…so I do it at home
Kelly Coffey-Meyer's new workouts arrived! I couldn't wait to try them out. The trailers for both of them look awesome! The other new workout DVD is Cardio Pump--that review should be posting early next week. Lean Body Circuits is very similar to Circuit Burn which is one of my all time favorite workouts by Kelly. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Lean Body Circuits

The structure of Drop Set Strength is you do 3 sets of each exercise; set 1 consists of 8 reps at the heaviest weight, set 2 consists of 10 reps at a moderate weight … Continue reading Drop Set Strength
Slo-Mo Strength Challenge is 3 tough and advanced strength workouts by Amy Bento. These are the first workouts I've tried by Amy and I really like them. This collection is set up as a split series--3 workouts that each focus on different muscle groups so that if you do all 3 (plus the core workout) each … Continue reading Slo-Mo Strength Challenge
I have been very impatiently awaiting Jillian's BodyShred program! And now that I own it, I look at it with some trepidation. The trailer for it looks scary hard. But I am up for the challenge! BodyShred is the next step after Body Revolution. Body Revolution had 3 stages--beginner, intermediate and advanced. And the advanced … Continue reading Jillian Michaels BodyShred
P90X2 is another advanced fitness program by Tony Horton and Beachbody. I got P90X2 around the same time as I got Insanity: Asylum Volume 1 and it fell prey to the same delay--discovery of Cathe. So in spite of my intense excitement when P90X2 was announced, it has sat on my shelf collecting dust for several years. I … Continue reading P90X2
I was a bit hesitant to do these workouts after doing Kettlebell Kickboxing: The Body Series. Scorcher and The Body Series are both created by Dasha Libin and I wasn't thrilled with The Body Series. It had a few good workouts but overall it was beginner level, I didn't like Dasha as trainer, I felt the program was … Continue reading Kettlebell Kickboxing: Scorcher Series
Iron Core Kettlebell is a neat collection of Sarah Lurie kettlebell workouts I got on Amazon for a great price.

Shred-It With Weights is Jillian Michaels one and only kettlebell workout. I have had it for a long time. I did it once a long time ago. I don't remember much about it except I didn't like it. I don't remember why. It is still on my workout shelf with all of my other Jillian … Continue reading Shred-It With Weights
Double Down is a new cardio + strength workout led by both Amy Dixon and Paul Katami. Two trainers I love, so of course I had to get it. The concept of this workout is to start an exercise, then at some point double your effort--hence the title Double Down. It is set up in 8 … Continue reading Double Down
Going Strong is the newest high intensity workout from Amy Dixon in her Breathless Body series and I love it! I love all of her Breathless Body workouts but this is my absolute favorite. However, it deviates from the first 3 a lot. In fact, it is more along the lines of Patrick Goudeau's awesome … Continue reading Breathless Body 4: Going Strong
