Before my mastectomy I dug out some of the workouts I used while rehabilitating after my heels were crushed 10 years ago. The 2-Week Turn Around workouts were part of my rehab. There are two DVDs--a cardio and a strength DVD. Both DVDs contain multiple short workouts that you can do alone or put them … Continue reading 2-Week Turn Around: Cardio

Low Impact Step + Total Body Sculpting
After doing the two easy Cathe workouts I've had laying around for years (Basic Step and High Step Circuit) I decided to buy her other beginner level workouts that I'd seen but not bothered with. Cathe doesn't have a ton of beginner level workouts but she does have a few and now I own all … Continue reading Low Impact Step + Total Body Sculpting
Walk On: Walk Off Belly Fat
Walk Off Belly Fat is part of Jessica Smith's Walk On series. On this DVD, Jessica has 3 workouts plus a warm up and a cool down. You can do everything individually or Jessica has a premix menu that combines some of the workouts and lists them by Days (Day 1-5) so you have your workout … Continue reading Walk On: Walk Off Belly Fat
Beginner Shred
Yet another workout DVD I never thought I would purchase--Jillian Michael's Beginner Shred. I love Jillian Michaels' workouts but they are too much for me right now, so I decided it was time to give this a try. This DVD consists of three approx. 25 minute workouts that become progressively harder, so Workout #1 is … Continue reading Beginner Shred
Barlates: Bodyweight Basics Lower
I thought, by the title (Bodyweight Basics Lower), this might be more my speed. I don't have a problem with Linda's Beginner Interval workouts right now, but her Endurance 90 Lower killed me. I thought--maybe this will be easier than Endurance 90 Lower. And it probably is easier. But chemo is really tearing me down … Continue reading Barlates: Bodyweight Basics Lower
Cathe’s Basic Step
Just like High Step Circuit, when I purchased my club step this DVD was included. I am not an advanced stepper but normally I prefer very intense cardio. So, like High Step Circuit, this DVD was just collecting dust. But due to my new circumstances of needing easier workouts, I decided it was time to finally try … Continue reading Cathe’s Basic Step
Barlates: Beginner Intervals: Ramp It Up
Beginner Intervals: Ramp It Up is the fourth workout in Linda Wooldridge's Beginner Interval series. The other 3 workouts are Old School Aerobics, Compound Moves and Cardio Sculpt. I love all of these workouts but I think Old School Aerobics is still my favorite. Ramp It Up, as indicated by the title, is a bit … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals: Ramp It Up
JessicaSmithTV: Lower Body: Hips & Glutes Focus
This is a great little lower body workout from Jessica Smith--and free on YouTube! I did it after doing one of Jessica's 15 minute DVD cardio walks and it seemed like it actually worked my lower body very well. I was definitely getting some burn in my glutes. Peanut is there for the entire workout, … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Lower Body: Hips & Glutes Focus
Walk On: 15 Minute Fast Fat Blasts
I bought a bunch of Walk On collections by Jessica Smith to help get me through chemo and yet I keep going back to the same ones--5 Fat Burning Miles and 21 Day Weight Loss Plan. I decided it was time to crack open a few of the others I purchased. So 15 Minute Fast … Continue reading Walk On: 15 Minute Fast Fat Blasts
Walk On: 21 Day Weight Loss Plan
Walk On: 21 Day Weight Loss Plan is a workout program from Jessica Smith for beginners. Because I am currently undergoing chemo, I purchased quite a few of Jessica's Walk On DVDs/programs. I need workouts at this level on hand to get me through the rough days during chemo. And this program worked perfectly for that. Though I … Continue reading Walk On: 21 Day Weight Loss Plan
