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
Ripped with HIIT is Cathe Friedrich's latest fitness program. Like Xtrain, it can be bought as a program (and you get all of the workout DVDs in a clamshell case) or each workout can be purchased individually. So I am reviewing this in basically the same way I did Xtrain. I will do the program … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT
Kettlebell Krush
Kettlebell Krush is a new workout by the kettlebell master Paul Katami. It is a tough and effective metabolic strength training workout. And only 40 minutes! He packs a lot into 40 minutes! I really enjoyed both of Paul's new workouts; this one and H.I.5. Both are short but intense and so varied that they are … Continue reading Kettlebell Krush

Bodyweight Dance Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 2)
I honestly did not expect to enjoy this workout as much as I did! I adore Michelle Dozois's new BodyFit 360 series! I have no rhythm and two left feet, so I was certain any workout with the word "dance" in it would end up being shelved after one try. But try it I did … Continue reading Bodyweight Dance Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 2)

H.I.5 (High Intensity 5)
HI 5 is Paul Katami's new workout. I actually have a lot of Paul's workouts on my wishlist, but for some reason I haven't purchased them yet. This one caught my eye, as did his other new one Kettlebell Krush. So I splurged and bought them both. HI 5 is an intense metabolic weight training … Continue reading H.I.5 (High Intensity 5)
