30 Minutes to Fitness: Strength & Stamina

Strength & Stamina is Kelly Coffey-Meyer's other new workout DVD in her 30 Minutes to Fitness series. The other one that was recently released is Athletic Conditioning 2, which I did and reviewed yesterday. Consensus is--they are both awesome workouts! Just like all of her 30 Minute to Fitness DVDs, this one contains 2 approx. … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Strength & Stamina

ICE: Intermediate Conditioning Extreme

ICE is Cathe's latest fitness program. ICE is an acronym that stands for Intermediate Conditioning Extreme. Now, Cathe is my #1 favorite trainer and an auto-buy for me but I will not lie, when I first learned that this was intermediate level I was disappointed. I love Cathe's advanced workouts (and the majority of her workouts are … Continue reading ICE: Intermediate Conditioning Extreme

ICE: Rock’m Sock’m Kickbox

Another great and surprising workout from Cathe's ICE program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Rock'm Sock'm Kickbox was more intense than I was expecting it to be. I would say this is even more intense than Cathe's Rockout Knockout. I didn't think it would be either. The long warm up was rather low key and contained zero … Continue reading ICE: Rock’m Sock’m Kickbox

Cathe Live: Total Body Cardio & Weights

Yet another awesome cardio + strength workout from Cathe Live. Cathe's live workouts are a treasure trove of these types of workouts--and btw, cardio + strength is my absolute favorite type of workout, and Cathe consistently does it better than anyone else out there. Not necessarily metabolic strength, tho I do love that, too, but circuit … Continue reading Cathe Live: Total Body Cardio & Weights

Cathe Live: Upper Body Sculpting

Before I start this review, I have a disclaimer to make. I am pretty sick. I've been fighting something for the past few days (successfully I thought) then it hit me hard last night. I barely slept and I feel like crap. I felt like crap when I did this workout. And it really challenged me. … Continue reading Cathe Live: Upper Body Sculpting

Peak Fit System

***Update 4/14/16--Michelle Dozois posted an excellent blog post today about home workouts vs gym workouts. In it she talked about her Peak 10 workouts and Peak Fit system. Also, at the very end of the blog post she states that there will be a new Peak 10 system coming out later this year. I am … Continue reading Peak Fit System

Pretty Fierce: Lean Out

**Note: since I am doing two related systems together the first few paragraphs in both reviews are similar. Pretty Fierce: Lean Out is the other fitness program I purchased by new-to-me trainer Lindsay Brin. She has a DVD series titled MIF/Mom's Into Fitness. I bought two of her programs, Pretty Fierce: Weight Loss and this one because … Continue reading Pretty Fierce: Lean Out

Edge Booty Extreme 2

I discovered this workout system from Oxygen Magazine--they sent me a sales email. I was immediately intrigued. I am getting ready to start another round of STS in September and I am planning on adding additional glute focus. I have already tried The Butt Bible for that purpose and loved it, so I decided I … Continue reading Edge Booty Extreme 2

The Butt Bible

The Butt Bible is a workout series created by Pauline Nordin a Swedish fitness model and trainer. She is also the creator of the Fighter Diet which is strength training and diet guides for bodybuilding and fat loss. I decided to get this because on my next round of STS (starting in September) I want to … Continue reading The Butt Bible

Peak 10 Fat Blaster Cardio Strength

Now this is more like it! Peak 10 Fat Blaster Cardio Strength is another tough and intense metabolic weight training workout from Michelle Dozois. The Fat Blasters are the latest installment in her Peak 10 series and I did not like Fat Blaster Cardio Interval Burn at all. The Peaks were not very intense and … Continue reading Peak 10 Fat Blaster Cardio Strength
