Pure Burn Super Strength is part of Bob Harper's Inside Out Method series and it is an awesome and advanced total body strength workout. It is endurance metabolic strength work--lots of reps and there is definitely some cardio.

Muscle Definition is another pure strength workout collection from Kelly Coffey-Meyer in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series. It contains two workouts and a bonus abdominal workout. Overall, I have to say that these are excellent and impressive strength workouts--very challenging and well done.

30 Minutes to Fitness: Split Sessions
Split Sessions is the second pure strength workout by Kelly Coffey-Meyer that I've tried and I am impressed. I loved Body Shop for what it was: total body workouts. But this is what the title says it is: split series and it does it very well. In fact, I was able to go pretty heavy … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Split Sessions

Jillian Michael's One Week Shred is her newest workout collection and it is tough. The concept behind One Week Shred is if you need a "crash" weight loss plan for some upcoming event--this DVD provides the workouts and the diet plan to get ready for it. There are two workouts. An AM Strength workout that is … Continue reading One Week Shred
Tonique 2
Tonique is a unique series of workouts created by Sylwia Wiesenberg. These workouts were recommended to me as advanced workouts, so I, of course, quickly ordered one to check it out for myself. I found the descriptions of the workouts a little odd; they didn't really give me the information I am looking for when … Continue reading Tonique 2
30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Shop

I've done plenty of her circuit workouts and pure cardio workouts but in Body Shop, the only cardio you get is from the effort you put into the exercises. Body Shop contains 2 … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Shop
Rapid Fire: Kick, Box and Core Burn
Rapid Fire: Kick, Box and Core Burn is actually Rapid Fire 1--the first in the series by Susan Chung. I so enjoyed Rapid Fire 3 & Rapid Fire 4 that I decided I must have them all, so I am slowly accumulating them. I only have one more to purchase after this: Rapid Fire 2: … Continue reading Rapid Fire: Kick, Box and Core Burn
Dream Body
Dream Body was recommended to me as an advanced workout, so of course I had to give it a try. On first search, I found that Dream Body is a system that costs $95. I wasn't ready to spend that kind of money on a system I knew so little about and had never heard … Continue reading Dream Body
Hard Body
Hard Body is one of Jillian Michael's newer workouts (she just released another one, One Week Shred, which I had on pre-order and just received this weekend. I'll be reviewing it soon!). Hard Body consists of two cardio + strength workouts that are 45 and 50 minutes. Neither of them are beginner workouts. I would say Level 1, if you … Continue reading Hard Body

Wow. This workout is crazy intense. Patrick Goudeau is another new-to-me trainer and that man is a machine! This is an advanced metabolic strength training + HIIT workout with no down time. None. Your recovery is moving on to the next very challenging move. I really liked this workout. It is put together well with … Continue reading Lean, Hot Body
