30 Day Shred is old school Jillian Michaels. Not old, old school--I sold those DVDs on Amazon a long time ago--but this is when her workouts started getting really good and really effective. 30 Day Shred came out in 2008 and I bought it right when it came out. I found it very tough in … Continue reading 30 Day Shred

Lean, Hot Body
Wow. This workout is crazy intense. Patrick Goudeau is another new-to-me trainer and that man is a machine! This is an advanced metabolic strength training + HIIT workout with no down time. None. Your recovery is moving on to the next very challenging move. I really liked this workout. It is put together well with … Continue reading Lean, Hot Body
30 Minutes to Fitness: Bootcamp
Bootcamp is part of Kelly Coffey-Meyer's 30 Minutes to Fitness series that I have been obsessively collecting (yes, there are more 30 Minutes to Fitness reviews to come). Like Circuit Burn, I approached these workouts a little differently. Instead of doing the 30 minute workouts individually, the first time I did it, I did the premix that … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Bootcamp
30 Minutes to Fitness: Cardio Blast
Cardio Blast is another fun pair of workouts in Kelly's 30 Minutes to Fitness series. They are both cardio workouts; one is step cardio and the other is plyometrics. They are both intermediate level with beginner modifications. Even tho I really enjoyed both of these workouts, I was hoping for something a bit more intense. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Cardio Blast
30 Minutes to Fitness: Circuit Burn
Circuit Burn is yet another awesome workout from Kelly Coffey-Meyer in her 30 Minutes to Fitness collection. I love it! But before I go into the review I have to first state the conditions under which I did this DVD. Now, prior to today, when doing Kelly's 30 Minute to Fitness workouts, I did each … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Circuit Burn
30 Minutes to Fitness: Shape Up
I LOVE this workout! This is the third workout I have done by Kelly Coffey-Meyer and yet another winner! I don't even know where to begin with all I love about her workouts and Shape Up is a perfect example of all of those reasons. First, I adore the 30 minute format. Shape Up is … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Shape Up
Chiseled
Chiseled is a tough cardio + strength/metabolic strength training workout from Toby Massenburg. It is advanced, but very doable for all fitness levels. This is my second workout by Toby and what I like is how in both of his workouts that I've done, he incorporates just the right amount of recovery so you can … Continue reading Chiseled
Tabata Bootcamp with Toys
Just look at the title of this workout DVD? How could I resist? Tabata with Toys? A whole DVD devoted to tabata? I had to have it! Mindy Mylrea is new to me, so I didn't know what to expect. (**I started working my way through this DVD before I did Intensity Overload; however because … Continue reading Tabata Bootcamp with Toys
Breathless Body 3: HIIT it Big!
I am a HUGE fan of Amy Dixon's HIIT workouts and HIIT workouts in general, so I snapped this one up as soon as I saw it. Before I go any further, I want to mention how I plan to review this workout. Since it is the 3rd in her Breathless Body series, I want … Continue reading Breathless Body 3: HIIT it Big!
Intensity Overload: No Equipment Required
Mindy Mylrea is another of the many new-to-me trainers I am sampling. Thus far I have been extremely happy with the new trainers and I really like Mindy, too--but I am not completely thrilled with this DVD. I actually got two workouts by Mindy--this one and Tabata with Toys. I am loving Tabata with Toys, … Continue reading Intensity Overload: No Equipment Required
