Barlates: Full Body HIIT Series
Full Body HIIT contains three approx. 20 minute workouts. I loved these workouts. Not only are they great workouts on their own, but because of their length, the can be used in other ways. I can use them as my doubles workout which is how I did them the first time I tried them (my second … Continue reading Barlates: Full Body HIIT Series
Barlates: Stretch Yoga Fusion
Stretch Yoga Fusion caught my eye on Amazon because it contains 4 yoga workouts on one DVD. The description called them dynamic stretching with yoga inspired sequences. It is done by Linda Wooldridge, the creator of Barlates Body Blitz. I haven't tried any Barlates workouts until now and I am intrigued by her other offerings. … Continue reading Barlates: Stretch Yoga Fusion
Callanetics Extreme
Callanetics Extreme is a 70 minute bodyweight strength workout. I decided to try it mostly out of curiosity. Amazon kept recommending it to me and it got great reviews.

So, as I work through my DVD review, I will check to see if the individual workouts are also available on YouTube … Continue reading Barlates: 5 Best Butt Blasting Exercises
10 Minute Body Transformation, 2nd Edition
A second edition! I was very excited when I saw this. I love Jillian's first 10 Minute Body Transformation. It was very well done and it is one of her workouts I return to more frequently than her others. Since it is set up in approximately 10 minute segments, it's perfect to use as an … Continue reading 10 Minute Body Transformation, 2nd Edition
Svelte U: Workout Two
Workout Two is the second of the Svelte U workouts created by Tracey Mallett. Like Svelte U: Workout One, there are actually three 20 minute workouts on this DVD. So if you purchase Workout One and Workout Two you would get six 20 minute workouts that actually work very nicely together. I did all 3 … Continue reading Svelte U: Workout Two
Svelte U: Workout One
Tracey Mallett has created two new workout DVDs. They are both titled Svelte U. One is Workout One and the other is Workout Two; however they both contain three 20 minute workouts. This is obviously a review of the first DVD. Though it does contain 3 workouts, I did them all in one session, back … Continue reading Svelte U: Workout One
