Mark Lauren came out with another body weight strength training program based on his book You Are Your Own Gym (YAYOG). I love everything Mark Lauren creates so I snapped this up as soon as I saw it. Volume 2 is set up just like his first DVD YAYOG program. The program has 3 levels: … Continue reading You Are Your Own Gym Volume 2 (YAYOG-2)

Black Fire
I remember when Bob Harper first announced the Black Fire fitness program. I was so excited! Then I found out it would not be offered on DVD. You have to subscribe to Daily Burn and stream it. I was not only very disappointed but I assumed I would never try it unless it was eventually put on … Continue reading Black Fire
Strong & Sweaty: PHA Training
Of all of Cathe's new workouts in the Strong & Sweaty Series I was most excited about this one (with Total Body Giant Sets a close second). First let me explain what PHA Training is. It stands for Peripheral Heart Action Training. Cathe defines it as: "You'll alternate from lower body to upper body with … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: PHA Training
Strong & Sweaty: Bootcamp
Another bootcamp workout from Cathe. I love bootcamp workouts so I was looking forward to this one. I love her Boot Camp Body Blast and her original Bootcamp workout, as well as her Cathe Live bootcamp workouts. The ICE Boot Camp Circuit workout was a bit of a disappointment for me because it was so easy … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: Bootcamp
Strong & Sweaty: Ramped Up Upper Body
I was very excited about Ramped Up Upper Body (actually, I am excited about all of the Strong & Sweaty workouts for various reasons). When I do splits I prefer full splits--as in upper body and lower body. Cathe rarely does that on DVD. She does lots and lots of lower body workouts, but her … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: Ramped Up Upper Body
Strong & Sweaty: Total Body Giant Sets
I was pretty excited about Cathe's latest workout releases since she did similar Cathe Live workouts. At least, judging from the titles. And I love those particular Live workouts. On 6/30/16 she did a Live workout titled Total Body Giant Sets. Yep--the exact same title as this DVD. I adore the live Total Body Giant … Continue reading Strong & Sweaty: Total Body Giant Sets
Focus 15
Focus 15 contains 3 body weight workouts from Mark Lauren. The "15" in the title indicates the length of the workouts, but they are all longer than 15 minutes, even without the warm up and cool downs, and approx. 30 minutes with those. However, just like in his other workouts, Mark demonstrates every exercise you will … Continue reading Focus 15
No More Trouble Zones
I have had this workout a very long time. I have done it before, too, but oddly, I remembered very little about it. It has been that long since I did it. I probably purchased it as soon as it was released in 2009, did it a few times and for some reason moved on. I did … Continue reading No More Trouble Zones
Riptensity
Riptensity is a body weight training system put out by Men's Health. It was created and led by Gideon Akande. He has a very impressive background but I was most excited because he was a crew member in Meta Shred 21! In fact, he was the advanced modifier! His other claims to fame are being … Continue reading Riptensity
Get Your Body Back
Get Your Body Back is another Tracey Mallett workout. The theme of this workout is to "lose the baby fat"--but trust me, this workout is not just for new moms. This workout is excellent for anyone. There are a lot of ways you can approach this workout. If you are new to exercise for any … Continue reading Get Your Body Back
