Another excellent total body cardio + strength workout from Cathe Live. This one is set up in 7 rounds or circuits. Each round starts with a cardio move then moves on to strength training. Each round works both the upper and the lower body and sometimes also gives you a compound/4 limb move. Overall, very … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body HIIT

You Are Your Own Gym Volume 2 (YAYOG-2)
Mark Lauren came out with another body weight strength training program based on his book You Are Your Own Gym (YAYOG). I love everything Mark Lauren creates so I snapped this up as soon as I saw it. Volume 2 is set up just like his first DVD YAYOG program. The program has 3 levels: … Continue reading You Are Your Own Gym Volume 2 (YAYOG-2)
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
The Booty Barre : Beginner’s & Beyond
I'm a big fan of Tracey Mallett's workouts but I put off purchasing this one because of the subtitle: Beginners & Beyond. I am not advanced in the barre realm but I also don't want a beginner workout. But the more I read about it the more I decided I might like it anyway. The … Continue reading The Booty Barre : Beginner’s & Beyond
Lose the Belly Flab
Lose the Belly Flab is another new-to-me workout by Tracey Mallet. I decided to get this one because she mentioned it in Get Your Body Back. She tells you to use the two workouts together. So I checked this one out and though it is core focused it also has lower body work, so I … Continue reading Lose the Belly Flab
Strong & Sweaty: PHA Training
Of all of Cathe's new workouts in the Strong & Sweaty Series I was most excited about this one (with Total Body Giant Sets a close second). First let me explain what PHA Training is. It stands for Peripheral Heart Action Training. Cathe defines it as: "You'll alternate from lower body to upper body with … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: PHA Training
Strong & Sweaty: Bootcamp
Another bootcamp workout from Cathe. I love bootcamp workouts so I was looking forward to this one. I love her Boot Camp Body Blast and her original Bootcamp workout, as well as her Cathe Live bootcamp workouts. The ICE Boot Camp Circuit workout was a bit of a disappointment for me because it was so easy … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: Bootcamp
Strong & Sweaty: Cardio Slam
Cardio Slam is a pure cardio workout from Cathe and it is part of the Strong & Sweaty Series. I really enjoyed this workout. It is not a HIIT level workout, but it does have its moments of intensity. In fact, that is what I really like about it. It is a good length for … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: Cardio Slam
Strong & Sweaty: Ramped Up Upper Body
I was very excited about Ramped Up Upper Body (actually, I am excited about all of the Strong & Sweaty workouts for various reasons). When I do splits I prefer full splits--as in upper body and lower body. Cathe rarely does that on DVD. She does lots and lots of lower body workouts, but her … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: Ramped Up Upper Body
