When I saw the title of this workout, I was anticipating a lower body workout. This is much more than that. This is actually a total body strength workout with a heavy lower body focus--and as the title suggests, a lot of deadlifts. But you do work all of your major upper body muscle groups … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Deadweight Legs

Fit Body by Julia: PHAT #3
With PHAT #3 I have now done all of Julia's PHAT workouts (though they were all created by Jori, Julia performs them on her YouTube channel Fit Body by Julia and makes some modifications to Jori's workout). Like all of the PHAT workouts I really enjoyed this. It was an excellent total body metabolic strength … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: PHAT #3

Legs (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio
Leg (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio was an incredible workout. I loved it! This is the second workout I've done by Yvette Bachman and it feels like I am rediscovering Cathe (and Cathe Live) for the first time. I am not implying that she creates Cathe-like workouts. Yvette's workouts are her own creation … Continue reading Legs (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio

Interval Barre Fusion is actually a 3 DVD series but the only DVD I purchased is the one for the lower body (there is also an upper body DVD and a core DVD).

JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Dance Sculpt
Cardio Dance Sculpt is was a surprisingly excellent metabolic strength workout. I did not know what to expect but with the word "dance" in the title, I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. But it is created and led by Jessica Smith--which is why I tried it. With the right … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Dance Sculpt
Barlates: Stretch Flex Tone Lower
Stretch Flex Tone Lower is a workout that I purchased directly from Linda Wooldridge via her website. She also has a series DVD that has 3 Stretch Flex Tone workouts but since I was only interested in the lower body workout, that's all I ordered. FYI--when you order directly from Linda, she will put multiple … Continue reading Barlates: Stretch Flex Tone Lower

Old School Series is a collection of 4 strength workouts by Linda Wooldridge in which she has you lifting heavier weights than what she normally uses in her workouts (she usually uses 1-2 pound hand weights or body weight). She never goes super heavy in these workouts, but they are also pretty high rep workouts. You … Continue reading Barlates: Old School Series
