Cathe Live: Cardio Leg Blast w/ High Step

This was a super tough Cathe Live workout! It wasn't exactly what I expected but it definitely fried my legs. Due to the title I was expecting the workout to alternate between cardio and strength but that's not how it played out at all. It started with cardio then went to very intense metabolic work … Continue reading Cathe Live: Cardio Leg Blast w/ High Step

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

30 Minutes to Fitness: Strength & Stamina

Strength & Stamina is Kelly Coffey-Meyer's other new workout DVD in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series. The other one that was recently released is Athletic Conditioning 2, which I did and reviewed yesterday. Consensus is--they are both awesome workouts! Just like all of her 30 Minute to Fitness DVDs, this one contains 2 approx. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Strength & Stamina

30 Minutes to Fitness: Athletic Conditioning Volume 2

Athletic Conditioning Vol 2 is the second volume in Kelly Coffey-Meyer's Athletic Conditioning series. They are a "young adult series" within her 30 Minutes to Fitness series that was apparently created to help young people stay in shape in their off season. This was explained in Volume 1. Volume 2 just carries the title and … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Athletic Conditioning Volume 2

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

ICE: Chiseled Lower Body Blast

Chiseled Lower Body Blast is a great workout. I loved it. It is one of my favorite types of workouts--cardio + strength in which strength work is alternated with cardio blasts. However, it is part of the ICE fitness program and ICE stands for Intermediate Conditioning Extreme, so this is not as intense as Cathe's … Continue reading ICE: Chiseled Lower Body Blast

ICE: Rock’m Sock’m Kickbox

Another great and surprising workout from Cathe's ICE program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Rock'm Sock'm Kickbox was more intense than I was expecting it to be. I would say this is even more intense than Cathe's Rockout Knockout. I didn't think it would be either. The long warm up was rather low key and contained zero … Continue reading ICE: Rock’m Sock’m Kickbox

ICE: Boot Camp Circuit

Boot Camp Circuit is a fun, intermediate level total body metabolic strength + cardio workout. I really enjoyed it. However, it is definitely a step down from Cathe's original Bootcamp workout as well as her Drill Max. Having done all of the ICE workouts at least once, I would rate this one as the most … Continue reading ICE: Boot Camp Circuit

ICE: Chiseled Upper Body

Chiseled Upper Body is part of Cathe's ICE fitness program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Like all of the other ICE workouts I've done so far, I have automatically lifted heavier weights than Cathe to get the most out of the workouts. This one seemed obvious. The weight of the dumbbells Cathe used seems to be the primary way … Continue reading ICE: Chiseled Upper Body

ICE: To the Mat: Legs & Glutes

To the Mat: Legs & Glutes is part of Cathe's ICE (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme) program. It is very different from her other lower body workouts. She frequently includes mat work in her lower body workouts, but she has never had an entire workout devoted to nothing but mat work. And it was painful. I am … Continue reading ICE: To the Mat: Legs & Glutes
