KB2 stands for Kettlebells/Kickboxing Squared (I think) and it is a kickboxing/kettlebell workout by Amy Bento. I really, really wanted this to be an awesome, dream workout. Unfortunately, it was not. It has possibilities but it was not what I was hoping for. I really love kettlebell work and kickboxing, so just like when I … Continue reading KB2

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
Drop Set Strength
Drop Set Strength is a very long total body strength workout by Amy Bento based on the drop set method of lifting. The structure of Drop Set Strength is you do 3 sets of each exercise; set 1 consists of 8 reps at the heaviest weight, set 2 consists of 10 reps at a moderate weight … Continue reading Drop Set Strength
Slo-Mo Strength Challenge
Slo-Mo Strength Challenge is 3 tough and advanced strength workouts by Amy Bento. These are the first workouts I've tried by Amy and I really like them. This collection is set up as a split series--3 workouts that each focus on different muscle groups so that if you do all 3 (plus the core workout) each … Continue reading Slo-Mo Strength Challenge
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
P90X2
P90X2 is another advanced fitness program by Tony Horton and Beachbody. I got P90X2 around the same time as I got Insanity: Asylum Volume 1 and it fell prey to the same delay--discovery of Cathe. So in spite of my intense excitement when P90X2 was announced, it has sat on my shelf collecting dust for several years. I … Continue reading P90X2
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
