Iron Series Day 2: 30 Min Upper Body Workout – Shoulders, Back, Chest

30 Min Upper Body Workout - Shoulders, Back, Chest is Day 2 (out of 30) in Caroline Girvan's Iron Series. I haven't reviewed a Caroline workout since 2021, but did a few sporadically here and there over the past year. I did several in the Iron Series and loved them, but never got to blog …

Advanced Step Workout #12 Awesome 80s Mix (58 MIN)

Advanced Step Workout #12 Awesome 80s Mix (58 MIN) is a very fun step aerobics workout from YouTube trainer Kat Gates-Buettner. I skimmed through the workout, and it looked like a good one. I had tried another one of her step workouts (Kat’s Advanced Step Aerobics Workout #9 (60 MIN) – Choreography Overload), and while …

Kat’s Advanced Step Aerobics Workout #9 (60 MIN) – Choreography Overload

I have been subscribing and following Kat Gates-Buettner's YouTube channel for a while, but haven't tried any of her workouts yet. A few of my online fitness friends love her workouts, but I was a little hesitant to--mostly because of the fast stepping pace and voiceover (instead of live) cueing. However, I decided to finally …

6 Minute Dumbbell Shoulder Burner

6 Minute Dumbbell Shoulder Burner is an excellent short shoulder workout from Lift with Cee. I used this to finish off her Stress-Busting Chest, Shoulders & Triceps workout and to give my shoulders some extra love. Each exercise is done for 45 seconds of work/15 seconds rest. Cheryl uses 10 lb. dumbbells and 5 lb. …

Stress-Busting Chest, Shoulders & Triceps Workout

Lift With Cee is a new discovery for me. This channel contains strength workouts from Cheryl Coulombe, a personal trainer from Canada (who is 48 and also a mom of two). Initially, she was not on my radar. Her channel is geared towards strength workouts for women over 40, and well I'm not a woman …

Circuit Series, Day 2: Upper Body Workout with Dumbbells – Muscle Building

Upper Body Workout with Dumbbells - Muscle Building is the second workout in Caroline Girvan's new Circuit Series. This past Saturday I did her Glute Circuits, and found it very challenging. So I was a little scared of the other workouts in this series. But I decided to go for it this morning with the …

Circuit Series, Day 3: Glute Workout with Dumbbells – Glutes Isolation

Glute Workout with Dumbbells - Glutes Isolation is the third workout in Caroline Girvan's Circuit Series, and holy $hit it is tough. Right from the first circuit, my glutes were burning out, and I didn't know if I would make it through the entire thing. But I did, and I loved it! At one point, …

Epic Day 8: Dumbbell Upper Body Workout

This Dumbbell Upper Body Workout is the eighth workout of Caroline Girvan's first Epic program. I've done another (and enjoyed) one of her complete upper body workouts (Epic II, Day 3: 45 Min U per Body Workout / Dumbbells & Bodyweight), but this one IMHO is better. In her introduction, Caroline notes two things about …

Peloton: 45 min 80s Pop Ride (2/26/2019)

This 45 min 80s Pop Ride was a bit of a humbling ride for me. To me, it's possibly the toughest ride from Denis I've taken so far. The other Denis rides I've done have been doable, some of course more intense than others. It actually felt like a typical ride from him early on, …

Epic II, Day 39: Dead Arms & Shoulder Workout / Upper Body

Dead Arms & Shoulder Workout / Upper Body is another excellent workout in Caroline Girvan's Epic II program. If you are following the program, it is Day 39 of 50. This was another tough workout from Caroline. My arms are already feeling this workout as I'm sitting here typing this blog post. At the end …
