I was a bit hesitant to do these workouts after doing Kettlebell Kickboxing: The Body Series. Scorcher and The Body Series are both created by Dasha Libin and I wasn't thrilled with The Body Series. It had a few good workouts but overall it was beginner level, I didn't like Dasha as trainer, I felt the program was … Continue reading Kettlebell Kickboxing: Scorcher Series

Double Down
Double Down is a new cardio + strength workout led by both Amy Dixon and Paul Katami. Two trainers I love, so of course I had to get it. The concept of this workout is to start an exercise, then at some point double your effort--hence the title Double Down. It is set up in 8 … Continue reading Double Down
Breathless Body 4: Going Strong
Going Strong is the newest high intensity workout from Amy Dixon in her Breathless Body series and I love it! I love all of her Breathless Body workouts but this is my absolute favorite. However, it deviates from the first 3 a lot. In fact, it is more along the lines of Patrick Goudeau's awesome … Continue reading Breathless Body 4: Going Strong
Insanity: Asylum Volume 1
I have actually had Asylum Volume 1 for several years. I got it for my birthday right around the same time I rediscovered Cathe, which put a halt to me doing any other program for a long time. However, over the past year I have been doing workouts by other trainers and programs, and I am finally … Continue reading Insanity: Asylum Volume 1
Bodyweight Training
Bodyweight Training is another little collection by Mark Lauren. After doing (and loving) EFX, YAYOG and Mobility RX, I couldn't resist. This one, however, appears to only be featured on Amazon. Mark's website doesn't mention it or offer it. A little odd. But that didn't stop me from buying it! These workouts are based on his … Continue reading Bodyweight Training
Insanity: Max 30
The long awaited (for me at least) Insanity: Max 30 has arrived. I am a big Shaun T fan. I have Insanity and Asylum 1 (review of Asylum should go up in March--at least that is my current plan) but that is all. I didn't want to get Asylum 2 until I did Asylum 1 … Continue reading Insanity: Max 30
You Are Your Own Gym (YAYOG)
After doing Mark Lauren's EFX and reading his books (You Are Your Own Gym and Body By You), I had to get the rest of his DVDs. This series/program is based on his book with the same title: You Are Your Own Gym or YAYOG for short (he also has an app based on his … Continue reading You Are Your Own Gym (YAYOG)

The base program comes with 6 workouts, an instructional DVD, an informational booklet and a nutrition guide.

Ripped with HIIT: HIIT Upper Body Circuit
For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. (Also, these reviews are being posted out of order--this was the first workout I did after receiving the series, but it is the last one that will post--that is why they read a little "off.") It arrived! It finally arrived! Cathe's new series/program … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: HIIT Upper Body Circuit
Ripped with HIIT: HIIT Lower Body Circuit
For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. OMG. O.M.G. I know I have already mentioned it in other reviews, but Cathe has really outdone herself with this new series/program. HIIT Lower Body Circuit is incredibly intense and advanced. It kicked my butt! This workout alternates lower body strength work with very … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: HIIT Lower Body Circuit
