Insanity: Max 30

The long awaited (for me at least) Insanity: Max 30 has arrived. I am a big Shaun T fan. I have Insanity and Asylum 1 (review of Asylum should go up in March--at least that is my current plan) but that is all. I didn't want to get Asylum 2 until I did Asylum 1 … Continue reading Insanity: Max 30

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)

Ripped with HIIT: Lift It Hit It Chest, Triceps & Shoulders

For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. Lift It Hit It Chest, Triceps & Shoulders humbled me. That workout was brutal. This was the final workout that I tried in the Ripped with HIIT program and I apparently saved the killer for last. I found a lot of the … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: Lift It Hit It Chest, Triceps & Shoulders

EFX: Postural Bodyweight Training

EFX was created by the master of bodyweight training Mark Lauren. I first discovered him when my daughter started college. She was a home workout buff like her mother and was was worried about how she would manage in college since she doesn't care for the gym environment. One of the many things I got her to help … Continue reading EFX: Postural Bodyweight Training

Kettlebell Krush

Kettlebell Krush is a new workout by the kettlebell master Paul Katami. It is a tough and effective metabolic strength training workout. And only 40 minutes! He packs a lot into 40 minutes! I really enjoyed both of Paul's new workouts; this one and H.I.5. Both are short but intense and so varied that they are … Continue reading Kettlebell Krush

H.I.5 (High Intensity 5)

HI 5 is Paul Katami's new workout. I actually have a lot of Paul's workouts on my wishlist, but for some reason I haven't purchased them yet. This one caught my eye, as did his other new one Kettlebell Krush. So I splurged and bought them both. HI 5 is an intense metabolic weight training … Continue reading H.I.5 (High Intensity 5)

Bodyweight Athletic Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 3)

Bodyweight Athletic Conditioning is Volume 3 in Michelle Dozois's new BodyFit 360 series and it is a toughie! Athletic Conditioning is very different from BodyFit 360 Volume 1. Very athletic and much more cardio, whereas Volume 1 was very PiYo-like. Now, don't get me wrong, these body weight workouts (PiYo and BodyFit 360 Vol 1) … Continue reading Bodyweight Athletic Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 3)
