Upper Body Workout is another tough workout from Fit Body by Julia and it was created by Daniela. This workout is very deceiving.

Fit Body by Julia: Heavy Volume Glute Lift w/ Squat Jumps
Wow! Heavy Volume Glute Lift w/ Squat Jumps might be the best glute workout I have ever done. It is definitely one of the most focused. My glutes were burning by the middle of the first set! Even more impressive--Julia shares at the beginning of the workout that she is almost 11 weeks pregnant and I know (since … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Heavy Volume Glute Lift w/ Squat Jumps
Fit Body by Julia: Cardio Madness #2
Cardio Madness #2 is a Fit Body by Julia workout. Most of this workout was created by Daniela though the very last portion (Round of Applause Burnout) was created by Christine Comeau. Wow.

Fit Body by Julia: PHAT Workout
This PHAT workout is the first workout that made me take notice of Fit Body by Julia--and it was a long time ago! At least a year ago. I saved it to a playlist and never got around to doing it.

Freestyle Training: Back/Shoulders/Butt
Michele Lumadue is a new-to-me trainer who was recommended to me by a reader. I perused her workouts and at first was resistant due to the length of them (most are well over an hour long--pushing 2 hours--and many are over 2 hours long!). I do not have that kind of time in the mornings … Continue reading Freestyle Training: Back/Shoulders/Butt

Medicine Ball HIIT Workout
Medicine Ball HIIT Workout is another excellent and fun workout by trainer Yvette Backman. For the majority of the workout you use a medicine ball for everything--you never put it down.
