Extreme Calorie Burn

The title snagged my attention, then I saw it was by Patrick Goudeau and knew that it was probably an accurate title! Patrick can burn the fat off anyone with his intense metabolic weight training workouts. I am working on building a solid collection of advanced metabolic weight training workouts and of course Patrick will … Continue reading Extreme Calorie Burn

Rapid Fire 2: Results

I now own all 4 of Susan Chung's Rapid Fire workouts and I love them all so much, I can't decide which is my favorite! Rapid Fire 2: Results is just as awesome as the other 3! Part of me thinks I like this one best, but I think that every time I do one … Continue reading Rapid Fire 2: Results

Toby Massenburg’s AfterBURN

I had to clarify in the title line that this AfterBURN is from trainer Toby Massenburg because Cathe also has an Afterburn that has been reviewed here. They are both very intense metabolic weight training workouts, but that is where the similarities end. Now, this isn't a comparison review, so I am not going into … Continue reading Toby Massenburg’s AfterBURN

Hard Work Conditioning 2

Wow! That title is no joke! This is the second Patrick Goudeau workout I've done (Kickbox Burn doesn't really count because it's really Heather Corndorf) and it is hard work. I own Hard Work Conditioning 1 but haven't done it yet, so I cannot compare at this time--but Hard Work Conditioning 2 earns its name! … Continue reading Hard Work Conditioning 2

Get Ripped & Chiseled

Get Ripped & Chiseled is one of Jari Love's older workouts, but boy is it tough. All of her workouts are high rep/endurance workouts, but this one is one of the worst. Millions of reps plus she supersets muscle groups, completely burning them out before moving on to the next muscle group. I remember doing … Continue reading Get Ripped & Chiseled

Michelle Dozois’s Ultimate Workout

Michelle Dozois's Ultimate Workout is a pretty neat concept. In her intro, she states that many of the people who come to her gym are looking for one class that does it all—strength, cardio, core and flexibility and in minimal time. That is why she created this workout. If you do all three segments you get … Continue reading Michelle Dozois’s Ultimate Workout

Get Ripped to the Core

Get Ripped to the Core is one of Jari Love's older workouts, but it is a good one. The focus of this workout is high rep compound exercises. This workout is put together very nicely and if you choose your weights wisely, it is an excellent total body metabolic strength workout that hits every muscle … Continue reading Get Ripped to the Core

Kickbox Burn

What a find! Kickbox Burn was recommended to me by a reader of this blog and wow, am I grateful! Patrick Goudeau is a new find for me (tho he has been around for a while) but this workout is a little different. He doesn't lead it. In fact, the top of the DVD says … Continue reading Kickbox Burn

Kettlebell Cardio Shred

Kettlebell Cardio Shred is part of Bob Harper’s Inside Out Method series and yet another excellent workout. I love kettlebell workouts but I think I love Bob Harper’s best. He doesn’t have that many—only two and a short 30 minute one that comes with his kettlebells but, as usual, Bob gives you an excellent workout. … Continue reading Kettlebell Cardio Shred

Extreme Burn: Total Body Interval Training

Mike Donavanik is another new-to-me trainer. In fact, with Mike, I am at the end of the new-to-me trainers that I have decided to try out. I bought this DVD months ago and am just now getting around to trying it. The thing that made me hold off was the lengths of the workouts. There … Continue reading Extreme Burn: Total Body Interval Training
