X10

  ***Updated 10/17/13 X10 is INSANE! I don't even know how to describe it. But I will try. X10 is a mix and match conglomeration. It contains five "10 minute" segments. NONE of these are actually 10 minutes--they are all longer, but we'll get to that in a moment. It also contains a warm up … Continue reading X10

ACE HIIT Series

ACE HIIT Series workouts are led by Chris Freytag. I have a few workouts by Chris and I really like them but I never do them anymore. They are more intermediate workouts and, well, I am an advanced exerciser now. However, when I was a more intermediate exerciser, I found them to be solid workouts. … Continue reading ACE HIIT Series
