All Pump Extreme

All Pump Extreme is another great strength workout from Amy Bento! She doesn't have a lot of pure strength workouts but I think I have sussed them all out. It looks like her strength workouts consist of Drop Set Strength, Slo Mo Strength Challenge, All Pump Extreme and All Pump. It looks like she has … Continue reading All Pump Extreme

30 Minutes to Fitness: Cardio Pump

Cardio Pump is Kelly Coffey-Meyer's other new 30 Minutes to Fitness workout DVD. The other one she just released is Lean Body Circuits. I love them both but this one is my favorite of the two.

Slo-Mo Strength Challenge

Slo-Mo Strength Challenge is 3 tough and advanced strength workouts by Amy Bento. These are the first workouts I've tried by Amy and I really like them. This collection is set up as a split series--3 workouts that each focus on different muscle groups so that if you do all 3 (plus the core workout) each … Continue reading Slo-Mo Strength Challenge

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

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

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

Ripped with HIIT: Lift It Hit It Chest, Triceps & Shoulders

For more information on Cathe's Ripped with HIIT program see the overview post. Lift It Hit It Chest, Triceps & Shoulders humbled me. That workout was brutal. This was the final workout that I tried in the Ripped with HIIT program and I apparently saved the killer for last. I found a lot of the … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT: Lift It Hit It Chest, Triceps & Shoulders

First, what is Body Beast? Body Beast is a Beachbody Fitness Program. Beachbody's website describes it as the most advanced, muscle defining, … Continue reading Body Beast
