Stronger Longer Volume 1

Stronger Longer Volume 1 is an excellent workout by Tracie Long. This (and Volume 2) are what inspired me to start looking at Tracie Long workouts again. I checked out one of her workouts several years ago (Figure 30: Hips), hated it and never bothered with her again. Recently I was perusing the library's workout DVDs when I … Continue reading Stronger Longer Volume 1

Focus: Lift Higher

Lift Higher is the first workout in Tracie Long's Focus series. From what she says in her intro, it appears she originally created 4 thirty minute workouts in the Focus series and if you use all 4 of them in a week, you will take care of everything. So far I have also done Kickback … Continue reading Focus: Lift Higher

Longevity: Defining Shape

Defining Shape is a 49 minute total body strength workout from Tracie Long and it is part of her Longevity Series. This DVD has two premixes which are broken down at the bottom of this review.

10 Minute Quick Walk Mix is another collection of short walks from Jessica Smith. It contains 6 approx. 10 minute walks + one 12 minute stretch. 3 of the walks are strength walks and 3 of the walks are cardio walks. I love Jessica's walking workouts in all lengths but, other than her YouTube workouts, … Continue reading Walk On: 10 Minute Quick Walk Mix

Lift & Shred

Lift & Shred contains Jillian Michael's only (so far!) pure weight lifting workouts. Most of her workouts are metabolic workouts--cardio + strength workouts done in fast circuits so that you cannot lift heavy but get intense cardio. I was very excited when this DVD came out but I had also just found out I had breast … Continue reading Lift & Shred

Focus: Kickback

I have only done one other Tracie Long workout: Figure 30: Hips, and I did not like it at all so I never bothered with any other Tracie Long workouts. But my library carries a lot of Tracie Long workouts. Every time I go to the library, I always peruse their workout DVD selection. Well, two … Continue reading Focus: Kickback

The Firm/Zip Trainer: Firm & Cardio

Firm & Cardio are the deluxe add on workouts available at the time the Zip Trainer program came out (see that review for more info on what a Zip Trainer is). This deluxe add on came with a 7 pound core ball but the core ball is no longer available, only the DVDs. Firm & … Continue reading The Firm/Zip Trainer: Firm & Cardio

Sculpting RX contains two 30 minute strength workouts. In the intro, Kelly says that workout #1 involves heavier weights and uses supersets. Workout #2 is … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Sculpting RX

30 Minutes to Fitness: Step Boxing 2

Step Boxing 2 is the newest offering from Kelly Coffey-Meyer in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series. I have been looking forward to doing Kelly's newest workouts for months but life circumstances kept me from trying them. But I have been feeling great for weeks now, so it was time to finally give them a … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Step Boxing 2

JessicaSmithTV: 10 Minute Toning Walk

10 Minute Toning Walk is another quick little workout offered by Jessica Smith that is free on YouTube. I used it as an add on this morning to extend my workout time. I did her Metabolic Conditioning workout from Walk Strong 3 and it worked me hard! I remember just a year ago I would … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 10 Minute Toning Walk
