Leaning Out is another fabulous total body strength workout in Tracie Long's Longevity series. This workout was tough but doable, so high intermediate level with the right weights. The only exercise I had any problems with were the modified dive bomber push ups and that was mostly due to my shoulder problem. I was able … Continue reading Longevity: Leaning Out

Walk On: 3 DVD Superset
As the title implies, this collection has 3 DVDs and each DVD has two 30 minute workouts, so you get 6 workouts. These are more excellent Jessica Smith cardio walks to add to my collection. One of the oddest things that cancer treatment has done for me is make me love the cardio walks that … Continue reading Walk On: 3 DVD Superset
Fit Tower
The Fit Tower is a piece of exercise equipment from Cathe Friedrich. Though Cathe created and leads these workouts you cannot buy it from Cathe's website. You can get it from Amazon or from a special Fit Tower website. I never expected to buy the Fit Tower. A long time ago Cathe had a different Fit … Continue reading Fit Tower

This is the first time I noticed that. I checked … Continue reading Longevity: Staying Power

She felt something needed to change and apparently these Stronger Longer workouts address that. In less than a month I … Continue reading Stronger Longer Volume 2
Stronger Longer Volume 1
Stronger Longer Volume 1 is an excellent workout by Tracie Long. This (and Volume 2) are what inspired me to start looking at Tracie Long workouts again. I checked out one of her workouts several years ago (Figure 30: Hips), hated it and never bothered with her again. Recently I was perusing the library's workout DVDs when I … Continue reading Stronger Longer Volume 1
Focus: Lift Higher
Lift Higher is the first workout in Tracie Long's Focus series. From what she says in her intro, it appears she originally created 4 thirty minute workouts in the Focus series and if you use all 4 of them in a week, you will take care of everything. So far I have also done Kickback … Continue reading Focus: Lift Higher
