Wow! Heavy Volume Glute Lift w/ Squat Jumps might be the best glute workout I have ever done. It is definitely one of the most focused. My glutes were burning by the middle of the first set! Even more impressive--Julia shares at the beginning of the workout that she is almost 11 weeks pregnant and I know (since … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Heavy Volume Glute Lift w/ Squat Jumps

Fit Body by Julia: PHAT Workout
This PHAT workout is the first workout that made me take notice of Fit Body by Julia--and it was a long time ago! At least a year ago. I saved it to a playlist and never got around to doing it. Until today. And having now done it--I should have gotten to it sooner! Excellent workout! PHA … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: PHAT Workout
Freestyle Training: Back/Shoulders/Butt
Michele Lumadue is a new-to-me trainer who was recommended to me by a reader. I perused her workouts and at first was resistant due to the length of them (most are well over an hour long--pushing 2 hours--and many are over 2 hours long!). I do not have that kind of time in the mornings … Continue reading Freestyle Training: Back/Shoulders/Butt
JessicaSmithTV: Total Body Toning
Total Body Toning is a metabolic strength training workout from Jessica Smith and with the right weights it is intense! What an excellent metabolic strength workout! It got my heart rate into the cardio zone and worked my entire body very well. I was sweating and working very hard. Jessica uses a set of 10 pound … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Total Body Toning
Medicine Ball HIIT Workout
Medicine Ball HIIT Workout is another excellent and fun workout by trainer Yvette Backman. For the majority of the workout you use a medicine ball for everything--you never put it down. I love workouts that let me use all the equipment I accumulate but don't use that frequently and this gave me the opportunity to use … Continue reading Medicine Ball HIIT Workout
Cardio HIIT/Bicep/Back/Core Circuits
Cardio HIIT/Bicep/Back/Core Circuits is another awesome workout from Yvette Bachman. I have worked every other muscle group this week except back. I had a different back workout scheduled for today but I love Yvette's workouts so much that when I saw this workout had "back" in the title I did a swap. It didn't give … Continue reading Cardio HIIT/Bicep/Back/Core Circuits

Legs (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio
Leg (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio was an incredible workout. I loved it! This is the second workout I've done by Yvette Bachman and it feels like I am rediscovering Cathe (and Cathe Live) for the first time. I am not implying that she creates Cathe-like workouts. Yvette's workouts are her own creation … Continue reading Legs (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio
