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.

Paul Katami Burn & Build

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

Abs & Push Ups Plus is another body-weight only workout by Ilaria Montagnani.
