Ripped with HIIT
Ripped with HIIT is Cathe Friedrich's latest fitness program. Like Xtrain, it can be bought as a program (and you get all of the workout DVDs in a clamshell case) or each workout can be purchased individually.

Kitchen Sink Conditioning
I bought this workout DVD partially for the title alone. Kitchen Sink Conditioning. What an odd and somewhat humorous title! And since it is by Patrick Goudeau, it deserved further evaluation.

Bodyweight Dance Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 2)
I honestly did not expect to enjoy this workout as much as I did! I adore Michelle Dozois's new BodyFit 360 series! I have no rhythm and two left feet, so I was certain any workout with the word "dance" in it would end up being shelved after one try. But try it I did … Continue reading Bodyweight Dance Conditioning (BodyFit 360 Vol 2)
