Cathe Live: Total Body Band & Glide

Total Body Band & Glide is an interesting Live workout. It is a total body workout using only a resistance band and sliding disks. It is a pretty good workout. I did enjoy it. Not your usual strength training, but a nice departure from the norm. A good way to mix things up. Personally, I prefer … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Band & Glide

Cathe Live: Metabolic Circuit Blast

Metabolic Circuit Blast is a very intense HIIT/metabolic strength training workout and I love it! Cathe Live workouts almost never disappoint!

Cathe Live: Cardio & Weights (upper body)

The (upper body) in the blog post title is not part of the actual title Cathe gave this workout; I just added it for my own information. It is a Cathe Live workout called Cardio & Weights and I love it. Yet another excellent cardio + strength workout from Cathe and I especially love that … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio & Weights (upper body)

The Master’s Hammer & Chisel

When Hammer & Chisel was first announced I was so excited! I loved Body Beast so when I saw Sagi was coming out with a new strength training program I planned to purchase it as soon as it was available. They initially announced it via a cryptic trailer several months before it was released and showed … Continue reading The Master’s Hammer & Chisel

ICE: Intermediate Conditioning Extreme

ICE is Cathe's latest fitness program. ICE is an acronym that stands for Intermediate Conditioning Extreme. Now, Cathe is my #1 favorite trainer and an auto-buy for me but I will not lie, when I first learned that this was intermediate level I was disappointed. I love Cathe's advanced workouts (and the majority of her workouts are … Continue reading ICE: Intermediate Conditioning Extreme

Pretty Fierce: Lean Out

**Note: since I am doing two related systems together the first few paragraphs in both reviews are similar. Pretty Fierce: Lean Out is the other fitness program I purchased by new-to-me trainer Lindsay Brin. She has a DVD series titled MIF/Mom's Into Fitness. I bought two of her programs, Pretty Fierce: Weight Loss and this one because … Continue reading Pretty Fierce: Lean Out

Edge Booty Extreme 2

I discovered this workout system from Oxygen Magazine--they sent me a sales email. I was immediately intrigued. I am getting ready to start another round of STS in September and I am planning on adding additional glute focus. I have already tried The Butt Bible for that purpose and loved it, so I decided I … Continue reading Edge Booty Extreme 2

All Pump Extreme

All Pump Extreme is another great strength workout from Amy Bento! She doesn't have a lot of pure strength workouts but I think I have sussed them all out. It looks like her strength workouts consist of Drop Set Strength, Slo Mo Strength Challenge, All Pump Extreme and All Pump. It looks like she has … Continue reading All Pump Extreme
