…so I do it at home
I already have a blog post called BeFit in 30 Extreme which is the review of a DVD workout I checked out at the library. It contains three 20 minute workouts. You do each workout once a week and repeat for 30 days. Well, that DVD was just the first month of the BeFit in … Continue reading BeFit in 30 Extreme//90 Day Program
This is a rotation I have been planning for a while but it took longer than it should have to take shape. One of the things delaying it was/is Cathe Live. All I want to do anymore are Cathe Live workouts. So I decided to incorporate Cathe Live into this rotation. However, that also means … Continue reading Ripped w/ HIIT & Gym Style Rotation
Never has marketing sold me on a program as strongly as it has Meta Shred. I am familiar w/ BJ Gaddour from 10 Minute Torchers and though I liked him and his workouts, his name is not what sold me. I follow Men's Health on Facebook and the ad for Meta Shred kept popping up. I … Continue reading Meta Shred 21
When Hammer & Chisel was first announced I was so excited! I loved Body Beast so when I saw Sagi was coming out with a new strength training program I planned to purchase it as soon as it was available. They initially announced it via a cryptic trailer several months before it was released and showed … Continue reading The Master’s Hammer & Chisel
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
Chiseled Lower Body Blast is a great workout. I loved it. It is one of my favorite types of workouts--cardio + strength in which strength work is alternated with cardio blasts. However, it is part of the ICE fitness program and ICE stands for Intermediate Conditioning Extreme, so this is not as intense as Cathe's … Continue reading ICE: Chiseled Lower Body Blast
Boot Camp Circuit is a fun, intermediate level total body metabolic strength + cardio workout. I really enjoyed it. However, it is definitely a step down from Cathe's original Bootcamp workout as well as her Drill Max. Having done all of the ICE workouts at least once, I would rate this one as the most … Continue reading ICE: Boot Camp Circuit
Metabolic Total Body is an excellent metabolic strength training workout. It is part of Cathe's ICE fitness program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). Like Low Impact Sweat, I didn't find this workout as easy as I expected. The "intermediate" is deceiving. However, I did automatically lift heavier than Cathe on every single exercise. That is one of the aspects … Continue reading ICE: Metabolic Total Body
Low Impact Sweat is part of Cathe's ICE fitness program (Intermediate Conditioning Extreme). It is the first workout I have done from this series and my first impression is--intermediate? Really? This was very challenging! I got an excellent workout! Here is what I can guess is intermediate about this workout--when she used dumbbells to increase … Continue reading ICE: Low Impact Sweat

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
