Cardio Karate Review: Martial Cardio Circuit with Steve Feinberg

Cardio Karate: Martial Cardio Circuit
Steve Feinberg, 2011

Steve leads this 61 min authentic karate & cardio w/o with 2 b/gers in a nice Asian set. You wont need any equipment for this workout. This w/o is a good one to start the set with- get used to the karate style moves but Steve does a good job of adding in some plyo moves to burn calories.

After a 9 min w/u Steve moves into some more authentic karate stances and intersperses in some cardio. Exercises include: ankle breakers, combo kicks, elephant strikes, crane stance, gorilla jog, horse stance squats, 180 step & whip, tiger X strikes, unicorn dance, hi plannk holds, pike dives, bridge, hop down to low hover, tuck jumps, and push ups w/ jack legs. This one has lots of good animal forms and a very functional feel that will work your core.

I rate this an intermediate workout, while many of the exercises are very low intensity its great for balance, coordination, & variety in your workouts. He does include some good cardio moves as well. He is obviously very knowledgeable and knows his stuff. Fun & unique workout. I received this dvd to review.

NEW From The FIRM: Time Crunch Cardio Review

The FIRM: Time Crunch Cardio
Allie Del Rio, 2011 ***** (4.5 stars)

This dvd has three 20 min w/o's on it, a cardio, a C+S, and a strength workout w/ cardio bursts. Allie leads with 2 backgrounders, one showing beginner modifications. You will need dumbbells for this workout. I found the C+S and the S to be very unique new offerings from the Firm and I really liked them!!!!

Calorie Burning Cardio: This w/o contains 2 routines that are not overly choreographed. After a fairly long warmup exercises include step touch w/ a head snap, march & shuffle, step squats, pivot taps, & pivot kicks.. Allie def adds in some flair w/ exercises like the "spank" and the "tush push."

Cardio + Sculpt Combo: The pace of this w/o allows you to heavy up but keeps your heart rate up. After a warm up exercises include: hop- burpee- pushup combo, squats, rows, bi curl variations, row- kickbacks, pliet abduction, jump & side kick, around the world lunges, & standing knee pulls, and other standing core work for the cooldown.


Fat Blasting Bursts: This is a great light & heavy four-limb workout that keeps your heart pumping. Exercises include: lunge & overhead pass, cardio squats & jumps, cardio lunge to plyo lunges, side lunge w/ a cross bi-curl & delt raise, step touch to moguls, dip & overhead tricep, floor touch & knee ups, deadlift & rows, static pliets w/ elbow to knee cross pulls, ribcage twists adding a punch, and other standing core work for the cooldown.

I rate the cardio a beginner workout and the other 2 solid intermediates that are easy to modify by adjusting your poundage. I used heavier weights and really got a great workout. I really enjoyed both the strength workouts and felt they were new & fresh Firm offerings! I look forward to more like this! Allie does a great job leading, good cuing & form pointers. I received this dvd to review.

Jari Love's Get Extremely Ripped 1000 Hardcore Review

Jari Love's Get Extremely Ripped 1000 Hardcore
Jari Love, 2011

Jari leads this strength & cardio workout in a dark set with 4 background exercisers who provide plenty of modifications. Along with the two "30 minute" C+S workouts, The dvd offers a lot of premix options including all cardio & all strength. The play all option is 74 minutes. If you liked Jaris last workout you will love this one- very similar in format & exercises. You will need a step & dumbbells for this workout.

Workout #1: (42 minutes) The workout is structured into blocks of high reps of simple exercises. Jari does provide tempo changes & exercise variations for some varitey. After a w/u exercises include: deadlift rows, straddle run, curtsy off step & kickback, squat jumps & jacks, reverse crunches, V drops, clam crunches & ends w/ a c/d & stretch.

Workout #2: (42 minutes) The workout is structured into blocks of high reps of simple exercises. After a w/u exercises include: side squat -dip off bench w/ bi curls, step up- jack-step down - jack, lat raise combo, squat off bench w/ military press, bench cardio lunge variations, step up & down to burpee, walk over pushups, tri pushups, side plank threads, 1 leg bridge holds, and ends w/ a c/d & stretch.

I rate these workouts advanced- there are some pretty challenging exercises and a nice quick pace. Not a ton of excitement with the long blocks of the same exercises but very nice combo moves that will get you thoroughly worked out. Jari is a great lead, encouraging and knowledgeable & provides great cuing & form pointers. I received this dvd to review.

JB Bern's Cardio Karate Review: Cardio Plyo Intervals with Keli Roberts

Cardio Karate Cardio Plyometric Intervals 
Keli Roberts, 2011

Keli leads this 54 min cardio workout in a martial arts studio with 2 b/g exercisers. You will only need your UR for this workout. The exercises groups are separated by a horse stance series and then combined at the end for a full cardio karate workout. Nice Asian-esque music. 

Keli does a great job of adding plyometric drills to more deliberate karate poses/exercises, getting the heart rate up more so than the others I have tried. Exercises include: jacks w/ karate arms, horse stance series, punches & strikes, hitch kicks, move up w/ palm strikes & back w/ a punch, cross over body tosses, lunge & palm strike, cat w/ knee & ankle stomp, jump squats, stomp & upper cut, lunge hops & strike down, & skater hops and concludes with 14 min of core work and cooldown. Core work includes: plank, plank jacks, elevator planks, bridge series, & supine toe reaches.

I rate this an intermediate workout but you can easily modify up or down to suit your needs. I added weighted gloves & some more hops & got a good workout. Keli does a great job in this one and looks amazing! Her form & cuing are great & I like the addition of plyos after more slow & deliberate karate work. There is a countdown bar that has occasional tips & reminders along side it. Love the functional work and felt my core working throughout. I received this dvd to review.

My Exciting Nutrisystem Announcement!

I know you have all heard of Nutrisystem, afterall it has been around for over 40 years and has helped men & women shed millions of pounds!  Well I am super excited to have the opportunity to join the Nutrisystem community and start myself on a healthy journey the Nutrisystem way! And I'm super excited about the addition of the Nutrisystem Chef's Table Fresh Frozen meals to compliment my shelf stable Nutrisystem foods. AND when I order my food- I can customize it to exactly my tastes and change it next month when I know which foods I really LOVE. Or keep it simple and order a pre-made Nutrisystem package.

I have struggled with my weight my entire life and am ready to commit to Nutrisystem starting NOW! I received my Nutrisystem starter kit in the mail last night & it included everything I need to get going :) I was SO excited to see the box- I tore right in only to discover mouthwatering treats such as: chocolate frosted donuts, peanut butter & jelly bars, chicken fettuccine alfredo, red beans & rice, three cheese pasta with chicken and so much more!!! So many of these foods have been taboo for so long- I cant wait to dive right in! I LOVE that with Nutrisystem I get breakfast, AM snack, Lunch, PM snack, dinner, AND dessert!

I'm not going to lie- a HUGE HUGE incentive for me is that with Nutrisystem I don't have to cook! Cooking is a huge time commitment as is grocery shopping. With Nutrisystem you receive a delivery of shelf stable and fresh frozen foods and you simply add a bit of fresh produce (smart carbs) and power foods to your Nutrisystem foods for complete balanced and satisfying nutrition.

I love that I can eat the same thing as the rest of the family, DH is having lasagna- I grab my Nutrisystem lasagna and we are both having the same meal. I'm going to a pizza party next weekend- no worries, Im BYOP'ing (brining my own pizza!) I can enjoy a yummy Nutrisystem pizza and not feel left out of the fun.

I was excited to see that my starter kit came complete with a food journal that has spots for me to detail my Nutrisystem foods, my daily water intake, and my fresh produce add-ins. Grocery lists, add-on ideas, and more are included, seriously everything you need laid out in an easy to understand guide! And I have free access to an interactive, supporting, knowledgable online Nutrisystem community and a 24/7 phone number for any questions I may have, and a dining out guide.

Also included- a free Blender Bottle for their new protein shakes that are a breakfast add-on NOT a meal replacement. YAY So I get a yummy breakfast of my choice (french toast, pancakes, southern-style biscuits & gravy, etc) AND a yummy protein shake (vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, or coffee-woot love the coffee mmmmm). And a nice Nutrisystem water bottle to help keep me on track with my water consumption.

Nutrisystem is a LONG-TERM PLAN: It also comes with a ton of great info including maintenance. Nutrisystem products are available ala carte so WHEN I reach my goal with Nutrisystem I can pick and choose which Nutrisystem meals or snacks I need to keep me on track.

SO please join me and cheer me along in my Nutrisystem journey! I will be posting updates & such along the way. I am ready to COMMIT and ready to SUCCEED with Nutrisystem!!!! And dang- doesnt Janet Jackson look fabulous!!!!!

Michelle Dozois Peak 10 More Cardio Strength Review

Review: Peak 10 More Cardio Strength
Michelle Dozois, 2011 ***** (5 of 5 stars)


This is a 57 min chaptered nonstop cardio & strength interval workout. Michelle works you through basecamp, ascent, climb, and finally you max out in the peak phase. The basecamp & ascent are strength moves & the climb & max are cardio. You will need dumbbells for this workout. Michelle works out w/ 6 b/g exercisers and modifications are shown.


There is no warmup in this but the 10 first block doesnt contain peaks. 

Exercises include: dip-clean & press, side lunge & row, hi knees, double jogs, burpee gorilla crawls, side plank hip drops, pushups, tri pushups, plyo lunge & bi curl, 180 squat touch downs, shuffle & seal jacks, side lunge & diagonal raise, KB swing & hop, side plank thrusts, plank & 1 arm fly, curtsy diagonal raise, dive bomb pushups, fast side to side tuck jumps, plank donkey kicks, side knee tuck jumps, and a cooldown.


I rate this an advanced workout! I was dripping with sweat by the end. Michelle moves nonstop from exercise to exercise and most of the strength work got or kept my heart rate up. Lots of great functional core work and lots of combo moves. Love the workout & the format. Michelle is an excellent lead, great cuing & form pointers. I received this dvd to review.

Yin Yang Fusion AND 10 Pounds Down Better Body Blast DVD Reviews

The Yin Yang Fusion Workout
Guillermo Gomez & Jessica Smith, 2011 ***** (5 of 5 stars)

This dvd offers five 15 minute workouts that you can select from the main menu or play all. The dvd is a fusion of martial arts, chi gong, yoga, sculpting & pilates. They workout together in one segment but individually in the other 4. The set is a cute open space with framed Japanese calligraphy in the background. You won't need any equipment and each segment includes a short w/u & c/d.

Segments include: Cardio Expansion & Contraction, Total Body Strength & Flexibility, Lower Body Rhythm & Balance, Core Power & Flow, & Relax Movement & Stillness. I rate these workouts intermediate but are appropriate for most all fitness levels. Both instructors do a fantastic job w/ form pointers & their cuing is spot on. Tons of variety & time options and so many unique and fun exercises! I really enjoyed all the segments & see myself using this dvd a lot

10 Pounds Down Better Body Blast
Jessica Smith, 2011 ***** (5 of 5 stars)

This dvd has three 20-23 minute workouts, Arms, Legs, and Abs. The segments can be played together or separately from the main menu. Jessica works out alone in a studio set and you will only need dumbbells. Jessica performs a base move and then adds on to amp up the intensity. This is a lighter weight, higher rep, moderately fast paced strength workout that will get & keep your heart rate up.

Arms: Jessica performs a base move and then adds some lower body movement to up the intensity and includes some cardio intervals to get the heart pumping. Legs: Jessica performs a base move and then adds to it to up the intensity and includes some cardio intervals to get the keep pumping. Abs: This is a nonstop core routine that includes some active core workouts to get your heart working a bit. My heart rate was up in the LB & UB  segments and the cardio intervals got it up even more. REALLY like this workout and know it will get a ton of use. As always, Jessicas cuing & form pointers are spot on! I received this dvd to review.

Cathe Friedrich Low Impact Series: Athletic Training Review

Low Impact Series: Athletic Training
Cathe Friedrich, 2011
This is a 56 minute dvd that offers plenty of premixes & is chaptered very well. Cathe works out with 4 exercisers in a nice open set. You will need a step, dumbbells, tubing, loop band, and gliding discs for this workout. Cathe takes you through a warump, a short step routine, and then strength work- much of which wil keep your heart rate up.
After a w/u exercises include: bench knee pulls, straddle & touch step, repeater knees, touch step -knee up, front swings, hip abduction off step &  arm swing, shoulder tap pushups, disc dips & bi curl, band & dumbbell curl, tri dips w/ 1 leg disc slides, lying tricep work, standing loop donkey kicks, deadlift variations, seated band delt fly, crunches, reverse crunches, plank knee drops & concludes with a c/d & stretch. 
I rate this is a high intermediate/ low advanced workout- it is simple choreo but nonstop heartpumping cardio and strength work. The first portion of the strength kept my heart pounding. This is a lighter/ medium poundage workout that moves at a fast pace but is not high rep.  I really love the low impact but high intensity & simple but not boring choreo- this is definitely a unique, fun & effective video. I look forward to more from this series! I received this video to review.

Miss Oops Boob Tube:
Lindsey had the pleasure of reviewing the fantastic Miss Oops Boob Tube. The Boob Tube is a stylish and clever way to make your shirts more modest. It is just that a tube that goes around your boobs that creates a more modest look for some of the clothing that may be just a tad too low cut. I also love to use mine instead of a tank top- I dont need another layer of fabric across my midriff causing more bulk and in the summer its just too warm to wear a full tank top under a shirt. Boob Tubes come in a large variety of styles and colors: solid, lace, and seasonal colors. Oh and the super cute seasonal colors are on sale for 80% off right now!!!! Head on over there & score on this super deal.

I LOVE my Boob Tube! I love taking "evening" attire and transforming it into something appropriate for the office. The Boob Tube is also wonderful for those super cute clothes that I had shyed away from wearing in the past because they were a tad too low cut for my tastes.

Miss Oops Chicken Cutlets:
The description on the Miss Oops site reads: “Feeling down?  Here’s something to perk you up….Chicken Cutlets by Miss Oops! ” While obviously this is a play on words about the “girls” drooping down and the chicken cutlets offering a “lift” up, for some, the lack of cleavage may actually have you feeling down and in need of a pick-me-up, at least that is the case with me. The Belles are avid exercisers. With intense exercise, one of the best side effects of is loss of body fat. Unfortunately, the breasts, which are primarily made up of fat, are often times the first place it falls off from. Add to that fourteen months of breastfeeding, and well, let’s just say that the girls are definitely feeling down and so am I. That’s why I was ecstatic (yes, ecstatic) to have the opportunity to review the chicken cutlets from Miss Oops. These silicone breast inserts are perfect to perk your girls up and add some cleavage without going under the knife. Miss Oops Chicken Cutlets offer just the right amount of softness and firmness giving you the look and feel of real cleavage. They are easy to use and are easily adjustable. When first inserted they take a bit to “warm up” and conform to your shape but then they almost magically adhere and stay in place so you can stay worry free all day long. The Chicken Cutlets will increase your bosom by 1 full cup size. Each pair comes in a plastic travel case.

Trying to Conceive? Try Sperm Check Fertility

Planning to get pregnant soon and want to prepare? Trying to get pregnant and having issues? Introducing SpermCheck® Fertility, the fast, accurate, affordable, at-home sperm count test for men, now available online from Walgreens.com.

Whether you are trying to conceive or if you want to double check your vasectomy- SpermCheck Fertility is a great convenient option. 

Each year 11 million couples will try to have a baby, but about 7 million of those couples will have fertility issues and the most commonly accepted myth is that the woman is mostly to blame. The fact is that about 50% of all infertility problems are directly attributed to the male, and most of them are mainly due to low sperm count. Still many men are reluctant to get their sperm tested because up until now they had to go to their healthcare provider and perform the test in the doctor’s office or lab. Such laboratorysperm tests can be costly, as well as embarrassing.

Now with a new at-home test kit called SpermCheck® Fertility, men can test their sperm count in the privacy of their home. SpermCheck Fertility is the only FDA approved, 98% accurate home test for men – it’s as accurate as a lab test but more affordable and convenient. In just 10 minutes, the easy-to-read results indicate a normal or below normal spermcount.  The SpermCheck® Fertility test costs substantially less than a visit to the doctor without the embarrassment and indignities of providing a semen sample to a doctor or nurse.

Experts agree that a sperm count test should be the very first and essential step in fertility testing for couples – it’s non-invasive and can help eliminate or identify a potential stumbling block to conception.

Whether you are planning a pregnancy in the near future or have been trying to conceive, this inexpensive home test can help couples to save time, money and frustration.

Why SpermCheck® Fertility?

• SpermCheck® Fertility FDA approved 
• SpermCheck® Fertility is as accurate as lab testing – 98% accurate
• SpermCheck® Fertility is private and convenient – done in the privacy of your own home
• SpermCheck® Fertility is affordable —just $39.99
• SpermCheck® Fertility is fast and easy – provide easy to read results in 10 minutes

SpermCheck® Fertility is currently available online at www.Walgreens.com and www.CVS.com and will be available in Walgreens stores nationwide in April 2012. Suggested retail price is $39.99. for more information about SpermCheck® Fertility.

Valerie Rogers’ ChogaFlow Review

Today's Review: Valerie Rogers’ ChogaFlow

Valerie Rogers, 2012

ChogaFlow a fifty-five minute unique yoga fusion workout that incorporates a chair into the yoga routine. The workout is done both seated and standing and integrates breath with the movement. This workout is ideal for all fitness levels. And because it incorporates the use of a chair, it is great for those with physical limitations that prevent them from getting up and down from the floor easily. 

It is also perfect for those new to exercise, returning to working out after an injury or those looking for a less strenuous workout. A sturdy chair and a yoga mat are required for the workout. In the workout, Valerie guides the exerciser through a fun and easy to follow routine. She offers clear instruction, form pointers and encouraging words. This is a great routine for young folks & older folks alike- she really offers something for everyone. I received this dvd to review.

First let me say- Arnicare is homeopathic- making me love it even more! I hate putting additional chemicals into and on my body so I love that this is a homeopathic remedy that really works! 

Arnicare Gel is great for tired & sore muscles after a tough workout and is great for arthritis, falls, and stiff muscles. Another I found so great about Arnicare is that it reduces swelling and bruising! You know when you plan on wearing a cute skirt out then  hit your shin and really dont want to show off a nasty bruise? Well Arnicare to the rescue!

Arnicare Gel has a cooling effect for fast pain relief. This non-sticky, non-greasy gel is quickly absorbed by the skin. It temporarily relieves muscle pain and stiffness due to minor injuries, overexertion and falls and it reduces pain, swelling and discoloration from bruises! I have a bad knee that gets inflamed from some workouts and causes me neck & back pain so I am constantly searching for relief and am so happy to have discovered Arnicare! And Arnicare is from Boiron - the makers of Oscillococcinum- my GO-TO holistic remedy for colds & flus! Arnicare is available in gel, cream, pill and other convenient formats for ease of use.
