The Fit Tower is a piece of exercise equipment from Cathe Friedrich. Though Cathe created and leads these workouts you cannot buy it from Cathe's website. You can get it from Amazon or from a special Fit Tower website. I never expected to buy the Fit Tower. A long time ago Cathe had a different Fit … Continue reading Fit Tower

Focus: Power Up
Power Up is another 30 minute workout from Tracie Long in her Focus series and I did not enjoy it at all. I actually found it a very odd workout and I don't really understand the point of her Focus series now. From what I can see online (and what I have checked out from … Continue reading Focus: Power Up
The Firm: Jiggle Free Abs
Jiggle Free Abs is part of The Firm's TransFirmer system. It is led by Allie Del Rio. I used to love this workout--and I have never been a fan of long core work. But this workout is so varied and I loved using the step. This is one of the few TransFirmer workouts that is … Continue reading The Firm: Jiggle Free Abs
The Firm: Cardio Core Fusion
Cardio Core Fusion is part of The Firm's pink series--workouts that came after their Body Sculpting systems. It is led by Rebekah Sturkie, another one of my favorite Firm instructors. It came with two 2 pound weighted balls with straps called "cardio sculpting balls." I remember really enjoying this workout but I found the balls too … Continue reading The Firm: Cardio Core Fusion
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
Barlates: Bodyweight Basics Lower
I thought, by the title (Bodyweight Basics Lower), this might be more my speed. I don't have a problem with Linda's Beginner Interval workouts right now, but her Endurance 90 Lower killed me. I thought--maybe this will be easier than Endurance 90 Lower. And it probably is easier. But chemo is really tearing me down … Continue reading Barlates: Bodyweight Basics Lower
The Perfect Design: Level I Beginner
I never intended to purchase The Perfect Design: Level I Beginner, but my world has changed so much in the past few months that I decided to give this one a try. I have already done The Perfect Design Level 2 & Level 3 and enjoyed the lower body portions of both. Now that I … Continue reading The Perfect Design: Level I Beginner
JessicaSmithTV: Lower Body: Hips & Glutes Focus
This is a great little lower body workout from Jessica Smith--and free on YouTube! I did it after doing one of Jessica's 15 minute DVD cardio walks and it seemed like it actually worked my lower body very well. I was definitely getting some burn in my glutes. Peanut is there for the entire workout, … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Lower Body: Hips & Glutes Focus
Barlates: Endurance 90 Lower
Endurance 90 Lower is a super tough (IMHO) workout from Linda Wooldridge. I've really been wanting to do this workout ever since Linda posted it to YouTube but I am getting chemo and my workouts are all over the place. I either cannot workout at all, or I have to do something really easy (Jessica … Continue reading Barlates: Endurance 90 Lower
Barlates: Barre Basics Series
Barre Basics is part of a series Linda Wooldridge created. There are 3 disks and each disk contains 4 workouts. Barre Basics, Barre Intermediate and Barre Advanced. They are sold separately or you can buy all 3, which is what I did. I got the full series from Total Fitness DVDs. Their titles make the … Continue reading Barlates: Barre Basics Series
