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
Iron Core Kettlebell is a neat collection of Sarah Lurie kettlebell workouts I got on Amazon for a great price. It is actually 4 separate workout DVDs that were originally sold separately: Kettlebells the Iron Core Way Volume 1 (currently $47.75), Kettlebells the Iron Core Way Volume 2 (currently $14.91 used, new $79), Iron Core Warrior (currently … Continue reading Iron Core Kettlebell
Shred-It With Weights
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
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
Insanity: Asylum Volume 1
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

The base program comes with 6 workouts, an instructional DVD, an informational booklet and a nutrition guide. If you get the Ultimate Warrior bonus workouts (which I … Continue reading Les Mills Combat
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
