Hard Work Conditioning 2

Wow! That title is no joke! This is the second Patrick Goudeau workout I've done (Kickbox Burn doesn't really count because it's really Heather Corndorf) and it is hard work. I own Hard Work Conditioning 1 but haven't done it yet, so I cannot compare at this time--but Hard Work Conditioning 2 earns its name! … Continue reading Hard Work Conditioning 2

Michelle Dozois’s Ultimate Workout

Michelle Dozois's Ultimate Workout is a pretty neat concept. In her intro, she states that many of the people who come to her gym are looking for one class that does it all—strength, cardio, core and flexibility and in minimal time. That is why she created this workout. If you do all three segments you get … Continue reading Michelle Dozois’s Ultimate Workout

Your Best Body Circuit

Your Best Body Circuit was fun for a lot of reasons. It is one of Michelle Dozois's older workouts and boy, she has come a long way. It's as if the idea for her Peak 10 Cardio Strength workouts was hovering around her mind, but clearly not there yet. Let me start at the beginning. … Continue reading Your Best Body Circuit

Kickbox Burn

What a find! Kickbox Burn was recommended to me by a reader of this blog and wow, am I grateful! Patrick Goudeau is a new find for me (tho he has been around for a while) but this workout is a little different. He doesn't lead it. In fact, the top of the DVD says … Continue reading Kickbox Burn

Kettlebell Cardio Shred

Kettlebell Cardio Shred is part of Bob Harper’s Inside Out Method series and yet another excellent workout. I love kettlebell workouts but I think I love Bob Harper’s best. He doesn’t have that many—only two and a short 30 minute one that comes with his kettlebells but, as usual, Bob gives you an excellent workout. … Continue reading Kettlebell Cardio Shred

30 Minutes to Fitness: Your Best Body

I am at the end of my new-to-me Kelly Coffey-Meyer workouts (though I have her newest on pre-order) and it seems I have saved the best for last. Your Best Body is an incredible workout duo. In some ways it is similar to Weights (which I also love) but in other ways it is unique. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Your Best Body

Extreme Burn: Total Body Interval Training

Mike Donavanik is another new-to-me trainer. In fact, with Mike, I am at the end of the new-to-me trainers that I have decided to try out. I bought this DVD months ago and am just now getting around to trying it. The thing that made me hold off was the lengths of the workouts. There … Continue reading Extreme Burn: Total Body Interval Training

30 Minutes to Fitness: Trim Down

I absolutely adore this workout by Kelly Coffey-Meyer. Trim Down is part of her 30 Minutes to Fitness series, so it contains two 30 minute cardio + strength workouts that are tough but fun. Kelly alternates boxing combos with compound strength moves and really works you hard, giving you two total body workouts. Your heart … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Trim Down

30 Minute to Fitness: TLC

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
