H.I.5 (High Intensity 5)

HI 5 is Paul Katami's new workout. I actually have a lot of Paul's workouts on my wishlist, but for some reason I haven't purchased them yet. This one caught my eye, as did his other new one Kettlebell Krush. So I splurged and bought them both. HI 5 is an intense metabolic weight training … Continue reading H.I.5 (High Intensity 5)

Bodyweight Athletic Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 3)

Bodyweight Athletic Conditioning is Volume 3 in Michelle Dozois's new BodyFit 360 series and it is a toughie! Athletic Conditioning is very different from BodyFit 360 Volume 1. Very athletic and much more cardio, whereas Volume 1 was very PiYo-like. Now, don't get me wrong, these body weight workouts (PiYo and BodyFit 360 Vol 1) … Continue reading Bodyweight Athletic Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 3)

PiYo

PiYo is an interesting concept and one that I actually had zero interest in when it first appeared. However, the more I heard about it, the more intrigued I became. Plus, I really like Chalene Johnson. PiYo is a fusion of yoga and pilates into fluid movement. It is strength + cardio+ flexibility using only your body weight. … Continue reading PiYo

BodyFit 360 (Vol 1)

BodyFit 360 is one of Michelle Dozois new workouts. It came out the same time as Cardio Interval Burn Remix and Cardio Strength Remix. I pre-ordered those two, but at the time, had no interest in BodyFit 360. That has changed. I am about 2 months into Chalene Johnson's PiYo and loving it. It occurred … Continue reading BodyFit 360 (Vol 1)

Weider Ruthless

Weider Ruthless was discovered by accident. Actually, Amazon's practice of "recommending" things they think I might be interested in buying, based on my past purchases, things on my wishlist, things I browse, etc. is a pretty good method to get me to spend $$ as I have purchased several things because of their recommendations. This is … Continue reading Weider Ruthless

Play Ball

I really wanted to love this workout by Patrick Goudeau. Play Ball is described as a "30-minute total body blast [that] is jam-packed with fun" and all you need is a medicine ball. Well, I have 3 medicine balls--2 eight pounders and 1 four pounder that don't get enough play. And the fact that it is … Continue reading Play Ball

30 Minutes to Fitness: Muscle Up/Lift 2B Fit

Kelly Coffey-Meyer just came out with 2 new workouts in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series: Home Gym Intervals and Muscle Up/Lift 2B Fit. I pre-ordered them both and did them as soon as I received them (I was actually out of town when they arrived, so I didn't get to do them as soon … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Muscle Up/Lift 2B Fit

30 Minute to Fitness: Home Gym Intervals

Home Gym Intervals is one of Kelly Coffey-Meyer's newest 30 Minutes to Fitness workouts. I had it on pre-order and I wanted to do it as soon as it arrived, but I was actually out of town on vacation when it arrived so I wasn't able to give it a go until I got back … Continue reading 30 Minute to Fitness: Home Gym Intervals

Body Weight Blast

Wow! Another winner by Patrick Goudeau and I think this one is my new favorite! It is tough, fun and signature Patrick metabolic strength training. I think this is his best one yet. Don't let the title Body Weight Blast fool you--this is not a body weight only workout. In fact, he uses heavier dumbbells … Continue reading Body Weight Blast

30 Minutes to Fitness: Step Boxing

I almost didn't buy this step boxing workout. I bought Kelly Coffey-Meyer's original (non-30 Minutes to Fitness) Step Boxing workout and loved it. But I read some reviews that the choreography in this one was complicated, so I passed on it. I came back to look at the reviews again and I couldn't find them! … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Step Boxing
