I have actually had Asylum Volume 1 for several years. I got it for my birthday right around the same time I rediscovered Cathe, which put a halt to me doing any other program for a long time. However, over the past year I have been doing workouts by other trainers and programs, and I am finally … Continue reading Insanity: Asylum Volume 1

Les Mills Pump
Les Mills Pump is a fitness program by Beachbody. I have wanted it for a very long time but it was ungodly expensive (at least in my opinion). It is no longer offered on their main site so I cannot give the exact price, but it used to cost around $180 (+S&H which is around … Continue reading Les Mills Pump
Killer Body
Killer Body is Jillian Michael's latest offering. As usual she has given us multiple challenging workouts on one DVD for a great price. This collection is a little different than her usual offerings and I really like it. Usually her workouts are total body, or core focused but this collection is giving you splits, which … Continue reading Killer Body
Tapout XT 2
Tapout XT 2 is Tapout XT 1 kicked up a notch. They are both similar--same concept, same trainer (Mike Karpenko)--so for more information on the Tapout XT workouts in general, see Tapout XT 1's review (or at least the first part, before the workout breakdowns). As mentioned in that review, I have been wanting these workouts … Continue reading Tapout XT 2

Ripped with HIIT: HIIT Upper Body Circuit
For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. (Also, these reviews are being posted out of order--this was the first workout I did after receiving the series, but it is the last one that will post--that is why they read a little "off.") It arrived! It finally arrived! Cathe's new series/program … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: HIIT Upper Body Circuit

For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. OMG. O.M.G.

For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. Lift It Hit It Legs is part of the Ripped with HIIT series program that focuses on contrast training.

Ripped with HIIT: Lift it Hit it Back, Biceps & Shoulders
For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. The way some of the workouts within the Ripped with HIIT series/program are titled is a little confusing to me. The one I am referring to in this post is Lift It Hit It: Back, Biceps & Shoulders. Within this series/program, you … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: Lift it Hit it Back, Biceps & Shoulders
Ripped with HIIT: Lift It Hit It Chest, Triceps & Shoulders
For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. Lift It Hit It Chest, Triceps & Shoulders humbled me. That workout was brutal.
