So far I've focused on the lower body and cardio YouTube workouts but I decided that I should sample some of the upper body workouts, too, since they could be nice finishers for my longer upper body and total body workouts. So, this morning was Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio & Strength and I finished … Continue reading Popsugar: Strapless Dress Arm Workout

BeFit: Strong Ass Glutes Bootcamp Workout
This is not technically my first BeFit workout, but it is my first using YouTube. The other BeFit workouts I've done are part of a program (BeFit in 30 Extreme). I checked out level 1 on DVD at the library and was notified by a reader that the entire program (which includes levels 2 and … Continue reading BeFit: Strong Ass Glutes Bootcamp Workout
Popsugar: 20 Minute 200 Calorie Blaster
Another great little workout from Popsugar and Anna Renderer. So far I've enjoyed every little Popsugar workout I've done. And the best part? They are all FREE! As usual, I used 20 Minute 200 Calorie Blaster as an add-on/finisher workout. I was already pretty wore out after the Cathe Live workout I had just completed--Total … Continue reading Popsugar: 20 Minute 200 Calorie Blaster
Popsugar: Leg Sculpting Hot Pants Workout
Leg Sculpting Hot Pants Workout is another awesome little 10 minute workout from Popsugar led by Anna Renderer. This time it is just Anna. She has no exercisers with her. I really liked this one a lot. It is a perfect add-on/finisher for a lower body workout. That is not how I ended up using it today, … Continue reading Popsugar: Leg Sculpting Hot Pants Workout
GymRa: Burn 300 Calories Metabolism Booster HIIT Workout
This is the second free GymRa workout I've done and the first thing I want to say is I really liked this workout a lot. However, it had the same problem as the first one I did (Tabata Extreme)--boring, uninspiring music that you can barely hear. Which makes me think that maybe what I need … Continue reading GymRa: Burn 300 Calories Metabolism Booster HIIT Workout
Popsugar: Fat Burning Pilates
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
Cathe Live: Bootcamp w/ Step
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
Cathe Live: Legs w/ Weights & Stability Ball
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
Cathe Live: Quick Fix Kickboxing plus 100 Reps Boxing Bonus Challenge plus Step & Weight Drills
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
Cathe Live: Totally Toned Legs
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
