TLC stands for Train Like a Contender, which translates into this being a boxing series--or at least having one boxing workout on it. It is part of the 30 Minutes to Fitness series which means there are two 30 minute workouts on the DVD. One is boxing and one is conditioning; they're both cardio. No … Continue reading 30 Minute to Fitness: TLC

30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Training
Body Training is a unique duo of workouts by Kelly Coffey-Meyer that really surprised me. I was on the fence about getting it, but I've become so obsessed with her workouts that I want all of them (well, almost all; there are a few I probably will never buy), so I just bought it. I … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Training
Cardio Pump Fusion
Cardio Pump Fusion is a unique hybrid cardio workout created by Brook Benten. Several types of cardio are combined in this workout to get the heart pumping and keep you from getting bored. I would say this is intermediate level and the intensity is variable. Brook has two exercisers with her, one showing beginner modifications, one … Continue reading Cardio Pump Fusion
Raise Some Bell: Ultimate Kettlebell Workout
I'm a big fan of Amy Dixon's Breathless Body workouts so when I saw she had a new kettlebell workout I decided to give it a try. I really liked it! It was challenging and fun and I feel I got a great metabolic strength workout. This is not a workout for those new to … Continue reading Raise Some Bell: Ultimate Kettlebell Workout
One Week Shred
Jillian Michael's One Week Shred is her newest workout collection and it is tough. The concept behind One Week Shred is if you need a "crash" weight loss plan for some upcoming event--this DVD provides the workouts and the diet plan to get ready for it. There are two workouts. An AM Strength workout that is … Continue reading One Week Shred
Tonique 2
Tonique is a unique series of workouts created by Sylwia Wiesenberg. These workouts were recommended to me as advanced workouts, so I, of course, quickly ordered one to check it out for myself. I found the descriptions of the workouts a little odd; they didn't really give me the information I am looking for when … Continue reading Tonique 2
Rapid Fire: Kick, Box and Core Burn
Rapid Fire: Kick, Box and Core Burn is actually Rapid Fire 1--the first in the series by Susan Chung. I so enjoyed Rapid Fire 3 & Rapid Fire 4 that I decided I must have them all, so I am slowly accumulating them. I only have one more to purchase after this: Rapid Fire 2: … Continue reading Rapid Fire: Kick, Box and Core Burn
Dream Body
Dream Body was recommended to me as an advanced workout, so of course I had to give it a try. On first search, I found that Dream Body is a system that costs $95. I wasn't ready to spend that kind of money on a system I knew so little about and had never heard … Continue reading Dream Body
Kettlebell: Butts & Guts
Kettlebell: Butts & Guts is a cardio + strength kettlebell workout by Brook Benten. As the title suggests, it is kettlebell driven. I have had this workout for several years, though I have not done it recently. My recollections of when I used to do it was that it was hard and I was seriously, painfully … Continue reading Kettlebell: Butts & Guts
Hard Body
Hard Body is one of Jillian Michael's newer workouts (she just released another one, One Week Shred, which I had on pre-order and just received this weekend. I'll be reviewing it soon!). Hard Body consists of two cardio + strength workouts that are 45 and 50 minutes. Neither of them are beginner workouts. I would say Level 1, if you … Continue reading Hard Body
