Another major winner from Element and yogi Ashley Turner. Before I even get started, I have to preface this by stating that I have always tried to incorporate more yoga into my rotations. I know it is necessary and I even like and enjoy a lot of the yoga workouts I own. However, I have … Continue reading Element: Yoga for Stress Relief & Flexibility

Element: Yoga for Strength & Flexibility
I am so enamored of Element's workouts that I can't stop checking them out at the library to sample them (and then purchasing the ones I love). The workouts are beautifully produced. All of the ones I've done are set in the same location--a beautiful green, vibrant garden beside the Pacific Ocean. They play relaxing … Continue reading Element: Yoga for Strength & Flexibility
The Firm: Power Yoga
I came across The Firm: Power Yoga while investigating all of my old workout DVDs I've stored in boxes in my closet. I was actually looking for a different yoga DVD I remembered owning (but now cannot find, so I must have gotten rid of it). I had forgotten even buying a Firm yoga workout, … Continue reading The Firm: Power Yoga
Element: Daily Yoga
Trying out Element: Daily Yoga is an experiment of mine. First, I want to try more yoga and barre workouts, but since I have yet to fall in love with either practice, I don't like spending money just to sample them (and then not like them). Enter the library. I don't know why it never … Continue reading Element: Daily Yoga
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
Yoga Meltdown
Yoga Meltdown is Jillian Michaels' first yoga offering back in 2010. I bought it for my daughter and never actually did it myself--until now. I loved her Yoga Inferno, so I've been meaning to give this one a try for a while. Now that I've done it, I love it, too. And it also shows … Continue reading Yoga Meltdown
30 Minutes to Fitness: Athletic Conditioning
Kelly Coffey-Meyer recently came out with two new workouts: Athletic Conditioning and Slim Sculpting. They are both part of her 30 Minutes to Fitness series, but the one I am reviewing here appears to be launching a new series within a series. It is subtitled "Young Adult Series" and the title Athletic Conditioning is actually Volume … Continue reading 30 Minutes to Fitness: Athletic Conditioning
PiYo
PiYo is an interesting concept and one that I actually had zero interest in when it first appeared. However, the more I heard about it, the more intrigued I became. Plus, I really like Chalene Johnson. PiYo is a fusion of yoga and pilates into fluid movement. It is strength + cardio+ flexibility using only your body weight. … Continue reading PiYo
BodyFit 360 (Vol 1)
BodyFit 360 is one of Michelle Dozois new workouts. It came out the same time as Cardio Interval Burn Remix and Cardio Strength Remix. I pre-ordered those two, but at the time, had no interest in BodyFit 360. That has changed. I am about 2 months into Chalene Johnson's PiYo and loving it. It occurred … Continue reading BodyFit 360 (Vol 1)
Release
Release is another Patrick Goudeau Presents workout in the tradition of Kickbox Burn. I love that Patrick finds these awesome trainers and uses his influence to introduce people to them. I am currently in the midst of a long and challenging hybrid rotation (Body Beast, PiYo and Weider Ruthless--reviews of all will post eventually), so … Continue reading Release
