Cathe Live: Body Works

Body Works is an interesting Cathe Live workout. I did like it, but I have noticed something about the most recent Live workouts I've been doing. They are not terribly intense. They seem to be more intermediate level workouts. I do enjoy them and I am still getting good workouts but I don't feel like … Continue reading Cathe Live: Body Works

Cathe Live: Rock Body Boot Camp

Another bootcamp workout from Cathe Live! I really enjoyed this workout but it definitely was not her most intense. I did use it for a metabolic cardio day workout but even the cardio/metabolic aspect wasn't super intense. But it was still a good workout and worked well for a Sunday when I normally try to … Continue reading Cathe Live: Rock Body Boot Camp

Cathe Live: Circuit Works Plus Barre & Core

Circuit Works Plus Barre & Core is another fun, effective and excellent workout that is unique to Cathe Live. You get it all in this workout: cardio, barre, core and total body strength training. Now, I will say it isn't the most thorough strength training workout and, because of the brisk pace, you cannot lift … Continue reading Cathe Live: Circuit Works Plus Barre & Core

Cathe Live: Body Blast Boot Camp

Body Blast Boot Camp appears to be based on the Strong & Sweaty series Boot Camp workout. That is an excellent bootcamp workout and so is this one. It is intense and fun. I like to use these bootcamp workouts more as metabolic cardio workouts rather than strength training, so I used the same weight … Continue reading Cathe Live: Body Blast Boot Camp

Cathe Live: Smokin’ Lower Body

Smokin' Lower Body is an excellent and tough lower body workout. It worked me hard. Very fast paced so I was breathing hard, sweating hard and my Fitbit said I was in my peak heart rate a few times. And I still feel it in my glutes! Lots of deadlifts, which I love, so bonus. … Continue reading Cathe Live: Smokin’ Lower Body

MetaShred Extreme

Since I loved B.J. Gaddour's MetaShred 21, I was very excited when he announced the next level--MetaShred Extreme. My husband pre-ordered it for me as a birthday gift. I had already impulse purchased B.J.'s DeltFit Speed Shred and that has been sitting on my shelf for several months. The original plan was to do DeltaFit first, … Continue reading MetaShred Extreme

Ignite by Spri 900 Calorie Burn

900 Calorie Burn is another workout from Ignite by Spri. This one is led by celebrity trainer Ashley Borden. Her little bio on the back of the DVD states she has trained Ryan Gosling and Christina Aquilera. I went to her website and she has also trained 9x UFC Champion Matt Hughes and many others. Impressive. I almost … Continue reading Ignite by Spri 900 Calorie Burn

Ignite by Spri Hi-Intensity

Ignite by Spri Hi-Intensity is a collection of 4 workouts led by Brett Hoebell that are each approximately 25 minutes long. They are supposed to be super intense 25 minute workouts--in fact 3 of them have HIIT in the title. HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training; however, I did not find any of these … Continue reading Ignite by Spri Hi-Intensity

Cathe Live: Total Body HIIT

Another excellent total body cardio + strength workout from Cathe Live. This one is set up in 7 rounds or circuits. Each round starts with a cardio move then moves on to strength training. Each round works both the upper and the lower body and sometimes also gives you a compound/4 limb move. Overall, very … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body HIIT

Black Fire

I remember when Bob Harper first announced the Black Fire fitness program. I was so excited! Then I found out it would not be offered on DVD. You have to subscribe to Daily Burn and stream it. I was not only very disappointed but I assumed I would never try it unless it was eventually put on … Continue reading Black Fire
