When Hammer & Chisel was first announced I was so excited! I loved Body Beast so when I saw Sagi was coming out with a new strength training program I planned to purchase it as soon as it was available. They initially announced it via a cryptic trailer several months before it was released and showed … Continue reading The Master’s Hammer & Chisel

30 Minutes to Fitness: Strength & Stamina
Strength & Stamina is Kelly Coffey-Meyer's other new workout DVD in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series. The other one that was recently released is Athletic Conditioning 2, which I did and reviewed yesterday. Consensus is--they are both awesome workouts! Just like all of her 30 Minute to Fitness DVDs, this one contains 2 approx. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Strength & Stamina
30 Minutes to Fitness: Athletic Conditioning Volume 2
Athletic Conditioning Vol 2 is the second volume in Kelly Coffey-Meyer's Athletic Conditioning series. They are a "young adult series" within her 30 Minutes to Fitness series that was apparently created to help young people stay in shape in their off season. This was explained in Volume 1. Volume 2 just carries the title and … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Athletic Conditioning Volume 2
ICE: Intermediate Conditioning Extreme
ICE is Cathe's latest fitness program. ICE is an acronym that stands for Intermediate Conditioning Extreme. Now, Cathe is my #1 favorite trainer and an auto-buy for me but I will not lie, when I first learned that this was intermediate level I was disappointed. I love Cathe's advanced workouts (and the majority of her workouts are … Continue reading ICE: Intermediate Conditioning Extreme
ICE: Boot Camp Circuit
Boot Camp Circuit is a fun, intermediate level total body metabolic strength + cardio workout. I really enjoyed it. However, it is definitely a step down from Cathe's original Bootcamp workout as well as her Drill Max. Having done all of the ICE workouts at least once, I would rate this one as the most … Continue reading ICE: Boot Camp Circuit
ICE: Metabolic Total Body
Metabolic Total Body is an excellent metabolic strength training workout. It is part of Cathe's ICE fitness program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Like Low Impact Sweat, I didn't find this workout as easy as I expected. The "intermediate" is deceiving. However, I did automatically lift heavier than Cathe on every single exercise. That is one of the aspects … Continue reading ICE: Metabolic Total Body
Cathe Live: Total Body Tone Up
Another excellent total body workout from Cathe Live. I thought it was a great workout and really enjoyed it; however, oddly, the back really seemed short-changed in this workout. She covered every other muscle group very well but the back got nothing but pullovers. Personally, I would have preferred she shortchanged the chest this morning. … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Tone Up
Cathe Live: Compound Giant Sets
I chose to do this workout mostly out of curiosity from the title. I am so glad I did. This is an awesome metabolic/endurance workout. It wasn't quite what I expected by the title. A giant set is circuit training with very little rest between sets; however I always associate giant sets with focusing on … Continue reading Cathe Live: Compound Giant Sets
Cathe Live: Metabolic Conditioning
Metabolic Conditioning was my Christmas workout. I was up late last night (and ate and drank too much!), we had stockings & gifts this morning, then dinner at noon and another dinner with the in-laws this evening. Not much time to workout! Metabolic Conditioning sounded short, intense and sweet at only 42 minutes. And it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Metabolic Conditioning
Cathe Live: Total Body Cardio & Weights
Yet another awesome cardio + strength workout from Cathe Live. Cathe's live workouts are a treasure trove of these types of workouts--and btw, cardio + strength is my absolute favorite type of workout, and Cathe consistently does it better than anyone else out there. Not necessarily metabolic strength, tho I do love that, too, but circuit … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Cardio & Weights
