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
Killer Body
Killer Body is Jillian Michael's latest offering. As usual she has given us multiple challenging workouts on one DVD for a great price. This collection is a little different than her usual offerings and I really like it. Usually her workouts are total body, or core focused but this collection is giving you splits, which … Continue reading Killer Body

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

This workout alternates lower body strength work with very … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: HIIT Lower Body Circuit
Ripped with HIIT: Lift It Hit It Legs
For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. Lift It Hit It Legs is part of the Ripped with HIIT series program that focuses on contrast training. I really feel like you can see the benefit of contrast training in this workout more than in any of the others. It … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: Lift It Hit It Legs
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
30 Minutes to Fitness: Slim Sculpting
Slim Sculpting is Kelly Coffey-Meyer's latest offering in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series (she came out with another one as well: Athletic Conditioning) and I love it (as usual). Slim Sculpting is a metabolic strength workout using a kettlebell. I happen to love kettlebell workouts so I was very excited when Kelly announced this. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Slim Sculpting
