Total Body Transformation

Bob Harper’s Total Body Transformation is a cardio + strength workout. It is primarily metabolic weight training but it gives your shoulders and your lower body some serious work. This DVD contains two workouts. The full 60 minute workout and a short 14 minute workout. Both are brutal. The problem, however, is that Bob continuously … Continue reading Total Body Transformation

Bob’s Workout

"Bob's Workout" is part of Bob Harper's Inside Out Method workouts and to take it a step further, according to Bob, these are the workouts he does when he works out. I am assuming that they were the workouts that he did in 2010--but now, he is a crossfit junkie and he probably does much … Continue reading Bob’s Workout

Peak 10 Cardio Interval Burn Remix

Yet another tough Peak 10 workout by Michelle Dozois. Cardio Interval Burn Remix is cardio/HIIT--no strength. 60 minutes; 4 minute warm up, 51 minute training time and 5 minute cool down and stretch.

MMA Boxing

MMA Boxing is a very fun cardio boxing workout. I loved it! I can’t believe that over the past year I have hoarded so many Cathe workouts and put off getting this one. Pre-Xtrain, I thought “just boxing?” Hmmmmm--where is the kicking? How can I get a good working from just air boxing? Then I … Continue reading MMA Boxing

Xtrain: Week 6

For more info on Xtrain see My Intro to Xtrain and Week 3 Update. I haven’t been blogging as frequently for several reasons. First because there are no new workouts to review!
