…so I do it at home
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 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
Kettlebell Kickboxing: The Body Series was a major impulse buy. Even as I review the materials before beginning I feel a little uneasy. Not that I think it will be too difficult, but that I made a mistake. I really like kettlebell workouts so when I saw an entire kettlebell program I decided, why not? I … Continue reading Kettlebell Kickboxing: The Body Series
I have actually had Asylum Volume 1 for several years. I got it for my birthday right around the same time I rediscovered Cathe, which put a halt to me doing any other program for a long time. However, over the past year I have been doing workouts by other trainers and programs, and I am finally … Continue reading Insanity: Asylum Volume 1
Les Mills Pump is a fitness program by Beachbody. I have wanted it for a very long time but it was ungodly expensive (at least in my opinion). It is no longer offered on their main site so I cannot give the exact price, but it used to cost around $180 (+S&H which is around … Continue reading Les Mills Pump
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
Ripped with HIIT is Cathe Friedrich's latest fitness program. Like Xtrain, it can be bought as a program (and you get all of the workout DVDs in a clamshell case) or each workout can be purchased individually. So I am reviewing this in basically the same way I did Xtrain. I will do the program … Continue reading Ripped with HIIT
My review posts have slowed down, but that is because I have been doing the Body Beast program. I'm doing the entire program, so this review will not post until I am finished. 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
Kettlebody by Brook is a collection of 3 workouts created by Brook Benten. It is actually a very cool little fitness program. In her intro to the workouts, she gives you a rotation schedule to follow: Cardio on Monday, Yoga on Tuesday and Toning on Wednesday. Repeat for a total of 6 days, take a … Continue reading Kettlebody By Brook
I did it! My longest "program" rotation to date. I did 5.5 months of Cathe's STS. If you are new to this blog or STS or my blog posts on STS, go back to the very first post where I explained what STS is: STS Overview and Prep, in order to understand some of the … Continue reading STS Wrap Up
