Pretty Fierce: Weight Loss

**Note: since I am doing two related systems together, the first few paragraphs in both reviews are similar. I have come across a lot of new programs and trainers lately. Lindsay Brin is the latest. She has a DVD series titled MIF/Mom's Into Fitness. Yeah, I'm a mom, but mine are out of the house, grown … Continue reading Pretty Fierce: Weight Loss

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.

Ultimatum

I cannot even remember how I came across Ultimatum but it has been on my Amazon Wishlist for a very long time. It is expensive. The trainer is Lindsi Sanor and she created an intense metabolic weight training fitness program along the lines of Michelle Dozois's Peak 10 Cardio Strength workouts--except shorter. So I was definitely … Continue reading Ultimatum

RIPT90

I discovered RIPT90 thanks to Amazon recommending products it thinks I might be interested in based on my past purchases, my wishlist, my browsing history, etc. RIPT90 appears relatively new. I have not seen this particular program before but Amazon has recommended others by the same company: X-TrainFit. I have looked at X-TrainFit's other programs but they have never … Continue reading RIPT90

10 Minute Torchers

10 Minute Torchers was discovered completely by accident. First, I came across a forum post about a Men's Health workout series called The Anarchy Workout. I was curious so I did some research on it. When I decided to spring for it, I was offered 10 Minute Torchers at the checkout. So, of course, before … Continue reading 10 Minute Torchers

The Anarchy Workout

I discovered this workout when perusing fitness forums. I vaguely remember some contest run by both Men's Health and Women's Health about choosing the next "top trainer." The winner got to create a workout series. That's the last I heard of it. Well, as it turns out, The Anarchy Workout was created by the male … Continue reading The Anarchy Workout

Jillian Michaels BodyShred

I have been very impatiently awaiting Jillian's BodyShred program! And now that I own it, I look at it with some trepidation. The trailer for it looks scary hard. But I am up for the challenge! BodyShred is the next step after Body Revolution. Body Revolution had 3 stages--beginner, intermediate and advanced. And the advanced … Continue reading Jillian Michaels BodyShred

P90X2

P90X2 is another advanced fitness program by Tony Horton and Beachbody. I got P90X2 around the same time as I got Insanity: Asylum Volume 1 and it fell prey to the same delay--discovery of Cathe. So in spite of my intense excitement when P90X2 was announced, it has sat on my shelf collecting dust for several years. I … Continue reading P90X2
