…so I do it at home
Weights is just another reason why I am so thankful I discovered Kelly Coffey-Meyer. Weights alone is an awesome and versatile little collection of workouts! It is really pretty impressive. I've gone through most of my other new-to-me 30 Minutes to Fitness workouts (not all, but most) and I have recently been trying her pure strength … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Weights
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. I haven't done this workout in years but I do remember when I did it how exhausting … Continue reading Pure Burn Super Strength
Cardio Pump Fusion is a unique hybrid cardio workout created by Brook Benten. Several types of cardio are combined in this workout to get the heart pumping and keep you from getting bored. I would say this is intermediate level and the intensity is variable. Brook has two exercisers with her, one showing beginner modifications, one … Continue reading Cardio Pump Fusion
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 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
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
Kettlebell: Butts & Guts is a cardio + strength kettlebell workout by Brook Benten. As the title suggests, it is kettlebell driven. I have had this workout for several years, though I have not done it recently. My recollections of when I used to do it was that it was hard and I was seriously, painfully … Continue reading Kettlebell: Butts & Guts
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
30 Day Shred is old school Jillian Michaels. Not old, old school--I sold those DVDs on Amazon a long time ago--but this is when her workouts started getting really good and really effective. 30 Day Shred came out in 2008 and I bought it right when it came out. I found it very tough in … Continue reading 30 Day Shred
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
