Hard Work Conditioning 2

Wow! That title is no joke! This is the second Patrick Goudeau workout I've done (Kickbox Burn doesn't really count because it's really Heather Corndorf) and it is hard work. I own Hard Work Conditioning 1 but haven't done it yet, so I cannot compare at this time--but Hard Work Conditioning 2 earns its name! … Continue reading Hard Work Conditioning 2

Kettlebell Sculpted Body

Kettlebell Sculpted Body is another kettlebell workout by Bob Harper and part of his Inside Out Method series. I really like his kettlebell workouts. This is another good one though I like Kettlebell Cardio Shred better. Nevertheless, they are both excellent kettlebell workouts. Though Bob gives you a different kettlebell workout in KSB, in some … Continue reading Kettlebell Sculpted Body

Get Ripped to the Core

Get Ripped to the Core is one of Jari Love's older workouts, but it is a good one. The focus of this workout is high rep compound exercises. This workout is put together very nicely and if you choose your weights wisely, it is an excellent total body metabolic strength workout that hits every muscle … Continue reading Get Ripped to the Core

Kettlebell Cardio Shred

Kettlebell Cardio Shred is part of Bob Harper’s Inside Out Method series and yet another excellent workout. I love kettlebell workouts but I think I love Bob Harper’s best. He doesn’t have that many—only two and a short 30 minute one that comes with his kettlebells but, as usual, Bob gives you an excellent workout. … Continue reading Kettlebell Cardio Shred

30 Minutes to Fitness: Your Best Body

I am at the end of my new-to-me Kelly Coffey-Meyer workouts (though I have her newest on pre-order) and it seems I have saved the best for last. Your Best Body is an incredible workout duo. In some ways it is similar to Weights (which I also love) but in other ways it is unique. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Your Best Body

Extreme Burn: Total Body Interval Training

Mike Donavanik is another new-to-me trainer. In fact, with Mike, I am at the end of the new-to-me trainers that I have decided to try out. I bought this DVD months ago and am just now getting around to trying it. The thing that made me hold off was the lengths of the workouts. There … Continue reading Extreme Burn: Total Body Interval Training

30 Minutes to Fitness: Trim Down

I absolutely adore this workout by Kelly Coffey-Meyer. Trim Down is part of her 30 Minutes to Fitness series, so it contains two 30 minute cardio + strength workouts that are tough but fun. Kelly alternates boxing combos with compound strength moves and really works you hard, giving you two total body workouts. Your heart … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Trim Down

30 Minutes to Fitness: LIFT

Wow. That is all I can say. Wow. If you are looking for something different, for something to really challenge you in a new way, LIFT  is the workout for you. As it is part of Kelly Coffey-Meyer's 30 Minutes to Fitness series, there are two workouts on this DVD. Though they are both excellent and challenging, … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: LIFT

Pure Burn Super Strength

Pure Burn Super Strength is part of Bob Harper's Inside Out Method series and it is an awesome and advanced total body strength workout. It is endurance metabolic strength work--lots of reps and there is definitely some cardio. I haven't done this workout in years but I do remember when I did it how exhausting … Continue reading Pure Burn Super Strength

Cardio Pump Fusion

Cardio Pump Fusion is a unique hybrid cardio workout created by Brook Benten. Several types of cardio are combined in this workout to get the heart pumping and keep you from getting bored. I would say this is intermediate level and the intensity is variable. Brook has two exercisers with her, one showing beginner modifications, one … Continue reading Cardio Pump Fusion
