When Hammer & Chisel was first announced I was so excited! I loved Body Beast so when I saw Sagi was coming out with a new strength training program I planned to purchase it as soon as it was available. They initially announced it via a cryptic trailer several months before it was released and showed … Continue reading The Master’s Hammer & Chisel

Kettlebell Drills
Kettlebell Drills by Paul Katami is a great kettlebell workout collection. It contains a 35 minute clinic in which Paul teaches you kettlebell basics such as the different grips and 15 kettlebell exercises. It was not as easy as I expected it to be, either. Yes, you get long breaks as he teaches and demonstrates … Continue reading Kettlebell Drills
Killer Arms & Back
Killer Arms & Back is the 4rd (and final) workout collection in Jillian Michael's Killer series. The other 3 workout collections in the series are Killer Abs, Killer Buns & Thighs and Killer Body. This DVD contains 3 approximately 30 minute workouts that work the entire upper body--not just the arms and back. And since this … Continue reading Killer Arms & Back
Cathe Live: Cardio Boxing w/ Stability Ball Abs
Another great cardio boxing workout from Cathe--and another great Cathe Live workout. Cathe has a lot of cardio boxing live workouts! And so far I've loved almost all of them. This one is really no different than the others. It is different, but the same concept. Cardio boxing alternated with cardio blasts. There is almost … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Boxing w/ Stability Ball Abs
Cathe Live: Solid Cardio + HIIT
Solid Cardio + HIIT is another great Cathe Live workout. It is exactly what the title says--cardio alternated with (usually) HIIT level cardio blasts. It is an intense cardio workout and lots of fun. No equipment is needed for this workout. The workout has a long warm up then dives into solid cardio. Some of … Continue reading Cathe Live: Solid Cardio + HIIT
Cathe Live: High Energy Kickboxing
High Energy Kickboxing is another fun Cathe Live workout. This one is all cardio kickboxing and the only equipment needed is optional boxing or weighted gloves. I wore 2 pound weighted gloves and got a great workout. Now, this was a "high energy" cardio kickboxing workout, but not her highest energy. Still a great and … Continue reading Cathe Live: High Energy Kickboxing
ICE: Intermediate Conditioning Extreme
ICE is Cathe's latest fitness program. ICE is an acronym that stands for Intermediate Conditioning Extreme. Now, Cathe is my #1 favorite trainer and an auto-buy for me but I will not lie, when I first learned that this was intermediate level I was disappointed. I love Cathe's advanced workouts (and the majority of her workouts are … Continue reading ICE: Intermediate Conditioning Extreme
ICE: Chiseled Lower Body Blast
Chiseled Lower Body Blast is a great workout. I loved it. It is one of my favorite types of workouts--cardio + strength in which strength work is alternated with cardio blasts. However, it is part of the ICE fitness program and ICE stands for Intermediate Conditioning Extreme, so this is not as intense as Cathe's … Continue reading ICE: Chiseled Lower Body Blast
ICE: Rock’m Sock’m Kickbox
Another great and surprising workout from Cathe's ICE program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Rock'm Sock'm Kickbox was more intense than I was expecting it to be. I would say this is even more intense than Cathe's Rockout Knockout. I didn't think it would be either. The long warm up was rather low key and contained zero … Continue reading ICE: Rock’m Sock’m Kickbox
ICE: Metabolic Total Body
Metabolic Total Body is an excellent metabolic strength training workout. It is part of Cathe's ICE fitness program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Like Low Impact Sweat, I didn't find this workout as easy as I expected. The "intermediate" is deceiving. However, I did automatically lift heavier than Cathe on every single exercise. That is one of the aspects … Continue reading ICE: Metabolic Total Body
