I discovered this workout when perusing fitness forums. I vaguely remember some contest run by both Men's Health and Women's Health about choosing the next "top trainer." The winner got to create a workout series. That's the last I heard of it. Well, as it turns out, The Anarchy Workout was created by the male … Continue reading The Anarchy Workout

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
30 Minutes to Fitness: Cardio Pump
Cardio Pump is Kelly Coffey-Meyer's other new 30 Minutes to Fitness workout DVD. The other one she just released is Lean Body Circuits. I love them both but this one is my favorite of the two. Cardio Pump contains two approximately 30 minute workouts. One is strength training done "pyramid" style and one is cardio … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Cardio Pump
30 Minutes to Fitness: Lean Body Circuits
Kelly Coffey-Meyer's new workouts arrived! I couldn't wait to try them out. The trailers for both of them look awesome! The other new workout DVD is Cardio Pump--that review should be posting early next week. Lean Body Circuits is very similar to Circuit Burn which is one of my all time favorite workouts by Kelly. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Lean Body Circuits
Jillian Michaels BodyShred
I have been very impatiently awaiting Jillian's BodyShred program! And now that I own it, I look at it with some trepidation. The trailer for it looks scary hard. But I am up for the challenge! BodyShred is the next step after Body Revolution. Body Revolution had 3 stages--beginner, intermediate and advanced. And the advanced … Continue reading Jillian Michaels BodyShred
Yoga Meltdown
Yoga Meltdown is Jillian Michaels' first yoga offering back in 2010. I bought it for my daughter and never actually did it myself--until now. I loved her Yoga Inferno, so I've been meaning to give this one a try for a while. Now that I've done it, I love it, too. And it also shows … Continue reading Yoga Meltdown
Kettlebell Kickboxing: Scorcher Series
I was a bit hesitant to do these workouts after doing Kettlebell Kickboxing: The Body Series. Scorcher and The Body Series are both created by Dasha Libin and I wasn't thrilled with The Body Series. It had a few good workouts but overall it was beginner level, I didn't like Dasha as trainer, I felt the program was … Continue reading Kettlebell Kickboxing: Scorcher Series
Iron Core Kettlebell
Iron Core Kettlebell is a neat collection of Sarah Lurie kettlebell workouts I got on Amazon for a great price. It is actually 4 separate workout DVDs that were originally sold separately: Kettlebells the Iron Core Way Volume 1 (currently $47.75), Kettlebells the Iron Core Way Volume 2 (currently $14.91 used, new $79), Iron Core Warrior (currently … Continue reading Iron Core Kettlebell
Shred-It With Weights
Shred-It With Weights is Jillian Michaels one and only kettlebell workout. I have had it for a long time. I did it once a long time ago. I don't remember much about it except I didn't like it. I don't remember why. It is still on my workout shelf with all of my other Jillian … Continue reading Shred-It With Weights
