did not enjoy it at all. I actually found it a very odd workout and I don't really understand the point of her Focus series now. From what I can see online (and what I have checked out from … Continue reading Focus: Power Up
Focus: Lift Higher
Lift Higher is the first workout in Tracie Long's Focus series. From what she says in her intro, it appears she originally created 4 thirty minute workouts in the Focus series and if you use all 4 of them in a week, you will take care of everything. So far I have also done Kickback … Continue reading Focus: Lift Higher
Jessica Smith Beginner Rotation
I have already created a beginner rotation but this one is a little different. It is made up of Jessica Smith only workouts. The reason I created both of these rotations is due to cancer treatment. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2018. I had a mastectomy in March, had chemo from April to … Continue reading Jessica Smith Beginner Rotation
Walk On: 10 Minute Quick Walk Mix
10 Minute Quick Walk Mix is another collection of short walks from Jessica Smith. It contains 6 approx. 10 minute walks + one 12 minute stretch. 3 of the walks are strength walks and 3 of the walks are cardio walks. I love Jessica's walking workouts in all lengths but, other than her YouTube workouts, … Continue reading Walk On: 10 Minute Quick Walk Mix
Lift & Shred
Lift & Shred contains Jillian Michael's only (so far!) pure weight lifting workouts. Most of her workouts are metabolic workouts--cardio + strength workouts done in fast circuits so that you cannot lift heavy but get intense cardio. I was very excited when this DVD came out but I had also just found out I had breast … Continue reading Lift & Shred
Focus: Kickback
I have only done one other Tracie Long workout: Figure 30: Hips, and I did not like it at all so I never bothered with any other Tracie Long workouts. But my library carries a lot of Tracie Long workouts. Every time I go to the library, I always peruse their workout DVD selection. Well, two … Continue reading Focus: Kickback
The Firm/Zip Trainer: Firm & Cardio
Firm & Cardio are the deluxe add on workouts available at the time the Zip Trainer program came out (see that review for more info on what a Zip Trainer is). This deluxe add on came with a 7 pound core ball but the core ball is no longer available, only the DVDs. Firm & … Continue reading The Firm/Zip Trainer: Firm & Cardio
30 Minutes to Fitness: Sculpting RX
Sculpting RX is one of Kelly Coffey-Meyer's newest offerings in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series. The other DVD that came out at the same time is Step Boxing 2. Sculpting RX contains two 30 minute strength workouts. In the intro, Kelly says that workout #1 involves heavier weights and uses supersets. Workout #2 is … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Sculpting RX
30 Minutes to Fitness: Step Boxing 2
Step Boxing 2 is the newest offering from Kelly Coffey-Meyer in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series. I have been looking forward to doing Kelly's newest workouts for months but life circumstances kept me from trying them. But I have been feeling great for weeks now, so it was time to finally give them a … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Step Boxing 2
