For more information on STS see STS Overview and Prep This is the last trio of workouts in Mesocycle 2 and boy are they tough. The weeks get a little wonky here because I had a mishap/injury.

Abs & Push Ups Plus
Abs & Push Ups Plus is another body-weight only workout by Ilaria Montagnani. As I mentioned in the Atletica 4 review, I purchased these two body-weight only workouts for my daughter who is leaving for college and moving into the dorms. She works out like I do--using my 100s of workout DVDs. However, even if … Continue reading Abs & Push Ups Plus
Atletica 4: Body Weight Training
Atletica 4 is another tough and unique workout by Ilaria Montagnani. This one is only 30 minutes but she burns you out in that short amount of time. Prior to 2012, Ilaria only had one Atletica (Atletica Vol 1) workout available and I love it. However in 2012 she came out with a flush of … Continue reading Atletica 4: Body Weight Training

Total Body Transformation
Bob Harper’s Total Body Transformation is a cardio + strength workout. It is primarily metabolic weight training but it gives your shoulders and your lower body some serious work. This DVD contains two workouts. The full 60 minute workout and a short 14 minute workout. Both are brutal. The problem, however, is that Bob continuously … Continue reading Total Body Transformation
STS Weeks 10 & 11 (Workouts 13, 14 & 15)
For more information on the STS program see STS Overview and Prep. I have now entered Mesocycle #2—hypertrophy. And it is clearly a different animal from the outset. First, Mesocycle #1 was endurance and focused on circuit training with brief rests between exercises—you alternated between muscle groups and kept moving constantly. In Mesocycle #2 … Continue reading STS Weeks 10 & 11 (Workouts 13, 14 & 15)
Bob’s Workout
"Bob's Workout" is part of Bob Harper's Inside Out Method workouts and to take it a step further, according to Bob, these are the workouts he does when he works out. I am assuming that they were the workouts that he did in 2010--but now, he is a crossfit junkie and he probably does much … Continue reading Bob’s Workout
