Cardio Core Flow is a low impact cardio workout that uses no equipment. It isn't super intense but I worked up a sweat and I did enjoy it. It is a solid steady state cardio workout. Since there is no impact, part of the intensity comes from using large/broad arm movements and lots of torso … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Core Flow

JessicaSmithTV: Pilates Yoga Fusion Flow
Pilates Yoga Fusion Flow was just what I needed this morning after the past few days of brutal workouts. I needed something lower key and this delivered.

Fit Body by Julia: Full Body Supersets & Tabata HIIT
This is the 3rd Fit by Julia workout I have done. And wow. It was killer. Brutal and grueling but I wasn't counting the minutes like I was when I did No Equipment Crazy Cardio. This is a workout I could see myself returning to. It is long. 87:30 minutes of non-stop hard work. I … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Full Body Supersets & Tabata HIIT
Fit Body by Julia: No Equipment Crazy Cardio
No Equipment Crazy Cardio is a workout from Fit Body by Julia, a YouTube workout channel. Now that I have scheduled so many of Julia's workouts over the next month I have noticed that, though she performs all of the workouts, many of them are created by other people and she always gives credit to … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: No Equipment Crazy Cardio
JessicaSmithTV: Ballet Body
Ballet Body is a barre workout that uses light hand weights to increase intensity. You get some light cardio and some light toning but nothing terribly intense. I liked this workout but I didn't love it. I was hoping for something more intense than this workout. It is a high rep workout so heavy dumbbells … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Ballet Body

Interval Barre Fusion is actually a 3 DVD series but the only DVD I purchased is the one for the lower body (there is also an upper body DVD and a core DVD). They all contain three 25 minute workouts. Lower Body also has a warm and stretch (the other two probably do, too, but … Continue reading Barlates: Interval Barre Fusion Lower

This is one of her longer workouts and she really hits every muscle group--plus you get low impact cardio intervals. So it is a total body cardio + strength workout. It was fun, effective and I loved it. With the … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Fusion Sculpt #1
JessicaSmithTV: Relax & Restore
Relax & Restore is another gentle and restorative yoga/flexibility routine. Nothing aggressive but you can always go deeper into the stretches if you want to (and are able to). And it is a nice way to wind down and recover after a more strenuous workout or a week of challenging workouts. I did really like this … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Relax & Restore
JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Dance Sculpt
Cardio Dance Sculpt is was a surprisingly excellent metabolic strength workout. I did not know what to expect but with the word "dance" in the title, I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. But it is created and led by Jessica Smith--which is why I tried it. With the right … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Dance Sculpt
