Rockout Knockout is another of Cathe's new workouts and I love it! This one is a kickbox-style workout and it is a lot of fun. I haven't done all 9 of Cathe's new workouts yet (though I bought them all), but I have done 3 of them and, so far, none of them are advanced level. … Continue reading Rockout Knockout

Flex Train
Cathe's new workouts finally arrived! Flex Train is a total body strength workout. It is high rep/low weight. I really, really like this workout; however I would put it at intermediate level, which is a little unusual for Cathe who usually does advanced level workouts. I do add a caveat to this. It is intermediate for … Continue reading Flex Train
10 Minute Solution: High Intensity Interval Training
10 Minute Solution has moved into the HIIT arena with their High Intensity Interval Training. Believe it or not I own a ton of these DVDs. I don't know how many will ever be reviewed on this blog but I do own them and have no intention of getting rid of them. Before I get … Continue reading 10 Minute Solution: High Intensity Interval Training
STS Wrap Up
I did it! My longest "program" rotation to date. I did 5.5 months of Cathe's STS. If you are new to this blog or STS or my blog posts on STS, go back to the very first post where I explained what STS is: STS Overview and Prep, in order to understand some of the … Continue reading STS Wrap Up
STS Week 22 (Disks 34, 35 & 36)
For more info on STS see STS Overview and Prep. This is it! The final week of STS. Meso 3 week 4 workouts are practically identical to Meso 3's week 1, 2 and 3 workouts. Here is the difference: you are now lifting 85% of your 1RM, but for 8 reps. So you have increased … Continue reading STS Week 22 (Disks 34, 35 & 36)
STS Week 21 (Disks 31, 32 & 33)
For more info on STS see STS Overview and Prep. Like I mentioned in the last review, these reviews are going to get shorter because, just like last week, these workouts are very similar to the first two weeks of Meso 3 (Week 19 and Week 20). The difference? For the upper body workouts you … Continue reading STS Week 21 (Disks 31, 32 & 33)
STS Week 20 (Disks 28, 29 & 30)
For more information on STS see STS Overview and Prep. This next trio of Meso 3 workouts is very similar to the first Meso 3 trio. Here are the differences: for the upper body workouts you are lifting 85% of your 1RM and each set consists of 7 reps (rather than 8); for Plyo Legs, … Continue reading STS Week 20 (Disks 28, 29 & 30)
STS Week 19 (Disks 25, 26 & 27)
For more information on STS see STS Overview and Prep Mesocycle 3 begins! And since I am doing the 5.5 month rotation (rather than a 6.5 month rotation) I will only be in Meso 3 one month--so the STS reviews will be coming out weekly for the next 4 weeks. I also decided to not … Continue reading STS Week 19 (Disks 25, 26 & 27)
STS Weeks 16, 17 & 18 (Disks 22, 23 & 24)
For more information on STS see STS Overview and Prep This is the last trio of workouts in Mesocycle 2 and boy are they tough. The weeks get a little wonky here because I had a mishap/injury. I hurt myself while doing Disk 22 and made it worse somehow the next day doing cardio (I have no clue how I managed … Continue reading STS Weeks 16, 17 & 18 (Disks 22, 23 & 24)
Abs & Push Ups Plus
Abs & Push Ups Plus is another body-weight only workout by Ilaria Montagnani. As I mentioned in the Atletica 4 review, I purchased these two body-weight only workouts for my daughter who is leaving for college and moving into the dorms. She works out like I do--using my 100s of workout DVDs. However, even if … Continue reading Abs & Push Ups Plus
