…so I do it at home
30 Min Full Body Circuits Workout is Day 24 in Caroline Girvan's Iron Series. This was a tough metabolic strength workout. I hardly slept at all last night so I do not know if that has anything to do with how I felt/performed in the course of this workout, but I was tired when I … Continue reading IRON Series 30 Min Full Body Circuits Workout – Dumbbells | 24
Jiggle Free Arms is part of The Firm's TransFirmer system. It is led by Stephanie Huckabee. This is a great little cardio + strength upper body workout. The TransFirmer system came with 3 main workouts but you could also purchase 3 add ons--this workout, Jiggle Free Buns and Jiggle Free Abs. I, of course, bought them … Continue reading The Firm: Jiggle Free Arms
HIIT Fit Circuit is an excellent metabolic strength + HIIT workout. I really enjoyed it. However, from the way Cathe described it at the beginning of the workout, I was expecting there to be more of a strength focus but the strength work is primarily metabolic--using dumbbells to keep the heart rate elevated. Which is … Continue reading Cathe Live: HIIT Fit Circuit
After doing Mark Lauren's EFX and reading his books (You Are Your Own Gym and Body By You), I had to get the rest of his DVDs. This series/program is based on his book with the same title: You Are Your Own Gym or YAYOG for short (he also has an app based on his … Continue reading You Are Your Own Gym (YAYOG)
Now, I will admit, I do not own a vast library of Patrick Goudeau workouts, but of the ones I do own, I’ve come expect something from him: a brutal and taxing workout. So with the title of Hard Work Conditioning (and after doing Hard Work Conditioning 2) I was expecting some seriously hard work. … Continue reading Hard Work Conditioning (1)
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
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
30 Day Shred is old school Jillian Michaels. Not old, old school--I sold those DVDs on Amazon a long time ago--but this is when her workouts started getting really good and really effective. 30 Day Shred came out in 2008 and I bought it right when it came out. I found it very tough in … Continue reading 30 Day Shred
Circuit Burn is yet another awesome workout from Kelly Coffey-Meyer in her 30 Minutes to Fitness collection. I love it! But before I go into the review I have to first state the conditions under which I did this DVD. Now, prior to today, when doing Kelly's 30 Minute to Fitness workouts, I did each … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Circuit Burn
Killer Buns & Thighs is another excellent and tough workout collection from Jillian Michaels. This is one of the things I really love about Jillian Michaels; not only does she create effective and tough workouts, but she almost always puts several workouts on one DVD and offers them at an excellent price. So you are … Continue reading Killer Buns & Thighs
