Staying Power is a 52:30 minute cardio + strength/metabolic workout by Tracie Long.

Stronger Longer Volume 2
Stronger Longer Volume 2 is another unique total body strength workout by Tracie Long. In the intro, she says when she turned 46 she felt stiff and didn't move as well as she wanted to. She felt something needed to change and apparently these Stronger Longer workouts address that. In less than a month I … Continue reading Stronger Longer Volume 2
Stronger Longer Volume 1
Stronger Longer Volume 1 is an excellent workout by Tracie Long. This (and Volume 2) are what inspired me to start looking at Tracie Long workouts again. I checked out one of her workouts several years ago (Figure 30: Hips), hated it and never bothered with her again. Recently I was perusing the library's workout DVDs when I … Continue reading Stronger Longer Volume 1
Lift & Shred
Lift & Shred contains Jillian Michael's only (so far!) pure weight lifting workouts. Most of her workouts are metabolic workouts--cardio + strength workouts done in fast circuits so that you cannot lift heavy but get intense cardio. I was very excited when this DVD came out but I had also just found out I had breast … Continue reading Lift & Shred
Focus: Kickback
I have only done one other Tracie Long workout: Figure 30: Hips, and I did not like it at all so I never bothered with any other Tracie Long workouts. But my library carries a lot of Tracie Long workouts. Every time I go to the library, I always peruse their workout DVD selection. Well, two … Continue reading Focus: Kickback
The Firm/Zip Trainer: Firm & Cardio
Firm & Cardio are the deluxe add on workouts available at the time the Zip Trainer program came out (see that review for more info on what a Zip Trainer is). This deluxe add on came with a 7 pound core ball but the core ball is no longer available, only the DVDs. Firm & … Continue reading The Firm/Zip Trainer: Firm & Cardio

30 Minutes to Fitness: Step Boxing 2
Step Boxing 2 is the newest offering from Kelly Coffey-Meyer in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series. I have been looking forward to doing Kelly's newest workouts for months but life circumstances kept me from trying them. But I have been feeling great for weeks now, so it was time to finally give them a … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Step Boxing 2
JessicaSmithTV: Upper Body Circuit Walk
I am doing great--recovering well from cancer treatment and regaining my strength and endurance. I am using Jessica Smith's 30 minute Walk On and Walk Strong workouts to help me get there.

Walk On: Metabolism Booster
Metabolism Booster is another collection of walking workouts from Jessica Smith. This one is a little different though--two of the walks incorporate strength training. It contains 4 workouts--2 cardio + strength workouts, one express total body strength workout and one bonus workout for stronger knees. There is no intro from Jessica explaining how she intends for you to … Continue reading Walk On: Metabolism Booster
