Toby Massenburg’s AfterBURN

I had to clarify in the title line that this AfterBURN is from trainer Toby Massenburg because Cathe also has an Afterburn that has been reviewed here. They are both very intense metabolic weight training workouts, but that is where the similarities end. Now, this isn't a comparison review, so I am not going into … Continue reading Toby Massenburg’s AfterBURN

Kettlebell Cardio Shred

Kettlebell Cardio Shred is part of Bob Harper’s Inside Out Method series and yet another excellent workout. I love kettlebell workouts but I think I love Bob Harper’s best. He doesn’t have that many—only two and a short 30 minute one that comes with his kettlebells but, as usual, Bob gives you an excellent workout. … Continue reading Kettlebell Cardio Shred

30 Minutes to Fitness: Your Best Body

I am at the end of my new-to-me Kelly Coffey-Meyer workouts (though I have her newest on pre-order) and it seems I have saved the best for last. Your Best Body is an incredible workout duo. In some ways it is similar to Weights (which I also love) but in other ways it is unique. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Your Best Body

Extreme Burn: Total Body Interval Training

Mike Donavanik is another new-to-me trainer. In fact, with Mike, I am at the end of the new-to-me trainers that I have decided to try out. I bought this DVD months ago and am just now getting around to trying it. The thing that made me hold off was the lengths of the workouts. There … Continue reading Extreme Burn: Total Body Interval Training

30 Minutes to Fitness: Trim Down

I absolutely adore this workout by Kelly Coffey-Meyer. Trim Down is part of her 30 Minutes to Fitness series, so it contains two 30 minute cardio + strength workouts that are tough but fun. Kelly alternates boxing combos with compound strength moves and really works you hard, giving you two total body workouts. Your heart … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Trim Down

30 Minute to Fitness: TLC

TLC stands for Train Like a Contender, which translates into this being a boxing series--or at least having one boxing workout on it. It is part of the 30 Minutes to Fitness series which means there are two 30 minute workouts on the DVD. One is boxing and one is conditioning; they're both cardio. No … Continue reading 30 Minute to Fitness: TLC

30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Training

Body Training is a unique duo of workouts by Kelly Coffey-Meyer that really surprised me. I was on the fence about getting it, but I've become so obsessed with her workouts that I want all of them (well, almost all; there are a few I probably will never buy), so I just bought it. I … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Training

Cardio Pump Fusion

Cardio Pump Fusion is a unique hybrid cardio workout created by Brook Benten. Several types of cardio are combined in this workout to get the heart pumping and keep you from getting bored. I would say this is intermediate level and the intensity is variable. Brook has two exercisers with her, one showing beginner modifications, one … Continue reading Cardio Pump Fusion

One Week Shred

Jillian Michael's One Week Shred is her newest workout collection and it is tough. The concept behind One Week Shred is if you need a "crash" weight loss plan for some upcoming event--this DVD provides the workouts and the diet plan to get ready for it. There are two workouts. An AM Strength workout that is … Continue reading One Week Shred

Tonique 2

Tonique is a unique series of workouts created by Sylwia Wiesenberg. These workouts were recommended to me as advanced workouts, so I, of course, quickly ordered one to check it out for myself. I found the descriptions of the workouts a little odd; they didn't really give me the information I am looking for when … Continue reading Tonique 2
