Extreme Shed & Shred

Extreme Shed & Shred is probably my favorite Jillian Michael's workout. I've had it for a long time but I haven't done it in a while. It contains two metabolic strength training workouts--Level 1 and Level 2. I love them both; however, the only one that might justify the title "Extreme" is Level 2. But … Continue reading Extreme Shed & Shred

Piloxing

There is a somewhat long story behind me getting this workout and I will try to keep it brief so as not to bore readers. I have been intrigued with this workout for a very long time. But I held off purchasing it for a host of reasons--it is not cheap ($22.49 on Amazon), I … Continue reading Piloxing

Tabata Bootcamp with Toys

Just look at the title of this workout DVD? How could I resist? Tabata with Toys? A whole DVD devoted to tabata? I had to have it! Mindy Mylrea is new to me, so I didn't know what to expect.

Breathless Body 3: HIIT it Big!

I am a HUGE fan of Amy Dixon's HIIT workouts and HIIT workouts in general, so I snapped this one up as soon as I saw it. Before I go any further, I want to mention how I plan to review this workout. Since it is the 3rd in her Breathless Body series, I want … Continue reading Breathless Body 3: HIIT it Big!

Intensity Overload: No Equipment Required

Mindy Mylrea is another of the many new-to-me trainers I am sampling. Thus far I have been extremely happy with the new trainers and I really like Mindy, too--but I am not completely thrilled with this DVD. I actually got two workouts by Mindy--this one and Tabata with Toys. I am loving Tabata with Toys, … Continue reading Intensity Overload: No Equipment Required

30 Minutes to Fitness: Plateau Buster

Kelly Coffey-Meyer is another new-to-me trainer and not one I would normally try. But I got a lot of Amazon gift cards for Christmas and around the time I was deciding what to buy with those gift cards, Kelly Coffey-Meyer had a sale on her website (Coffeyfit.com). I went to check it out and was intrigued. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Plateau Buster

Rapid Fire 3

Susan Chung is another new trainer for me! And I have found yet another one I really like! I can't believe the new gems I am discovering. Susan doesn't have a lot of workouts for me to glom, but glom them I will! Susan creates kickboxing workouts. I don't know the composition of the other 3 … Continue reading Rapid Fire 3

Ignite

Ignite is my first workout by Toby Massenburg and I love him! The workout was advanced and really challenged me. It was well put together and I really, really like Toby! What a great find! It is an all out HIIT workout. It is short but does an incredible job in very little time. It is … Continue reading Ignite

Rhythmic Step

Rhythmic Step is on one of Cathe's wonderful "collection" DVDs. There are 3 cardio workouts on this DVD; the other two workouts are Interval Max and Maximum Intensity Cardio. I have actually had the collection a long time and reviewed the other two workouts  a year or so ago. But I put off doing Rhythmic … Continue reading Rhythmic Step
