 Glutes & Guns clocks in just under 40 minutes. The workout's primary focus is exercises that target the glutes and biceps.  The glute exercises target hamstrings and quads as well, but the upper body exercises are exclusively bicep based.  The weight is moderate and the reps are between 12 and 16 reps.  3 stars

 Cathe Lift, Move, & Restore 2 Elevated! Total Body Metabolic Strength is a 40 minute total body workout. In this workout, Cathe takes  you through a series of isolated, compound, and body weight movement.  This is a moderate to heavy weight workout and you are doing on average 10-reps. Cathe offers suggested weight for each of the exercises that use weights.  The warm up and cool down is about 10-minutes of the workouts combine, so the main workout is around 30-minutes. Cathe does use a set of dumbbells  in the warm up. 3 & 3/4 stars

Lift, Move & Restore 2 Elevated! Heavy Weight Workouts. I usually do not care for split upper body workout, but I did not mind the two in this series. There are a total of four heavy weight workouts in the LMR2 Elevated! series. Three of them are: Upper Body Strength Chest, Triceps & Shoulders   (CTS) Lower Body Strength Upper Body Strength Back, Biceps & Shoulders (BBS) Cathe offers suggested weights in all three of the workouts. Many times, I thought the pace was quite quick for a heavy weight workout. Cathe does tell you to slow down if you find that to be the case. In Chest, Triceps & Shoulders, the shoulder work is focus on the upper and front of the shoulders. In Back, Biceps & Shoulders, the shoulder work was focus on the back. A variety of equipment is used throughout. The Lower Body workout uses the loop boss band.  BBS uses a small loop band and the pull up bar.  All workouts used a ranged of dumbbells. Upper Strength CTS - 3&1/2 stars L...

Track Pilates Level 2 workouts. Workouts for level 2 are: Track Pilates Total Body 1 Track Pilates Lower Body & Core 2 Track Pilates Upper Body & Core 2 Track Pilates Synergy Very similar to the first group of workouts but slightly more challenging.  As in level 1, Autumn delivers motivational tips throughout each workouts.  

  Track Pilates is a 9-workout system based on the Pilates Reformer.  Autumn developed a 'track' system that can be attached to any door or wall.  I have mine attached to a wall. Autumn has the program broken down into level 1 workouts and level 2. This week I did the Level 1 workouts. Which included: Track Pilates Total Body 1 Track Pilates Lower Body & Core 1 Track Pilates Upper Body & Core 1 Track Pilates Sweat Autumn offers motivational tips throughout each of the workouts.  There is no music. Just Autumn talking.  And Autumn is the only cast member. The bands/cords are cumbersome to deal with at times because you are changing them in and out quite a bit.  Autumn just tells you to get over and get used to it.  Within each workouts, Autumns leads you through blocks.  You will do specific exercises within a block before moving on to the next block. Overall I like the Track Pilates workouts, especially the length.  One issue I had w...
