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.

Lift & Shred contains Jillian Michael's only (so far!) pure weight lifting workouts.

Focus: Kickback
