10 Minute Body Transformation

10 Minute Body Transformation is the latest collection of workouts on DVD by Jillian Michaels. This one is a little different from her other workouts. It contains 5 approximately 10 minute workouts, plus a separate warm up and  cool down that you can add onto the workout(s). I really, really loved this DVD. I've only … Continue reading 10 Minute Body Transformation

Boot Camp Body Blast

Boot Camp Body Blast is a new workout by Cathe Friedrich. Unlike her other workouts, it was not produced by her and it is not sold by her. It is sold through IDEA, a health and fitness association. They had a conference this year and Cathe taught a class to other trainers to teach them … Continue reading Boot Camp Body Blast

Bikini Body: Bootylicious

I am now a big fan of Tracey Mallett. After doing the fabulous F.I.T. and The Booty Barre: Total New Body, she is filling up my wishlist. Her workouts are hard, effective and she brings such a warm and personable presence to her workouts. She is encouraging and likable and I just love doing workouts … Continue reading Bikini Body: Bootylicious

Cathe Live: Lovin’ Those Legs

Lovin' those Legs is another excellent lower body workout from Cathe Live. If there is one thing Cathe never neglects, it is the lower body. Between DVDs and Live workouts, she has created a plethora of lower body workouts. And here is yet another one I love. I actually liked it a lot more than … Continue reading Cathe Live: Lovin’ Those Legs

30 Minutes to Fitness: Amped-Up Cardio

Amped-Up Cardio is a Live workout from Kelly Coffey-Meyer. It is not yet available for purchase on Amazon but you can get it at Total Fitness DVDs or on Kelly's website Coffeyfit. I'm not sure the reason this workout is live. I think she had a road trip like Cathe does and filmed one of … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Amped-Up Cardio

Cathe Live: Smokin’ Upper Body Blast

Smokin' Upper Body Blast was tough! Surprisingly tough! Excellent workout. I love cardio + strength workouts--especially when they isolate the upper body. There aren't a lot of those types of workouts out there (they are usually total body or lower body focused), so when I discover one, I glom it! And this is an especially … Continue reading Cathe Live: Smokin’ Upper Body Blast

Cathe Live: Butts & Guts

It's been a long time since I did the DVD version of this workout but I do remember really liking it and finding it very challenging. So, I did the DVD version on Saturday in preparation for doing this Live today. Although the live version does use some of the same exercises and works your lower … Continue reading Cathe Live: Butts & Guts

Cathe Live: Cross Fire Quick Fix + Core

All Cathe has to do is put "Cross Fire" in the title of a workout for me to need to try it. I love her Cross Fire DVD workout. I have loved it since the first time I did it and it is one of my favorite DVD workouts that I return to frequently. So … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cross Fire Quick Fix + Core

Cathe Live: Long and Strong Legs

I will admit that I did this workout more out of curiosity than anything else. Due to technical difficulties there is no class--just Cathe running this workout all by herself. I was intrigued! The forum post about it states one of the cameramen had a medical emergency so that is why this workout was filmed … Continue reading Cathe Live: Long and Strong Legs

Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio Leg Blast + Ball Upper Body

This was an excellent and unique total body cardio + strength workout. Cathe does a lot of cardio + strength workouts that focus on the lower body and they are always high impact, so I was very interested when I saw that the cardio blasts in this workout were low impact. Bonus! You get it … Continue reading Cathe Live: Low Impact Cardio Leg Blast + Ball Upper Body
