Due to my current drop in fitness level due to chemo, I have dug out a lot of old workout DVDs that I stored in boxes in my closet many years ago. I decided it was time to revisit my old Firm workouts that got me addicted to working out 15+ years ago. What actually started … Continue reading The Firm: Aerobic Body Shaping

Reebok Step: The Video
Reebok Step: The Video is the oldest workout I still own. I owned this workout on VHS and did it all the time it back in the 1990s--I loved it then. When I saw it was on DVD and I was rehabilitating from my accident 10 years ago, I bought it and did it then. … Continue reading Reebok Step: The Video

2-Week Turn Around: Cardio

There are two DVDs--a cardio and a strength DVD. Both DVDs contain multiple short workouts that you can do alone or put them … Continue reading 2-Week Turn Around: Cardio
Low Impact Step + Total Body Sculpting
After doing the two easy Cathe workouts I've had laying around for years (Basic Step and High Step Circuit) I decided to buy her other beginner level workouts that I'd seen but not bothered with. Cathe doesn't have a ton of beginner level workouts but she does have a few and now I own all … Continue reading Low Impact Step + Total Body Sculpting

You can do everything individually or Jessica has a premix menu that combines some of the workouts and lists them by Days (Day 1-5) so you have your workout … Continue reading Walk On: Walk Off Belly Fat
Barlates: Bodyweight Basics Lower
I thought, by the title (Bodyweight Basics Lower), this might be more my speed. I don't have a problem with Linda's Beginner Interval workouts right now, but her Endurance 90 Lower killed me. I thought--maybe this will be easier than Endurance 90 Lower. And it probably is easier. But chemo is really tearing me down … Continue reading Barlates: Bodyweight Basics Lower
Cathe’s Basic Step
Just like High Step Circuit, when I purchased my club step this DVD was included. I am not an advanced stepper but normally I prefer very intense cardio. So, like High Step Circuit, this DVD was just collecting dust. But due to my new circumstances of needing easier workouts, I decided it was time to finally try … Continue reading Cathe’s Basic Step
