Never has marketing sold me on a program as strongly as it has Meta Shred. I am familiar w/ BJ Gaddour from 10 Minute Torchers and though I liked him and his workouts, his name is not what sold me. I follow Men's Health on Facebook and the ad for Meta Shred kept popping up. I … Continue reading Meta Shred 21

Cathe Live: Kickbox Bootcamp
This was a very interesting workout. A few things to note upfront. This is the very first Cathe Live--and you can tell. This workout has issues. Second, on the Cathe Live page it is listed as "Bootcamp"; however, it is kickboxing bootcamp, so that is what I am calling it. I actually really liked this workout … Continue reading Cathe Live: Kickbox Bootcamp
Cathe Live: Cardio & Weights (upper body)
The (upper body) in the blog post title is not part of the actual title Cathe gave this workout; I just added it for my own information. It is a Cathe Live workout called Cardio & Weights and I love it. Yet another excellent cardio + strength workout from Cathe and I especially love that … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio & Weights (upper body)
Cathe Live: Ripped with HIIT Scrambler
I love Ripped w/ HIIT workouts. So when I saw this "scrambler" I had to try it. I was hoping for a total body strength + HIIT workout. I didn't quite get it here. Here is Cathe's description of this workout: Ripped With Hiit Scrambler With Step LIVE is a mix of RWH Lower Body … Continue reading Cathe Live: Ripped with HIIT Scrambler
Cathe Live: Cross Train Lower Body
Wow--this was a more intense Cathe Live workout than I expected. For some reason I did not expect this to be so cardio intensive (even tho she says there is cardio in the workout description on her forum). It is strength + cardio and it is also contrast training. Overall more challenging than I expected. … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cross Train Lower Body
Cathe Live: Kickboxing & Compound Weights
Kickboxing & Compound Weights is another great Cathe Live kickboxing workout. Intense and fun. It is set up in Cathe's standard cardio kickboxing/boxing structure--combos alternated with cardio blasts. Overall it wasn't too complicated but she did have one rather complex punching combo that was even giving her problems! Cathe kept messing up her own combo. That's … Continue reading Cathe Live: Kickboxing & Compound Weights
Cathe Live: Cardio Leg Blast w/ High Step
This was a super tough Cathe Live workout! It wasn't exactly what I expected but it definitely fried my legs. Due to the title I was expecting the workout to alternate between cardio and strength but that's not how it played out at all. It started with cardio then went to very intense metabolic work … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Leg Blast w/ High Step
The Master’s Hammer & Chisel
When Hammer & Chisel was first announced I was so excited! I loved Body Beast so when I saw Sagi was coming out with a new strength training program I planned to purchase it as soon as it was available. They initially announced it via a cryptic trailer several months before it was released and showed … Continue reading The Master’s Hammer & Chisel
Method Express
The Method Express contains six approximately 10 minute workouts by Tracy Anderson. I chose to try this because I am a big fan of Tracy's lower body work but she never chapters. This actually has things broken down into 10 minute blocks--so it is similar to chaptering. I can go to whatever body part I … Continue reading Method Express
Killer Arms & Back
Killer Arms & Back is the 4rd (and final) workout collection in Jillian Michael's Killer series. The other 3 workout collections in the series are Killer Abs, Killer Buns & Thighs and Killer Body. This DVD contains 3 approximately 30 minute workouts that work the entire upper body--not just the arms and back. And since this … Continue reading Killer Arms & Back
