What this means in training terms is you alternate between upper and … Continue reading Cathe Live: PHA Plus Cardio Blasts
#171 Fit Tower Total Body with Weights is yet another excellent total body strength workout from Cathe Live using her Fit Tower. I love how that tower works my back!

#224 Fit Tower Inferno is another excellent and intense total body strength workout using the Fit Tower.

Well, this one is gong to the … Continue reading Cathe Live: Fit Tower Inferno

Core Movements is a series of workouts by Tracie Long. There are 3 DVDs in this series and each DVD contains 2 approx. 30 minute workouts. Once I fell in love with Tracie's workouts I started hoarding all of her newer stuff but for some reason I avoided these Core Movements workouts. The idea of … Continue reading Core Movements: Volume 1 & 2
15 Minute HIIT Workout for Glutes, Hips & Thighs is a short but effective lower body strength workout from Heather Robertson.

Since it is only … Continue reading 15 Minute HIIT Workout // Glutes, Hips & Thighs
