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

Get Ripped 1000
I love this workout. I haven't done it in years, but I always think of it fondly. One of my all time favorite workouts. I remember when I discovered Jari Love with Get Ripped Slim & Lean, then Get Ripped to the Core. They were so very challenging for me at the time and I … Continue reading Get Ripped 1000

Another super tough metabolic weight training workout. I especially needed something like this today--the day after Thanksgiving when … Continue reading A.S.A.P Hollywood Bootcamp 4×4
Atletica Vol. 2
Ilaria Montagnani has come out with several new workouts. Because of my Cathe obsession it has taken me a while to get to them, but I'm working on it! Today was Atletica Vol. 2.

Wow. This workout was really tough. Really tough. Burn & Build is my introduction to Paul Katami's workouts. I heard he was advanced and knows his kettlebells.

X10
***Updated 10/17/13 X10 is INSANE! I don't even know how to describe it. But I will try. X10 is a mix and match conglomeration. It contains five "10 minute" segments. NONE of these are actually 10 minutes--they are all longer, but we'll get to that in a moment. It also contains a warm up … Continue reading X10
Flex Train
Cathe's new workouts finally arrived! Flex Train is a total body strength workout. It is high rep/low weight. I really, really like this workout; however I would put it at intermediate level, which is a little unusual for Cathe who usually does advanced level workouts. I do add a caveat to this. It is intermediate for … Continue reading Flex Train

Before I get … Continue reading 10 Minute Solution: High Intensity Interval Training
