30 Minutes to Fitness: Your Healthy Back

Your Health Back is a Kelly Coffey-Meyer workout I never thought I'd purchase. The point of this workout is to create and maintain a strong and healthy back. Considering the fact I do heavy barbell rows and deadlifts I didn't think I needed something like this. And I didn't actually purchase the DVD for myself. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Your Healthy Back

Ultimatum

I cannot even remember how I came across Ultimatum but it has been on my Amazon Wishlist for a very long time. It is expensive. The trainer is Lindsi Sanor and she created an intense metabolic weight training fitness program along the lines of Michelle Dozois's Peak 10 Cardio Strength workouts--except shorter. So I was definitely … Continue reading Ultimatum

10 Minute Torchers

10 Minute Torchers was discovered completely by accident. First, I came across a forum post about a Men's Health workout series called The Anarchy Workout. I was curious so I did some research on it. When I decided to spring for it, I was offered 10 Minute Torchers at the checkout. So, of course, before … Continue reading 10 Minute Torchers

Yoga Meltdown

Yoga Meltdown is Jillian Michaels' first yoga offering back in 2010. I bought it for my daughter and never actually did it myself--until now. I loved her Yoga Inferno, so I've been meaning to give this one a try for a while. Now that I've done it, I love it, too. And it also shows … Continue reading Yoga Meltdown

Bodyweight Training

Bodyweight Training is another little collection by Mark Lauren. After doing (and loving) EFX, YAYOG and Mobility RX, I couldn't resist. This one, however, appears to only be featured on Amazon. Mark's website doesn't mention it or offer it. A little odd. But that didn't stop me from buying it! These workouts are based on his … Continue reading Bodyweight Training

Insanity: Max 30

The long awaited (for me at least) Insanity: Max 30 has arrived. I am a big Shaun T fan. I have Insanity and Asylum 1 (review of Asylum should go up in March--at least that is my current plan) but that is all. I didn't want to get Asylum 2 until I did Asylum 1 … Continue reading Insanity: Max 30

You Are Your Own Gym (YAYOG)

After doing Mark Lauren's EFX and reading his books (You Are Your Own Gym and Body By You), I had to get the rest of his DVDs. This series/program is based on his book with the same title: You Are Your Own Gym or YAYOG for short (he also has an app based on his … Continue reading You Are Your Own Gym (YAYOG)

EFX: Postural Bodyweight Training

EFX was created by the master of bodyweight training Mark Lauren. I first discovered him when my daughter started college. She was a home workout buff like her mother and was was worried about how she would manage in college since she doesn't care for the gym environment. One of the many things I got her to help … Continue reading EFX: Postural Bodyweight Training

So you can do all 6 segments + warm up and cool down for a 69 minute workout or pick and choose to create the workout of your … Continue reading Turn Up and Slim Down

Bodyweight Athletic Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 3)

Bodyweight Athletic Conditioning is Volume 3 in Michelle Dozois's new BodyFit 360 series and it is a toughie! Athletic Conditioning is very different from BodyFit 360 Volume 1. Very athletic and much more cardio, whereas Volume 1 was very PiYo-like. Now, don't get me wrong, these body weight workouts (PiYo and BodyFit 360 Vol 1) … Continue reading Bodyweight Athletic Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 3)
