Kickboxing/High Calorie Cardio Blast

Kickboxing/High Calorie Cardio Blast is another excellent and fun workout from Yvette Bachman. This one is primarily cardio kickboxing. It is one of her long classes (71:30 minutes). However the final 16:30 minutes isn't cardio. It is lower body and core work. So if you only have an hour, do the first 54 minutes of … Continue reading Kickboxing/High Calorie Cardio Blast

Fit Body by Julia: PHAT #4

After doing PHAT #2 and not loving it nearly as much as PHAT #1, I considered not doing PHAT #3 and #4 at all. I am so glad I stuck with the plan because I love PHAT #4--as much as PHAT #1. PHAT #4 is awesome! And like PHAT #1, it will grow with you … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: PHAT #4

Fit Body by Julia: Extra Lean PHAT #2

This morning I did a long Fit Body by Julia workout: Extra Lean PHAT #2. I was really looking forward to it after doing her PHAT #1, which I loved, and also because I love the PHAT modality. And this was a good and challenging workout. I did like it and got a great workout … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Extra Lean PHAT #2

High Intensity Cardio Blast

High Intensity Cardio Blast is another excellent and fun workout from Yvette Bachman. It was just what I needed after doing primarily Fit Body by Julia workouts this week. I love Julia's workouts but they aren't fun and the time does not fly. They are just hard (but very effective) work. Yvette's workouts are fun … Continue reading High Intensity Cardio Blast

Fit Body by Julia: Upper Body Workout

Upper Body Workout is another tough workout from Fit Body by Julia and it was created by Daniela. This workout is very deceiving. One thing I love about Julia's workouts is she gives you the break down below her videos so I can create my workout card in advance and choose my weights before starting. … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Upper Body Workout

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. After doing Cardio Madness #1 I was expecting this to be more doable. Cardio Madness #1 was intense and challenging but entirely doable. This … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Cardio Madness #2

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. Until today. And having now done it--I should have gotten to it sooner! Excellent workout! PHA … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: PHAT Workout

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

Fit Body by Julia: Cardio Madness

Cardio Madness is a Fit Body by Julia workout. This is my 4th workout by Julia. It was actually created by someone named Daniela but, of course, it was performed by Julia. This was another super tough workout (does Julia do any workout that isn't super tough?). Julia wore a weighted vest off and on … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Cardio Madness
