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: 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
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
Element: Cardio & Conditioning Yoga
I happened to be browsing the workout DVDs at the library and I saw they had a few brand new DVDs--workouts that had just been released in December 2015! Element's Cardio Conditioning Yoga was one of them. Since I am so enamored of most the Element workouts I've done so far, I decided to give … Continue reading Element: Cardio & Conditioning Yoga
Kettlebell Drills
Kettlebell Drills by Paul Katami is a great kettlebell workout collection. It contains a 35 minute clinic in which Paul teaches you kettlebell basics such as the different grips and 15 kettlebell exercises. It was not as easy as I expected it to be, either. Yes, you get long breaks as he teaches and demonstrates … Continue reading Kettlebell Drills
ICE: Intermediate Conditioning Extreme
ICE is Cathe's latest fitness program. ICE is an acronym that stands for Intermediate Conditioning Extreme. Now, Cathe is my #1 favorite trainer and an auto-buy for me but I will not lie, when I first learned that this was intermediate level I was disappointed. I love Cathe's advanced workouts (and the majority of her workouts are … Continue reading ICE: Intermediate Conditioning Extreme
ICE: Boot Camp Circuit
Boot Camp Circuit is a fun, intermediate level total body metabolic strength + cardio workout. I really enjoyed it. However, it is definitely a step down from Cathe's original Bootcamp workout as well as her Drill Max. Having done all of the ICE workouts at least once, I would rate this one as the most … Continue reading ICE: Boot Camp Circuit
ICE: Chiseled Upper Body
Chiseled Upper Body is part of Cathe's ICE fitness program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Like all of the other ICE workouts I've done so far, I have automatically lifted heavier weights than Cathe to get the most out of the workouts. This one seemed obvious. The weight of the dumbbells Cathe used seems to be the primary way … Continue reading ICE: Chiseled Upper Body
ICE: Metabolic Total Body
Metabolic Total Body is an excellent metabolic strength training workout. It is part of Cathe's ICE fitness program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Like Low Impact Sweat, I didn't find this workout as easy as I expected. The "intermediate" is deceiving. However, I did automatically lift heavier than Cathe on every single exercise. That is one of the aspects … Continue reading ICE: Metabolic Total Body
15 Minutes to Fit by Zuzka Light
Reviewing a book on my blog is a new thing for me, but since this is a fitness blog and 15 Minutes to Fitness is a fitness book, I decided it was a good idea. So this may be the first of several fitness book reviews since I not only purchase lots of workout DVDs, … Continue reading 15 Minutes to Fit by Zuzka Light
