The Firm: Express Total Body Shaping

Express Total Body Shaping is a stand alone/add on Firm workout. It did not come included in a system (at least not that I remember). It uses the sculpting stick from Body Sculpting System 2, but I am pretty sure it came out the same time as the Firm Box system came out (Firm Box … Continue reading The Firm: Express Total Body Shaping

Due to my current drop in fitness level due to chemo, I have dug out a lot of old workout DVDs that I stored in boxes in my closet many years ago.

Element: Yoga for Energy & Relaxation

I am a big fan of Ashley Turner's Element yoga workouts. A blog reader recommended Tamal Dodge's Element yoga workouts, saying they were even better than Ashley's.

Walk On: 15 Minute Fast Fat Blasts

I bought a bunch of Walk On collections by Jessica Smith to help get me through chemo and yet I keep going back to the same ones--5 Fat Burning Miles and 21 Day Weight Loss Plan.
