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

You Are Your Own Gym Volume 2 (YAYOG-2)

Mark Lauren came out with another body weight strength training program based on his book You Are Your Own Gym (YAYOG). I love everything Mark Lauren creates so I snapped this up as soon as I saw it. Volume 2 is set up just like his first DVD YAYOG program. The program has 3 levels: … Continue reading You Are Your Own Gym Volume 2 (YAYOG-2)

Focus 15

Focus 15 contains 3 body weight workouts from Mark Lauren. The "15" in the title indicates the length of the workouts, but they are all longer than 15 minutes, even without the warm up and cool downs, and approx. 30 minutes with those. However, just like in his other workouts, Mark demonstrates every exercise you will … Continue reading Focus 15

Riptensity

Riptensity is a body weight training system put out by Men's Health. It was created and led by Gideon Akande. He has a very impressive background but I was most excited because he was a crew member in Meta Shred 21! In fact, he was the advanced modifier! His other claims to fame are being … Continue reading Riptensity

PopPhysique: Original Butt

I had never heard of PopPhysique before but Popsugar/Anna Renderer had PopPhysique trainer Sam Harper as a guest trainer and I really enjoyed her 10 minute Leg & Butt workout, so I looked PopPhysique up on Amazon. There were two workouts with "butt" in the title that were cheap if purchased used. The covers of … Continue reading PopPhysique: Original Butt

Popsugar: Squat & Plank Challenge

Squat & Plank Challenge is a fun little 10 minute workout from Popsugar. It is led by Anna Renderer. As usual, I used it as an add on/finisher to a Cathe Live workout. It is not terribly challenging to be honest. It is bodyweight training but none of the moves are hard or complicated. But I … Continue reading Popsugar: Squat & Plank Challenge

Popsugar: Bikini HIIT workout

Bikini HIIT is a fun little 20 minute workout from Popsugar, led by Anna Renderer. I really liked this workout a lot. It was an excellent finisher to the total body strength workout I had just completed. However, what bothers me to no end is the liberal use of the acronym "HIIT" by trainers. This is … Continue reading Popsugar: Bikini HIIT workout

Popsugar: 15 Minute Bootcamp Workout

This is a fun little bootcamp workout from Popsugar and Anna Renderer. It's not super intense or super advanced, but for 15 minutes I really liked it. It works well as an add-on finisher workout to round out any workout. I pretty much liked every exercise in this workout--including the warm up and cool down … Continue reading Popsugar: 15 Minute Bootcamp Workout
