Barlates 5 Best Exercise Series is a collection of mini workouts from Linda Wooldridge. Each workout focuses on a single muscle group, contains 5 exercises for that muscle group and each exercise is done for a full minute. You'd be surprised at how quickly 5 exercises can fry a muscle group. I used (and am still … Continue reading Barlates: 5 Best Exercises Series
Cardio Barre Sculpt is an intense and low impact metabolic workout from Linda Wooldridge and her free YouTube Barlates collection. I really enjoyed this workout. You need a firewalker loop and a light set of hand weights. I used 3 pounds and that was plenty! Amazing how heavy 3 pounds seems after a zillion reps! … Continue reading Barlates: Cardio Barre Sculpt
Cardio Boot Camp is another collection of short (15 minute) cardio workouts from The Method and led by Tracey Mallet. It is a good thing I got this DVD used and super cheap at Goodwill because one of the 3 workouts on this DVD is on another Method/Tracey Mallet DVD that I had already bought … Continue reading The Method: Cardio Boot Camp
Cardio Sculpt Fat Burn is another Barlates YouTube workout from Linda Wooldridge. It is also available on DVD with 3 other workouts (Cardio Sculpt Fusion). I have not purchased that DVD yet but it is on my Amazon wishlist. Cardio Sculpt Fat Burn is a short metabolic cardio + strength workout. Linda alternates two cardio segments with … Continue reading Barlates: Cardio Sculpt Fat Burn
I was excited to try Cathe's two newest Live bootcamp workouts--this one, Upper Body Bootcamp, and Lower Body Bootcamp, which I will be doing tomorrow. From the previews, they look pretty comprehensive. Having done Upper Body I can say it is a very fast-paced workout, so you are getting your heart rate up while doing it. Not … Continue reading Cathe Live: Upper Body Boot Camp

There is also an "Intro/Bonus" workout … Continue reading Rippedism
Body Works is an interesting Cathe Live workout. I did like it, but I have noticed something about the most recent Live workouts I've been doing. They are not terribly intense. They seem to be more intermediate level workouts. I do enjoy them and I am still getting good workouts but I don't feel like … Continue reading Cathe Live: Body Works
Another bootcamp workout from Cathe Live! I really enjoyed this workout but it definitely was not her most intense. I did use it for a metabolic cardio day workout but even the cardio/metabolic aspect wasn't super intense. But it was still a good workout and worked well for a Sunday when I normally try to … Continue reading Cathe Live: Rock Body Boot Camp
Upper Body Challenge w/ Ball is another excellent upper body strength workout from Cathe Live. There are so many things I love about Cathe Live but her upper body muscle split workouts are one of the major bonuses. She works the entire upper body in this workout and works it well. I feel like no … Continue reading Cathe Live: Upper Body Challenge w/ Ball
Since I loved B.J. Gaddour's MetaShred 21, I was very excited when he announced the next level--MetaShred Extreme. My husband pre-ordered it for me as a birthday gift. I had already impulse purchased B.J.'s DeltFit Speed Shred and that has been sitting on my shelf for several months. The original plan was to do DeltaFit first, … Continue reading MetaShred Extreme
