My newest addition to my workout DVD collection: Beach Babe 3!

This was my reward for finishing my dissertation research, teaching the first ☼summer☼ session and completing the Fit Fabulous Fierce program!

Before this special delivery from Tone It Up, I downloaded the digital videos (part of my purchase) to my devices:

  • desktop
  • laptop
  • smartphone

K&K have come a long way since I featured them in my Top 5, and added *bonuses* include:

  • call for a beach ball
  • kettlebell & resistance band routines

Starting today, I now could work out to it on the big screen TV!
