PiYo is an interesting concept and one that I actually had zero interest in when it first appeared. However, the more I heard about it, the more intrigued I became. Plus, I really like Chalene Johnson. PiYo is a fusion of yoga and pilates into fluid movement. It is strength + cardio+ flexibility using only your body weight. … Continue reading PiYo

BodyFit 360 (Vol 1)
BodyFit 360 is one of Michelle Dozois new workouts. It came out the same time as Cardio Interval Burn Remix and Cardio Strength Remix. I pre-ordered those two, but at the time, had no interest in BodyFit 360. That has changed. I am about 2 months into Chalene Johnson's PiYo and loving it. It occurred … Continue reading BodyFit 360 (Vol 1)
Weider Ruthless
Weider Ruthless was discovered by accident. Actually, Amazon's practice of "recommending" things they think I might be interested in buying, based on my past purchases, things on my wishlist, things I browse, etc. is a pretty good method to get me to spend $$ as I have purchased several things because of their recommendations. This is … Continue reading Weider Ruthless
Release
Release is another Patrick Goudeau Presents workout in the tradition of Kickbox Burn. I love that Patrick finds these awesome trainers and uses his influence to introduce people to them. I am currently in the midst of a long and challenging hybrid rotation (Body Beast, PiYo and Weider Ruthless--reviews of all will post eventually), so … Continue reading Release
Flow Yoga for Beginners
I rarely even look at workouts with the word "beginner" attached to them but this was recommended on a fitness forum I frequent as something even experienced yogis would enjoy. I am not an "experienced" yogi but I am not new to the practice either. And this sounded like just what I was looking for … Continue reading Flow Yoga for Beginners
Fierce Force
Fierce Force was given to me by reader of this blog (Thanks Lisa!) as something I might like. I had actually been considering it since Amazon frequently recommended it to me as something I might enjoy. So I'm back, after a month long blogging hiatus, to finally try something new-to-me. I haven't stopped working out … Continue reading Fierce Force
Play Ball
I really wanted to love this workout by Patrick Goudeau. Play Ball is described as a "30-minute total body blast [that] is jam-packed with fun" and all you need is a medicine ball. Well, I have 3 medicine balls--2 eight pounders and 1 four pounder that don't get enough play. And the fact that it is … Continue reading Play Ball
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
30 Minute to Fitness: Home Gym Intervals
Home Gym Intervals is one of Kelly Coffey-Meyer's newest 30 Minutes to Fitness workouts. I had it on pre-order and I wanted to do it as soon as it arrived, but I was actually out of town on vacation when it arrived so I wasn't able to give it a go until I got back … Continue reading 30 Minute to Fitness: Home Gym Intervals
Body Weight Blast
Wow! Another winner by Patrick Goudeau and I think this one is my new favorite! It is tough, fun and signature Patrick metabolic strength training. I think this is his best one yet. Don't let the title Body Weight Blast fool you--this is not a body weight only workout. In fact, he uses heavier dumbbells … Continue reading Body Weight Blast
