TurboFire Greatest HIITs

Greatest HIITs is a short high intensity interval training (HIIT) workout. It is part of the TurboFire workout program created and led by Chalene Johnson and sold by Beachbody. Unlike Insanity’s Fast and Furious 20 minute bonus workout, Greatest HIITs is not a good example of what to expect with the TurboFire program. Yes, TurboFire … Continue reading TurboFire Greatest HIITs

Cathe Friedrich’s Cardio Supersets

Edited 8/18/12 Cardio Supersets is part of Cathe’s Low Impact Series. I have had a lot of interest in Cathe’s Low Impact Series for a while, but have held off on purchasing any workouts in that series because a part of me thinks “low impact” equals low intensity. But since I’ve recently become obsessed with … Continue reading Cathe Friedrich’s Cardio Supersets

Gin Miller’s Simply Interval

Simply Interval is a 42 minute cardio/HIIT workout; 5 minute warm up, 33 minute training time and 4 minute cool down.

Especially in this … Continue reading Gin Miller’s Simply Interval

Cathe’s Cardio Kicks

This is another Cathe workout that has multiple workouts on one DVD. And I LOVE that. However, because I am currently doing Jillian Michaels’ Body Revolution for my strength work, I can only do the cardio workout on this DVD.

Amy Dixon’s Breathless Body 2: The Edge

Amy Dixon’s Breathless Body 2: The Edge is a 54 minute HIIT workout; 5 minute warm up, 44 minute training period and 5 minute cool down/stretch. This workout is INSANE! My daughter and I actually have a debate about which is harder--Breathless Body 1 or Breathless Body 2. She says 1, I say 2! We … Continue reading Amy Dixon’s Breathless Body 2: The Edge

Cathe Friedrich’s MMA Fusion

Jari Love’s Extremely Ripped Boot Camp

Boot camp is a 76 minute workout; 5 minute warm up, 65 minute training period and 6 minute cool down/stretch. Another brutal Jari Love workout. All of her workouts are challenging and intense, but Boot Camp and Hardcore 1000 are the most difficult. Whereas Hardcore 1000 is fun and technically perfect, Boot Camp is missing … Continue reading Jari Love’s Extremely Ripped Boot Camp
