The Firm: Time Crunch Cardio
Time Crunch Cardio contains 3 twenty minute workouts led by trainer Allie Del Rio. This is another Firm workout I bought when it first came out but then never did. I have been trying the workouts out as add ons to finish off other short Firm workouts and I love it for that purpose. So … Continue reading The Firm: Time Crunch Cardio
Killer Cardio
Jillian Michaels Killer Cardio DVD contains 2 short cardio workouts. They are both structured in tabata format (20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of recovery). They both have 4 circuits containing 4 exercises and each circuit is repeated. I really enjoyed both of these workouts. They are not the most intense workouts I … Continue reading Killer Cardio
Cardio Back & Bicep Burn
I am feeling much better this morning so I was thrilled to actually enjoy my workout again! I didn't take Nyquil last night so that wasn't dragging me down this morning either. This morning was Cardio Back & Bicep Burn by Yvette Bachman. This is one of her newer workouts and I knew from the … Continue reading Cardio Back & Bicep Burn

BOSU/HIIT/Bodyweight–Calorie Burning Workout
Bosu/HIIT/Bodyweight is another excellent bosu/cardio workout from Yvette Bachman. Yvette's Youtube workouts are what prompted me to actually get a bosu ball and I am loving her workouts that use them. This one is an intense cardio workout with some body weight strength work. But it is primarily cardio. I love her bosu workouts. They … Continue reading BOSU/HIIT/Bodyweight–Calorie Burning Workout
Fit Body by Julia: Get Pumped #5: Back Focus
Get Pumped #5: Back Focus is my final 2017 workout. I feel kind of sad. I have been really enjoying the long morning workouts I have been doing while on staycation. I do have one more day before I have to return to the daily grind and I have a long Yvette Bachman workout planned … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Get Pumped #5: Back Focus
Fit Body by Julia: Deadweight Legs
When I saw the title of this workout, I was anticipating a lower body workout. This is much more than that. This is actually a total body strength workout with a heavy lower body focus--and as the title suggests, a lot of deadlifts. But you do work all of your major upper body muscle groups … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Deadweight Legs
Fit Body by Julia: Cardio Madness #2
Cardio Madness #2 is a Fit Body by Julia workout. Most of this workout was created by Daniela though the very last portion (Round of Applause Burnout) was created by Christine Comeau. Wow. After doing Cardio Madness #1 I was expecting this to be more doable. Cardio Madness #1 was intense and challenging but entirely doable. This … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Cardio Madness #2
Fit Body by Julia: Cardio Madness
Cardio Madness is a Fit Body by Julia workout. This is my 4th workout by Julia. It was actually created by someone named Daniela but, of course, it was performed by Julia. This was another super tough workout (does Julia do any workout that isn't super tough?). Julia wore a weighted vest off and on … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Cardio Madness
