This was a very interesting workout. A few things to note upfront. This is the very first Cathe Live--and you can tell. This workout has issues. Second, on the Cathe Live page it is listed as "Bootcamp"; however, it is kickboxing bootcamp, so that is what I am calling it. I actually really liked this workout … Continue reading Cathe Live: Kickbox Bootcamp

Cathe Live: Cardio & Weights (upper body)
The (upper body) in the blog post title is not part of the actual title Cathe gave this workout; I just added it for my own information. It is a Cathe Live workout called Cardio & Weights and I love it. Yet another excellent cardio + strength workout from Cathe and I especially love that … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio & Weights (upper body)
Cathe Live: Ripped with HIIT Scrambler
I love Ripped w/ HIIT workouts. So when I saw this "scrambler" I had to try it. I was hoping for a total body strength + HIIT workout. I didn't quite get it here. Here is Cathe's description of this workout: Ripped With Hiit Scrambler With Step LIVE is a mix of RWH Lower Body … Continue reading Cathe Live: Ripped with HIIT Scrambler
Cathe Live: Cross Train Lower Body
Wow--this was a more intense Cathe Live workout than I expected. For some reason I did not expect this to be so cardio intensive (even tho she says there is cardio in the workout description on her forum). It is strength + cardio and it is also contrast training. Overall more challenging than I expected. … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cross Train Lower Body
Cathe Live: Kickboxing & Compound Weights
Kickboxing & Compound Weights is another great Cathe Live kickboxing workout. Intense and fun. It is set up in Cathe's standard cardio kickboxing/boxing structure--combos alternated with cardio blasts. Overall it wasn't too complicated but she did have one rather complex punching combo that was even giving her problems! Cathe kept messing up her own combo. That's … Continue reading Cathe Live: Kickboxing & Compound Weights
Cathe Live: Cardio Leg Blast w/ High Step
This was a super tough Cathe Live workout! It wasn't exactly what I expected but it definitely fried my legs. Due to the title I was expecting the workout to alternate between cardio and strength but that's not how it played out at all. It started with cardio then went to very intense metabolic work … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Leg Blast w/ High Step
The Master’s Hammer & Chisel
When Hammer & Chisel was first announced I was so excited! I loved Body Beast so when I saw Sagi was coming out with a new strength training program I planned to purchase it as soon as it was available. They initially announced it via a cryptic trailer several months before it was released and showed … Continue reading The Master’s Hammer & Chisel
Kettlebell Drills
Kettlebell Drills by Paul Katami is a great kettlebell workout collection. It contains a 35 minute clinic in which Paul teaches you kettlebell basics such as the different grips and 15 kettlebell exercises. It was not as easy as I expected it to be, either. Yes, you get long breaks as he teaches and demonstrates … Continue reading Kettlebell Drills

This DVD contains 3 approximately 30 minute workouts that work the entire upper body--not just the arms and back. And since this … Continue reading Killer Arms & Back
30 Minutes to Fitness: Strength & Stamina
Strength & Stamina is Kelly Coffey-Meyer's other new workout DVD in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series. The other one that was recently released is Athletic Conditioning 2, which I did and reviewed yesterday. Consensus is--they are both awesome workouts! Just like all of her 30 Minute to Fitness DVDs, this one contains 2 approx. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Strength & Stamina
