Insanity: Asylum Volume 1

I have actually had Asylum Volume 1 for several years. I got it for my birthday right around the same time I rediscovered Cathe, which put a halt to me doing any other program for a long time. However, over the past year I have been doing workouts by other trainers and programs, and I am finally … Continue reading Insanity: Asylum Volume 1

Bodyweight Training

Bodyweight Training is another little collection by Mark Lauren. After doing (and loving) EFX, YAYOG and Mobility RX, I couldn't resist. This one, however, appears to only be featured on Amazon. Mark's website doesn't mention it or offer it. A little odd. But that didn't stop me from buying it! These workouts are based on his … Continue reading Bodyweight Training

Tapout XT 2

Tapout XT 2 is Tapout XT 1 kicked up a notch. They are both similar--same concept, same trainer (Mike Karpenko)--so for more information on the Tapout XT workouts in general, see Tapout XT 1's review (or at least the first part, before the workout breakdowns). As mentioned in that review, I have been wanting these workouts … Continue reading Tapout XT 2

Tapout XT

I have been wanting the Tapout XT workouts for a very long time but they were expensive (according to their website the program is cheaper now than it used to be, but still more than I want to pay). It wasn't until I rediscovered ebay that I finally got them. I paid far less for my copies … Continue reading Tapout XT

You Are Your Own Gym (YAYOG)

After doing Mark Lauren's EFX and reading his books (You Are Your Own Gym and Body By You), I had to get the rest of his DVDs. This series/program is based on his book with the same title: You Are Your Own Gym or YAYOG for short (he also has an app based on his … Continue reading You Are Your Own Gym (YAYOG)

Ripped with HIIT: Low Impact HIIT

For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. Had I come to this workout by itself, without having purchased and done other Ripped with HIIT workouts as part of a rotation, I might have been a bit disappointed in this workout, primarily because it has the word "HIIT" in the … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: Low Impact HIIT

30 Minutes to Fitness: Athletic Conditioning

Kelly Coffey-Meyer recently came out with two new workouts: Athletic Conditioning and Slim Sculpting. They are both part of her 30 Minutes to Fitness series, but the one I am reviewing here appears to be launching a new series within a series. It is subtitled "Young Adult Series" and the title Athletic Conditioning is actually Volume … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Athletic Conditioning

Bodyweight Dance Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 2)

I honestly did not expect to enjoy this workout as much as I did! I adore Michelle Dozois's new BodyFit 360 series! I have no rhythm and two left feet, so I was certain any workout with the word "dance" in it would end up being shelved after one try. But try it I did … Continue reading Bodyweight Dance Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 2)

So you can do all 6 segments + warm up and cool down for a 69 minute workout or pick and choose to create the workout of your … Continue reading Turn Up and Slim Down
