Smokin' Upper Body Blast was tough! Surprisingly tough! Excellent workout. I love cardio + strength workouts--especially when they isolate the upper body. There aren't a lot of those types of workouts out there (they are usually total body or lower body focused), so when I discover one, I glom it! And this is an especially … Continue reading Cathe Live: Smokin’ Upper Body Blast

Cathe Live: Cross Fire Quick Fix + Core
All Cathe has to do is put "Cross Fire" in the title of a workout for me to need to try it. I love her Cross Fire DVD workout. I have loved it since the first time I did it and it is one of my favorite DVD workouts that I return to frequently. So … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cross Fire Quick Fix + Core
Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio Leg Blast + Ball Upper Body
This was an excellent and unique total body cardio + strength workout. Cathe does a lot of cardio + strength workouts that focus on the lower body and they are always high impact, so I was very interested when I saw that the cardio blasts in this workout were low impact. Bonus! You get it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio Leg Blast + Ball Upper Body
Focus T25
I have been on the fence about this program for a long time. I couldn't decide from the information and trailer that Beachbody provided whether I really wanted this program or not. That didn't stop me from following (and bidding) on it on Ebay many times over the past few years. I always lost the … Continue reading Focus T25
Cathe Live: Circuit S-W-E-A-T
Circuit S-W-E-A-T is a great little bootcamp workout. It is not Cathe's most advanced Live workout but it is still a great workout. I really enjoyed it. It is made up of 6 circuits. Each circuit starts with a cardio blast on the step. It is followed by a lower body strength exercise, then an upper body strength … Continue reading Cathe Live: Circuit S-W-E-A-T
Popsugar: Metabolism Boosting Workout
This was a surprisingly intense little metabolic workout from Popsugar and Anna Renderer! And only 20 minutes long. I was very impressed. It has another title (it flashes across the screen at the very beginning) of Cardio Strength Metabolic Mash Up, which is also appropriate. I used it this morning as a "warm up" before … Continue reading Popsugar: Metabolism Boosting Workout
Popsugar: Bikini HIIT workout
Bikini HIIT is a fun little 20 minute workout from Popsugar, led by Anna Renderer. I really liked this workout a lot. It was an excellent finisher to the total body strength workout I had just completed. However, what bothers me to no end is the liberal use of the acronym "HIIT" by trainers. This is … Continue reading Popsugar: Bikini HIIT workout
Stylecraze Fitness: HIIT Upper Body Workout
This workout is led by Dr. Sneha Desu, a medical doctor and fitness instructor. She created four 25-30 minute workouts specifically for women to do at home and this is one of them. I really liked it a lot and plan to do (and review) her other 3 workouts. This is a HIIT workout adaptable … Continue reading Stylecraze Fitness: HIIT Upper Body Workout
Cathe Live: Cardio Core Circuit
Cardio Core Circuit is one of Cathe's Live workouts that is based on one of her DVD workouts. I am trying to prep for these better than I have in the past. So a few days ago I did the DVD version of this workout for comparison's sake. I actually haven't done the DVD version in a while … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Core Circuit
The Booty Barre: Total New Body
Another exhausting workout by Tracey Mallett! I have had this one on my shelf for a month or so but after doing F.I.T. I had to give this one a try. This one is different than her F.I.T. workout. F.I.T. was "functional total body conditioning alternated with cardio athletic drills." This workout is a barre … Continue reading The Booty Barre: Total New Body
