I cannot even remember how I came across Ultimatum but it has been on my Amazon Wishlist for a very long time. It is expensive. The trainer is Lindsi Sanor and she created an intense metabolic weight training fitness program along the lines of Michelle Dozois's Peak 10 Cardio Strength workouts--except shorter. So I was definitely … Continue reading Ultimatum

10 Minute Torchers
10 Minute Torchers was discovered completely by accident. First, I came across a forum post about a Men's Health workout series called The Anarchy Workout. I was curious so I did some research on it. When I decided to spring for it, I was offered 10 Minute Torchers at the checkout. So, of course, before … Continue reading 10 Minute Torchers
The Anarchy Workout
I discovered this workout when perusing fitness forums. I vaguely remember some contest run by both Men's Health and Women's Health about choosing the next "top trainer." The winner got to create a workout series. That's the last I heard of it. Well, as it turns out, The Anarchy Workout was created by the male … Continue reading The Anarchy Workout
All Pump Extreme
All Pump Extreme is another great strength workout from Amy Bento! She doesn't have a lot of pure strength workouts but I think I have sussed them all out. It looks like her strength workouts consist of Drop Set Strength, Slo Mo Strength Challenge, All Pump Extreme and All Pump. It looks like she has … Continue reading All Pump Extreme
30 Minutes to Fitness: Cardio Pump
Cardio Pump is Kelly Coffey-Meyer's other new 30 Minutes to Fitness workout DVD. The other one she just released is Lean Body Circuits. I love them both but this one is my favorite of the two. Cardio Pump contains two approximately 30 minute workouts. One is strength training done "pyramid" style and one is cardio … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Cardio Pump

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
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
Jillian Michaels BodyShred
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
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
