Body Shop is the first "pure strength" workout from Kelly Coffey-Meyer's 30 Minutes to Fitness series I've tried and I love it. I've done plenty of her circuit workouts and pure cardio workouts but in Body Shop, the only cardio you get is from the effort you put into the exercises. Body Shop contains 2 … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Body Shop

Hard Body
Hard Body is one of Jillian Michael's newer workouts (she just released another one, One Week Shred, which I had on pre-order and just received this weekend. I'll be reviewing it soon!). Hard Body consists of two cardio + strength workouts that are 45 and 50 minutes. Neither of them are beginner workouts. I would say Level 1, if you … Continue reading Hard Body
Lean, Hot Body
Wow. This workout is crazy intense. Patrick Goudeau is another new-to-me trainer and that man is a machine! This is an advanced metabolic strength training + HIIT workout with no down time. None. Your recovery is moving on to the next very challenging move. I really liked this workout. It is put together well with … Continue reading Lean, Hot Body
30 Minutes to Fitness: Bootcamp
Bootcamp is part of Kelly Coffey-Meyer's 30 Minutes to Fitness series that I have been obsessively collecting (yes, there are more 30 Minutes to Fitness reviews to come). Like Circuit Burn, I approached these workouts a little differently. Instead of doing the 30 minute workouts individually, the first time I did it, I did the premix that … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Bootcamp
Chiseled
Chiseled is a tough cardio + strength/metabolic strength training workout from Toby Massenburg. It is advanced, but very doable for all fitness levels. This is my second workout by Toby and what I like is how in both of his workouts that I've done, he incorporates just the right amount of recovery so you can … Continue reading Chiseled
Step Boxing
Ever since I discovered Kelly Coffey-Meyer and her 30 Minutes to Fitness series I have been buying up her workouts (so there is a lot more KCM reviews to come). This is the only one that I bought that isn't part of the 30 Minutes to Fitness collection. I was intrigued by the concept of … Continue reading Step Boxing
Extreme Shed & Shred
Extreme Shed & Shred is probably my favorite Jillian Michael's workout. I've had it for a long time but I haven't done it in a while. It contains two metabolic strength training workouts--Level 1 and Level 2. I love them both; however, the only one that might justify the title "Extreme" is Level 2. But … Continue reading Extreme Shed & Shred
Tabata Bootcamp with Toys
Just look at the title of this workout DVD? How could I resist? Tabata with Toys? A whole DVD devoted to tabata? I had to have it! Mindy Mylrea is new to me, so I didn't know what to expect. (**I started working my way through this DVD before I did Intensity Overload; however because … Continue reading Tabata Bootcamp with Toys
Intensity Overload: No Equipment Required
Mindy Mylrea is another of the many new-to-me trainers I am sampling. Thus far I have been extremely happy with the new trainers and I really like Mindy, too--but I am not completely thrilled with this DVD. I actually got two workouts by Mindy--this one and Tabata with Toys. I am loving Tabata with Toys, … Continue reading Intensity Overload: No Equipment Required
Get Extremely RIPPED! and Chiseled
Jari Love's newest offering Get Extremely Ripped and Chiseled was one of my Christmas presents. I am a big fan of Jari Love. HIIT and metabolic weight training are all the rage now, but she was doing both before they become popular. She was one of the forerunners of the most effective and advanced training … Continue reading Get Extremely RIPPED! and Chiseled
