Your Best Body Circuit

Your Best Body Circuit was fun for a lot of reasons. It is one of Michelle Dozois's older workouts and boy, she has come a long way. It's as if the idea for her Peak 10 Cardio Strength workouts was hovering around her mind, but clearly not there yet. Let me start at the beginning. … Continue reading Your Best Body Circuit

Get Ripped to the Core

Get Ripped to the Core is one of Jari Love's older workouts, but it is a good one. The focus of this workout is high rep compound exercises. This workout is put together very nicely and if you choose your weights wisely, it is an excellent total body metabolic strength workout that hits every muscle … Continue reading Get Ripped to the Core

Kettlebell Cardio Shred

Kettlebell Cardio Shred is part of Bob Harper’s Inside Out Method series and yet another excellent workout. I love kettlebell workouts but I think I love Bob Harper’s best. He doesn’t have that many—only two and a short 30 minute one that comes with his kettlebells but, as usual, Bob gives you an excellent workout. … Continue reading Kettlebell Cardio Shred

30 Minutes to Fitness: Trim Down

I absolutely adore this workout by Kelly Coffey-Meyer. Trim Down is part of her 30 Minutes to Fitness series, so it contains two 30 minute cardio + strength workouts that are tough but fun. Kelly alternates boxing combos with compound strength moves and really works you hard, giving you two total body workouts. Your heart … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Trim Down

30 Minutes to Fitness: Weights

Weights is just another reason why I am so thankful I discovered Kelly Coffey-Meyer. Weights alone is an awesome and versatile little collection of workouts! It is really pretty impressive. I've gone through most of my other new-to-me 30 Minutes to Fitness workouts (not all, but most) and I have recently been trying her pure strength … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Weights

Pure Burn Super Strength

Pure Burn Super Strength is part of Bob Harper's Inside Out Method series and it is an awesome and advanced total body strength workout. It is endurance metabolic strength work--lots of reps and there is definitely some cardio. I haven't done this workout in years but I do remember when I did it how exhausting … Continue reading Pure Burn Super Strength

30 Minute to Fitness: TLC

TLC stands for Train Like a Contender, which translates into this being a boxing series--or at least having one boxing workout on it. It is part of the 30 Minutes to Fitness series which means there are two 30 minute workouts on the DVD. One is boxing and one is conditioning; they're both cardio. No … Continue reading 30 Minute to Fitness: TLC

30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Training

Body Training is a unique duo of workouts by Kelly Coffey-Meyer that really surprised me. I was on the fence about getting it, but I've become so obsessed with her workouts that I want all of them (well, almost all; there are a few I probably will never buy), so I just bought it. I … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Training

Raise Some Bell: Ultimate Kettlebell Workout

I'm a big fan of Amy Dixon's Breathless Body workouts so when I saw she had a new kettlebell workout I decided to give it a try. I really liked it! It was challenging and fun and I feel I got a great metabolic strength workout. This is not a workout for those new to … Continue reading Raise Some Bell: Ultimate Kettlebell Workout

One Week Shred

Jillian Michael's One Week Shred is her newest workout collection and it is tough. The concept behind One Week Shred is if you need a "crash" weight loss plan for some upcoming event--this DVD provides the workouts and the diet plan to get ready for it. There are two workouts. An AM Strength workout that is … Continue reading One Week Shred
