15 Minutes to Fit by Zuzka Light

Reviewing a book on my blog is a new thing for me, but since this is a fitness blog and 15 Minutes to Fitness is a fitness book, I decided it was a good idea. So this may be the first of several fitness book reviews since I not only purchase lots of workout DVDs, … Continue reading 15 Minutes to Fit by Zuzka Light

Cathe Live: Power Step

Power Step is a great cardio step workout. I always approach Cathe's step workouts with caution since her choreography can get complex, but this one is perfect. It is intense, the choreography is not complicated and if you have done Cathe's step workouts before (which I have), then you are familiar with every step/combo she … Continue reading Cathe Live: Power Step

Cathe Live: Metabolic Conditioning

Metabolic Conditioning was my Christmas workout. I was up late last night (and ate and drank too much!), we had stockings & gifts this morning, then dinner at noon and another dinner with the in-laws this evening. Not much time to workout! Metabolic Conditioning sounded short, intense and sweet at only 42 minutes. And it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Metabolic Conditioning

Cathe Live: Cardio Mish Mosh

Cathe's Live Cardio Mish Mosh is a very cool cardio workout that I know I will return to frequently. It is comparable to Crossfire and To the Max--but only in diversity and intensity. The best way to describe this workout is to think of every single cardio/HIIT/plyo move Cathe does in her vast library of … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Mish Mosh

Cathe Live: Total Body Cardio & Weights

Yet another awesome cardio + strength workout from Cathe Live. Cathe's live workouts are a treasure trove of these types of workouts--and btw, cardio + strength is my absolute favorite type of workout, and Cathe consistently does it better than anyone else out there. Not necessarily metabolic strength, tho I do love that, too, but circuit … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Cardio & Weights

Cathe Live: High Intensity Aerobic Weight Training w/ Step

I love this workout! What an awesome workout! A total body cardio + strength workout. Cathe set it up in 7 rounds. Each rounds starts with a cardio move on a 10 inch step then moves into strength work--some of it upper body, some of it lower body, some of it combines upper and lower … Continue reading Cathe Live: High Intensity Aerobic Weight Training w/ Step

Cathe Live: Hard Strikes Low Impact Boxing

Hard Strikes Low Impact Boxing is a very cool workout. After signing up with Cathe Live and perusing the offerings, some things jumped out at me that went to the top of my list to try. One of those things was the low impact workouts Cathe Live offered. I generally really like Cathe's low impact … Continue reading Cathe Live: Hard Strikes Low Impact Boxing

Cathe Live: Kickbox & Barre

Kickbox & Barre is another Cathe Live workout that I found less then stellar. I really wanted to love it. I mean, I adore kickboxing and barre is a new-to-me type of workout that I really enjoy. I was expecting something along the lines of Kick Max--but shorter, so I could actually fit the entire … Continue reading Cathe Live: Kickbox & Barre

Cathe Live: Super Cuts with Cardio Blasts

Super Cuts w/ Cardio Blasts is the first Cathe Live I have not loved, and I really thought I would. I love her DVD Super Cuts workout, so I expected the addition of cardio blasts would make it even better. Eh. Not so much. It was not a bad workout, but I didn't like it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Super Cuts with Cardio Blasts

Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio & Strength w/ Step

Another awesome Live workout from Cathe. Low Impact Cardio & Strength w/ Step is reminiscent of Athletic Training from Cathe's Low Impact series (which I love) but different enough not to make you feel like you are doing the same workout. It is a great cardio + strength workout and lots of fun. This time … Continue reading Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio & Strength w/ Step
