Review: Peak 10 More Cardio Strength
Peak 10 More Cardio Strength, with an approximate running time of fifty-nine minutes, is the latest cardio and strength circuit workout led by Michelle Dozois of Breakthru Fitness.  A sequel to her popular Peak 10 Cardio Strength, this workout cycles through intervals of strength training, cardio, a high intensity cardio blast and a brief recovery period. The workout is chaptered by each of the Peak 10 Training Blocks which allows the exerciser to customize the workout based on their capabilities and time available to work out.  For the workout you will need two sets of hand weights, a light and a heavy set. Within each Peak 10 training block, Michelle cycles through two rounds of strength training circuits and cardio intervals to give you a total of ten circuit blocks.  Peak 10 More Cardio Strength is a fun, intense and progressive circuit training workout.  The exercises used in the strength training portion of the workout include many multi-joint combination exercises that engage the core as well as the entire body, making the workout super-efficient. Read our full review of Peak 10 More Cardio Strength.

Review: Peak 10 – More Cardio Interval Burn
This is a chaptered 61 minute nonstop cardio workout. Michelle leads in a spacious white/ hardwood room with 6 background exercisers. You wont need any equipment for this workout and some modifications are shown. The workout structure starts with a basecamp move, move into ascent and then climb and finish with almost 30 seconds of peak intensity. You perform five 10 minute intervals for two rounds each (a total of 10 peaks). This is an advanced non-stop cardio workout! If you liked the original Peak 10 Cardio Interval Burn- you will love this one! The transitions are quick and there are a lot of different exercises so the choreo is a bit trickier than the other Peak 10′s, though I would not say it was by any means complex. LOVE that Michelle gets some great standing core work in. Michelle is a great lead with a great energy. I love the format of these workouts and the time really flies by! No dread for such a tough workout! Read our full review of Peak 10 More Cardio Interval Burn.

The Belle’s give Michelle Dozois’ latest Peak 10 workuts: 4 (of 4) biceps up!

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.
