Body Training is a unique duo of workouts by Kelly Coffey-Meyer that really surprised me. I was on the fence about getting it, but I've become so obsessed with her workouts that I want all of them (well, almost all; there are a few I probably will never buy), so I just bought it. I … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Training

30 MInutes to Fitness: Muscle Definition
Muscle Definition is another pure strength workout collection from Kelly Coffey-Meyer in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series. It contains two workouts and a bonus abdominal workout. Overall, I have to say that these are excellent and impressive strength workouts--very challenging and well done. If you use heavy enough weights I would even put this … Continue reading 30 MInutes to Fitness: Muscle Definition
30 Minutes to Fitness: Split Sessions
Split Sessions is the second pure strength workout by Kelly Coffey-Meyer that I've tried and I am impressed. I loved Body Shop for what it was: total body workouts. But this is what the title says it is: split series and it does it very well. In fact, I was able to go pretty heavy … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Split Sessions
Raise Some Bell: Ultimate Kettlebell Workout
I'm a big fan of Amy Dixon's Breathless Body workouts so when I saw she had a new kettlebell workout I decided to give it a try. I really liked it! It was challenging and fun and I feel I got a great metabolic strength workout. This is not a workout for those new to … Continue reading Raise Some Bell: Ultimate Kettlebell Workout
One Week Shred
Jillian Michael's One Week Shred is her newest workout collection and it is tough. The concept behind One Week Shred is if you need a "crash" weight loss plan for some upcoming event--this DVD provides the workouts and the diet plan to get ready for it. There are two workouts. An AM Strength workout that is … Continue reading One Week Shred
Tonique 2
Tonique is a unique series of workouts created by Sylwia Wiesenberg. These workouts were recommended to me as advanced workouts, so I, of course, quickly ordered one to check it out for myself. I found the descriptions of the workouts a little odd; they didn't really give me the information I am looking for when … Continue reading Tonique 2
30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Shop
Body Shop is the first "pure strength" workout from Kelly Coffey-Meyer's 30 Minutes to Fitness series I've tried and I love it. I've done plenty of her circuit workouts and pure cardio workouts but in Body Shop, the only cardio you get is from the effort you put into the exercises. Body Shop contains 2 … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Shop
Rapid Fire: Kick, Box and Core Burn
Rapid Fire: Kick, Box and Core Burn is actually Rapid Fire 1--the first in the series by Susan Chung. I so enjoyed Rapid Fire 3 & Rapid Fire 4 that I decided I must have them all, so I am slowly accumulating them. I only have one more to purchase after this: Rapid Fire 2: … Continue reading Rapid Fire: Kick, Box and Core Burn
Hard Body
Hard Body is one of Jillian Michael's newer workouts (she just released another one, One Week Shred, which I had on pre-order and just received this weekend. I'll be reviewing it soon!). Hard Body consists of two cardio + strength workouts that are 45 and 50 minutes. Neither of them are beginner workouts. I would say Level 1, if you … Continue reading Hard Body
30 Day Shred
30 Day Shred is old school Jillian Michaels. Not old, old school--I sold those DVDs on Amazon a long time ago--but this is when her workouts started getting really good and really effective. 30 Day Shred came out in 2008 and I bought it right when it came out. I found it very tough in … Continue reading 30 Day Shred
