…so I do it at home
This is my first 30 minute workout by Popsugar and I didn't know what to expect. I was intrigued by the title and the little bit of it I watched. A sort of cardio-pilates workout. And I will be honest, I did not expect this to be super hard. Well--it was! This was a very … Continue reading Popsugar: Fat Burning Pilates
GymRa is an online personal training subscription type thing. It costs $4.99 a month but they also have a lot of free workout videos on YouTube. I liked the titles of many of them and, after previewing several of the workouts, I decided to give them a try. The first one I tried was Tabata … Continue reading GymRa: Tabata Extreme
Another fun and excellent 10 minute workout from Popsugar. As usual, I used this as an add on after doing a more intense workout. This morning it was Cathe Live: Bootcamp w/ Step and this workout did an excellent job finishing me off. This workout is metabolic lower body work--cardio and bodyweight strength. This workout … Continue reading Popsugar: Skinny Jeans Workout
Bootcamp w/ Step is another awesome, fun and effective cardio + strength Cathe Live workout. This workout is set up circuit fashion. There are 8 circuits and each circuit consists of a cardio blast on the step followed by a lower body strength exercise and ending with an upper body strength exercise. The workout ends … Continue reading Cathe Live: Bootcamp w/ Step
For the Love of Cardio is a very fun Cathe Live workout. She doesn't talk about the title but apparently she is assuming she is collecting everyone's favorite cardio moves into one workout. And maybe she is! It is a fun workout. It is structured into 6 long combos that appear to be theme based. … Continue reading Cathe Live: For the Love of Cardio
Legs w/ Weights & Stability Ball is another tough and excellent lower body workout. This one is along the lines of STS Mesocycle 2's lower body workouts. It is set up in trisets--3 exercises done one right after the other with little rest between. You repeat each triset 3 times. What was really surprising about … Continue reading Cathe Live: Legs w/ Weights & Stability Ball
Hi-Lo Cardio & Core is an interesting workout. I guess I liked it, but I'm not positive I will ever return to it. Maybe by the time I finish writing this review I will have decided. It was a good workout, but maybe not as intense as some of her other cardio workouts. The title … Continue reading Cathe Live: Hi-Lo Cardio & Core
Quick Fix Kickboxing plus 100 Reps Boxing Bonus Challenge plus Step & Weight Drills--that title is quite a mouthful. And an awesome workout! I loved it! When Cathe announced it, I wanted to do it right away, but I have these rotations I do... and I was in the middle of one... but I managed … Continue reading Cathe Live: Quick Fix Kickboxing plus 100 Reps Boxing Bonus Challenge plus Step & Weight Drills
Holy $hit. This workout was brutal. I did not expect this workout to be so effing hard when I decided to try it. In fact, I had some mixed feelings about it. After watching the video clip, I didn't even really know if I was interested in it or not then decided--what the heck. I … Continue reading Cathe Live: Totally Toned Legs
Bootcamp Blast Off is a fun total body cardio + strength workout. It is set up in 7 rounds; each round consists of cardio, compound/metabolic strength, lower body strength and upper body strength. Though Cathe does point out a few times that you are hitting every muscle in the body--that's not really true. The back … Continue reading Cathe Live: Bootcamp Blast Off
