Low Impact Cardio HIIT is a short but intense and effective cardio workout from Cathe Live. I really enjoyed this workout. Cathe put together some of my favorite low impact exercises in this workout.

10 Minute Body Transformation, 2nd Edition
A second edition! I was very excited when I saw this. I love Jillian's first 10 Minute Body Transformation. It was very well done and it is one of her workouts I return to more frequently than her others. Since it is set up in approximately 10 minute segments, it's perfect to use as an … Continue reading 10 Minute Body Transformation, 2nd Edition
Svelte U: Workout Two
Workout Two is the second of the Svelte U workouts created by Tracey Mallett. Like Svelte U: Workout One, there are actually three 20 minute workouts on this DVD. So if you purchase Workout One and Workout Two you would get six 20 minute workouts that actually work very nicely together. I did all 3 … Continue reading Svelte U: Workout Two
Ignite by Spri 900 Calorie Burn
900 Calorie Burn is another workout from Ignite by Spri. This one is led by celebrity trainer Ashley Borden. Her little bio on the back of the DVD states she has trained Ryan Gosling and Christina Aquilera. I went to her website and she has also trained 9x UFC Champion Matt Hughes and many others. Impressive. I almost … Continue reading Ignite by Spri 900 Calorie Burn

Cathe Live: Hi-Lo HIIT w/ Step
Another awesome Cathe Live workout. Just like Hi-Lo HIIT Live, this workout is based on Ripped with HIIT series and gives you a "premix" you do not get with the DVDs. And I absolutely love it! These are the kind of premixes I love but we never get on DVD. Just like the other live workout, … Continue reading Cathe Live: Hi-Lo HIIT w/ Step
Svelte U: Workout One
Tracey Mallett has created two new workout DVDs. They are both titled Svelte U. One is Workout One and the other is Workout Two; however they both contain three 20 minute workouts. This is obviously a review of the first DVD. Though it does contain 3 workouts, I did them all in one session, back … Continue reading Svelte U: Workout One
Black Fire
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
Focus 15
Focus 15 contains 3 body weight workouts from Mark Lauren. The "15" in the title indicates the length of the workouts, but they are all longer than 15 minutes, even without the warm up and cool downs, and approx. 30 minutes with those. However, just like in his other workouts, Mark demonstrates every exercise you will … Continue reading Focus 15
