Chiseled Lower Body Blast is a great workout. I loved it. It is one of my favorite types of workouts--cardio + strength in which strength work is alternated with cardio blasts. However, it is part of the ICE fitness program and ICE stands for Intermediate Conditioning Extreme, so this is not as intense as Cathe's … Continue reading ICE: Chiseled Lower Body Blast

ICE: Low Impact Sweat
Low Impact Sweat is part of Cathe's ICE fitness program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). It is the first workout I have done from this series and my first impression is--intermediate? Really? This was very challenging! I got an excellent workout! Here is what I can guess is intermediate about this workout--when she used dumbbells to increase … Continue reading ICE: Low Impact Sweat

Yet another awesome cardio + strength workout from Cathe Live.

Ultimatum
I cannot even remember how I came across Ultimatum but it has been on my Amazon Wishlist for a very long time. It is expensive.

So I was definitely … Continue reading Ultimatum
