Les Mills Pump is a fitness program by Beachbody. I have wanted it for a very long time but it was ungodly expensive (at least in my opinion). It is no longer offered on their main site so I cannot give the exact price, but it used to cost around $180 (+S&H which is around … Continue reading Les Mills Pump

Tapout XT 2
Tapout XT 2 is Tapout XT 1 kicked up a notch. They are both similar--same concept, same trainer (Mike Karpenko)--so for more information on the Tapout XT workouts in general, see Tapout XT 1's review (or at least the first part, before the workout breakdowns). As mentioned in that review, I have been wanting these workouts … Continue reading Tapout XT 2
Ripped with HIIT: Lift it Hit it Back, Biceps & Shoulders
For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. The way some of the workouts within the Ripped with HIIT series/program are titled is a little confusing to me. The one I am referring to in this post is Lift It Hit It: Back, Biceps & Shoulders. Within this series/program, you … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: Lift it Hit it Back, Biceps & Shoulders
Ripped with HIIT: Lift It Hit It Chest, Triceps & Shoulders
For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. Lift It Hit It Chest, Triceps & Shoulders humbled me. That workout was brutal. This was the final workout that I tried in the Ripped with HIIT program and I apparently saved the killer for last. I found a lot of the … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: Lift It Hit It Chest, Triceps & Shoulders
Ripped with HIIT
Ripped with HIIT is Cathe Friedrich's latest fitness program. Like Xtrain, it can be bought as a program (and you get all of the workout DVDs in a clamshell case) or each workout can be purchased individually. So I am reviewing this in basically the same way I did Xtrain. I will do the program … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT
Kitchen Sink Conditioning
I bought this workout DVD partially for the title alone. Kitchen Sink Conditioning. What an odd and somewhat humorous title! And since it is by Patrick Goudeau, it deserved further evaluation. I did more research and, just as it sounds, it is based on the idiom "everything but the kitchen sink"--as in, this workout uses … Continue reading Kitchen Sink Conditioning
EFX: Postural Bodyweight Training
EFX was created by the master of bodyweight training Mark Lauren. I first discovered him when my daughter started college. She was a home workout buff like her mother and was was worried about how she would manage in college since she doesn't care for the gym environment. One of the many things I got her to help … Continue reading EFX: Postural Bodyweight Training
Body Beast
My review posts have slowed down, but that is because I have been doing the Body Beast program. I'm doing the entire program, so this review will not post until I am finished. First, what is Body Beast? Body Beast is a Beachbody Fitness Program. Beachbody's website describes it as the most advanced, muscle defining, … Continue reading Body Beast
30 Minutes to Fitness: Muscle Up/Lift 2B Fit
Kelly Coffey-Meyer just came out with 2 new workouts in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series: Home Gym Intervals and Muscle Up/Lift 2B Fit. I pre-ordered them both and did them as soon as I received them (I was actually out of town when they arrived, so I didn't get to do them as soon … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Muscle Up/Lift 2B Fit
NYC: Body Sculpting Workout
Since I am so enamored of Kelly Coffey-Meyer’s 30 Minutes to Fitness (30MF) workouts and I loved her earlier (not 30MF) Step Boxing workout, I decided I need to try some of the workouts she created prior to 30MF. Enter NYC, which stands for New You Coming. It was released in 2006. I really, really … Continue reading NYC: Body Sculpting Workout
