EFX: Postural Bodyweight Training

EFX was created by the master of bodyweight training Mark Lauren. I first discovered him when my daughter started college. She was a home workout buff like her mother and was was worried about how she would manage in college since she doesn't care for the gym environment. One of the many things I got her to help … Continue reading EFX: Postural Bodyweight Training →

Kettlebell Krush

Kettlebell Krush is a new workout by the kettlebell master Paul Katami. It is a tough and effective metabolic strength training workout. And only 40 minutes! He packs a lot into 40 minutes! I really enjoyed both of Paul's new workouts; this one and H.I.5. Both are short but intense and so varied that they are … Continue reading Kettlebell Krush →

30 Minutes to Fitness: Slim Sculpting

Slim Sculpting is Kelly Coffey-Meyer's latest offering in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series (she came out with another one as well: Athletic Conditioning) and I love it (as usual). Slim Sculpting is a metabolic strength workout using a kettlebell. I happen to love kettlebell workouts so I was very excited when Kelly announced this. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Slim Sculpting →

Bodyweight Dance Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 2)

I honestly did not expect to enjoy this workout as much as I did! I adore Michelle Dozois's new BodyFit 360 series! I have no rhythm and two left feet, so I was certain any workout with the word "dance" in it would end up being shelved after one try. But try it I did … Continue reading Bodyweight Dance Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 2) →

So you can do all 6 segments + warm up and cool down for a 69 minute workout or pick and choose to create the workout of your … Continue reading Turn Up and Slim Down →

H.I.5 (High Intensity 5)

HI 5 is Paul Katami's new workout. I actually have a lot of Paul's workouts on my wishlist, but for some reason I haven't purchased them yet. This one caught my eye, as did his other new one Kettlebell Krush. So I splurged and bought them both. HI 5 is an intense metabolic weight training … Continue reading H.I.5 (High Intensity 5) →

Body Beast

My review posts have slowed down, but that is because I have been doing the Body Beast program. I'm doing the entire program, so this review will not post until I am finished. First, what is Body Beast? Body Beast is a Beachbody Fitness Program. Beachbody's website describes it as the most advanced, muscle defining, … Continue reading Body Beast →

PiYo

PiYo is an interesting concept and one that I actually had zero interest in when it first appeared. However, the more I heard about it, the more intrigued I became. Plus, I really like Chalene Johnson. PiYo is a fusion of yoga and pilates into fluid movement. It is strength + cardio+ flexibility using only your body weight. … Continue reading PiYo →

BodyFit 360 (Vol 1)

BodyFit 360 is one of Michelle Dozois new workouts. It came out the same time as Cardio Interval Burn Remix and Cardio Strength Remix. I pre-ordered those two, but at the time, had no interest in BodyFit 360. That has changed. I am about 2 months into Chalene Johnson's PiYo and loving it. It occurred … Continue reading BodyFit 360 (Vol 1) →

Weider Ruthless

Weider Ruthless was discovered by accident. Actually, Amazon's practice of "recommending" things they think I might be interested in buying, based on my past purchases, things on my wishlist, things I browse, etc. is a pretty good method to get me to spend $$ as I have purchased several things because of their recommendations. This is … Continue reading Weider Ruthless →
