Beginner’s Weight Loss Transformation
I bought Bob's Beginner's Weight Loss Transformation a long time ago--before I even started this blog. I was not a beginning exerciser back then but I was in the process of hoarding Bob Harper's workouts. I read the reviews of this workout and the consensus was that it was not a beginner workout. Bob's workouts are very … Continue reading Beginner’s Weight Loss Transformation
Beginner Shred

Step Cardio with Legs/Shoulders and Back
Step Cardio with Legs/Shoulders and Back is another excellent cardio + strength workout from Yvette Bachman. Though "back" is in the title, it didn't get a lot of work--at least compared to the work that legs and shoulders received. But it does get some work. I really enjoyed this workout. It is fun like all … Continue reading Step Cardio with Legs/Shoulders and Back
Step/Heavy Weights/Core Circuits
Step/Heavy Weights/Core Circuits is another awesome cardio + strength circuit workout from Yvette Bachman.

In fact, today's workout worked my chest and triceps and yesterday's workout worked my biceps, upper back and shoulders. So they work together … Continue reading Step/Heavy Weights/Core Circuits
