Step Cardio with Legs/Shoulders and Back

Step Cardio with Legs/Shoulders and Back is another excellent cardio + strength workout from Yvette Bachman. Though "back" is in the title, it didn't get a lot of work--at least compared to the work that legs and shoulders received. But it does get some work. I really enjoyed this workout. It is fun like all … Continue reading Step Cardio with Legs/Shoulders and Back

HIIT/Heavy Weights/Stability Ball

HIIT/Heavy Weights/Stability Ball is another one of Yvette Bachman's long but excellent workouts. But luckily it has two distinct parts so it is easy to cut this down to approximately an hour in length. It is primarily strength + cardio but there is also a good bit of stability ball cardio/core/hamstring work at the end. … Continue reading HIIT/Heavy Weights/Stability Ball

HIIT, Step, Heavy Leg (& Bicep) Work

The title of this workout is actually HIIT, Step, Heavy Leg Work but I added the word bicep because you get as much bicep work as you do leg work. And I wouldn't classify the leg work as heavy though the bicep work is. This is one of Yvette Bachman's longer workouts--76 minutes! But like … Continue reading HIIT, Step, Heavy Leg (& Bicep) Work

Step Cardio Blasts/Biceps

Step Cardio Blast/Biceps is an all step cardio workout with a 5 minute bicep strength bonus at the very end (almost like a cool down before the stretch). Just like all of Yvette Bachman's workouts, I really enjoyed this. There is no complicated step choreography. Everything is easy to perform but it is a great … Continue reading Step Cardio Blasts/Biceps

Step/Heavy Weights/Core Circuits

Step/Heavy Weights/Core Circuits is another awesome cardio + strength circuit workout from Yvette Bachman. In fact, it is very similar to her circuit workout that I did yesterday: Moderate Impact & Heavy Weights. In fact, today's workout worked my chest and triceps and yesterday's workout worked my biceps, upper back and shoulders. So they work together … Continue reading Step/Heavy Weights/Core Circuits

Moderate Impact & Heavy Weights

Moderate Impact & Heavy Weights is another excellent workout from Yvette Bachman. This is a circuit based cardio + strength workout. Each circuit contains 1 minute cardio followed by 8-12 reps of strength training followed by 30 seconds of core. You keep repeating that circuit the entire workout until the very end in which you … Continue reading Moderate Impact & Heavy Weights

Fit Split

Fit Split is Cathe's newest fitness program, similar to her 4 Day Split and Cross Train Express programs. Fit Split contains 4 workouts. Each workout is part cardio, part strength. It also contains a bonus core workout and lots of premixes so you can approach these workouts in different ways. The workouts are not sold … Continue reading Fit Split

HIIT, Cardio Step/Circuit Heavy Weights

HIIT, Cardio Step/Circuit Heavy Weights is yet another excellent, fun and effective workout from Yvette Bachman. It is one of her longer ones (69 minutes) but it is done in sections so it can easily be shortened and used for my weekday morning workout (Yay!). After the warm up, the first part of the workout … Continue reading HIIT, Cardio Step/Circuit Heavy Weights

HIIT Training & Muscle Building

HIIT Training & Muscle Building is yet another amazing workout from Yvette Bachman. She creates my absolute favorite types of workouts--strength + cardio, but she does them better than anyone else because her strength work is frequently heavy strength work. So you can get some serious strength work combined with cardio if you really challenge … Continue reading HIIT Training & Muscle Building
