Get Ripped 1000

I love this workout. I haven't done it in years, but I always think of it fondly. One of my all time favorite workouts. I remember when I discovered Jari Love with Get Ripped Slim & Lean, then Get Ripped to the Core. They were so very challenging for me at the time and I … Continue reading Get Ripped 1000

A.S.A.P Hollywood Bootcamp 4×4

Paul Katami is a slave driver! I was so impressed with his Burn & Build I decided I needed to sample more of his offerings. So A.S.A.P Hollywood Bootcamp 4x4 was the next one I chose. WOW. Another super tough metabolic weight training workout. I especially needed something like this today--the day after Thanksgiving when … Continue reading A.S.A.P Hollywood Bootcamp 4×4

Atletica Vol 3

Atletica Vol 3 is an advanced, total body metabolic weight training workout. And it is intense. It is only 48 minutes, but wow. Just like Ilaria's other workouts she can pack a lot into 48 minutes. A LOT. She has 4 volumes of Atletica and this one is by far the most advanced. I did … Continue reading Atletica Vol 3

Atletica Vol. 2

Ilaria Montagnani has come out with several new workouts. Because of my Cathe obsession it has taken me a while to get to them, but I'm working on it! Today was Atletica Vol. 2. I'm surprised it took me this long because I loved Atletica Vol. 1, but it did. Atletica Vol. 2 is very … Continue reading Atletica Vol. 2

Paul Katami Burn & Build

Wow. This workout was really tough. Really tough. Burn & Build is my introduction to Paul Katami's workouts. I heard he was advanced and knows his kettlebells. I also saw this was a cardio + strength/metabolic weight training workout, which I have always loved. So I decided to give it a try. It is a … Continue reading Paul Katami Burn & Build

Great Glutes

Finally! Number 4 of Cathe's newest workouts is finally up to her usual level of torture! Seriously, though, Great Glutes is an intense and challenging workout for your lower body and I adore it. I pre-ordered all 9 of her new workouts and have done 4 so far. Though I really like the other 3 … Continue reading Great Glutes

Lean Legs and Abs

Lean Legs and Abs could not have come at a better time. It is one of Cathe's new workouts but it also arrived right in the middle of one of Cathe's rotations that I am currently doing: Rock Bottoms. I am not following her rotation to the letter, though I am sticking with the core … Continue reading Lean Legs and Abs

Flex Train

Cathe's new workouts finally arrived! Flex Train is a total body strength workout. It is high rep/low weight. I really, really like this workout; however I would put it at intermediate level, which is a little unusual for Cathe who usually does advanced level workouts. I do add a caveat to this. It is intermediate for … Continue reading Flex Train

STS Wrap Up

I did it! My longest "program" rotation to date. I did 5.5 months of Cathe's STS. If you are new to this blog or STS or my blog posts on STS, go back to the very first post where I explained what STS is: STS Overview and Prep, in order to understand some of the … Continue reading STS Wrap Up

STS Week 22 (Disks 34, 35 & 36)

For more info on STS see STS Overview and Prep. This is it! The final week of STS. Meso 3 week 4 workouts are practically identical to Meso 3's week 1, 2 and 3 workouts. Here is the difference: you are now lifting 85% of your 1RM, but for 8 reps. So you have increased … Continue reading STS Week 22 (Disks 34, 35 & 36)
