…so I do it at home
Flaming Legs is Day 7 in Caroline Girvan's Epic Heat program. That title is no exaggeration! My legs were on fire! I previewed this video and could tell it would be very challenging but I was optimistic about my weights and had the full selection of heavy dumbbells laid out. I ended up only using … Continue reading FLAMING LEGS – Leg Day Workout | EPIC Heat – Day 7
Framework 30 Minute Back & Biceps Workout is Day 8 in Caroline Girvan's Epic Heat program. Wow. Another tough back workout. I adore Caroline's workouts--especially her back workouts. She burned out my back and biceps by the end of this workout. I expected this but I also feel like I am growing stronger from her … Continue reading Framework 30 Min Back & Biceps Workout | EPIC Heat – Day 8
Tricep Workout at Home with Dumbbells is one of Caroline Girvan's short finisher/add on workouts. I used it as a finisher after doing her Framework Back & Bicep workout. My muscles were already well worked and fatigued from that workout and this completely finished me off. My muscles were trembling by the end of this … Continue reading Tricep Workout at Home with Dumbbells | 10 Minutes
Fearless Full Body Dumbbell Workout / Complex is Day 45 in Caroline Girvan's EPIC II program. Wow! What an excellent, thorough and incredible total body metabolic strength workout. It is long one though. The workout itself is 65 minutes but with no warm up and a rather inadequate stretch for such a challenging workout. Caroline … Continue reading FEARLESS Full Body Dumbbell Workout / Complex | EPIC II – Day 45
After posting about Heather Robertson's 20 Min AMRAP // Total Body Workout (and how I didn't care for it), I got a few comments recommending this workout as being better.

Fierce Full Body Workout // Strength + Cardio is an excellent metabolic total body strength workout from Heather Robertson. Another major winner. I love all of Heather's workouts but she has a few that are the best of the best and this is one of them. I felt like this was very well put together … Continue reading Fierce Full Body Workout // Strength + Cardio
Dumbbell Leg Day Workout // Pyramid Sets is Day 18 of Caroline Girvin's Epic II fitness program. Another tough lower body strength workout and this one is long, too. This is more of a high rep, endurance level workout so I was a bit conservative with my dumbbell choices. Caroline still burned my legs out. … Continue reading Dumbbell Leg Day Workout // Pyramid Sets // EPIC II Day 18
The Pump Workout / Upper Body Complexes is Day 29 of Caroline Girvin's Epic II program. This was a humbling workout. I did it because I really enjoyed Caroline's other workouts based on complexes. This workout, however, was brutal--for me at least. I am in awe of Caroline. She used a set of 17.5 pound … Continue reading The Pump Workout / Upper Body Complexes | EPIC II – Day 29
