Barlates: Stretch Flex Tone Lower

Stretch Flex Tone Lower is a workout that I purchased directly from Linda Wooldridge via her website. She also has a series DVD that has 3 Stretch Flex Tone workouts but since I was only interested in the lower body workout, that's all I ordered. FYI--when you order directly from Linda, she will put multiple … Continue reading Barlates: Stretch Flex Tone Lower

Barlates: Upper Body Stretch

As I mentioned in my review of Lower Body Stretch and Free Warm Up, Linda Wooldridge has 100s of free workouts available on YouTube. Many of them have warms ups and stretches included in the workout, and many do not. Sometimes the warm up and/or stretch is very short, and maybe you want something longer. … Continue reading Barlates: Upper Body Stretch

JessicaSmithTV: 10 Minute Total Body Stretch

10 Minute Total Body Stretch is a great way to finish off a total body workout.

Well, … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 10 Minute Total Body Stretch

JessicaSmithTV: Dynamic Stretch

Dynamic Stretch is a flowing active yoga routine. I really, really enjoyed this. I have been doing a lot of Jessica's stretching and yoga routines lately and I do like them a lot but they are pretty gentle. I like that this one is a bit more aggressive. Now, it's definitely not an aggressive yoga … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Dynamic Stretch

JessicaSmithTV: Short & Sweet Stretch

Jessica's stretching routine is exactly what the title says--short and sweet. She gives you a total body stretch in just 16:30 minutes. Today I used this workout to finish off one of Linda Wooldridge's Barlates total body mat strength routines. Linda did stretch me out afterward, but I have been doing a lot of Barlates … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Short & Sweet Stretch

Linda Wooldridge has literally hundreds of workouts available for free on YouTube. Many of them have warms ups and stretches included in the workout, and many do not.

Stretch, Rest & Relax is a 30 minute full body stretching routine from Jessica Smith. It is nice and gentle, and Jessica stretches you out thoroughly from head to toe.

Equipment: a mat, … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Stretch, Rest & Relax

JessicaSmithTV: Recovery Day Routine

Recovery Day Routine is another nice, relaxing flexibility routine from Jessica Smith. The title says it is 20 minutes but it is actually 26:30 minutes long. This was exactly what I needed after a week of Barlates. This morning (and yesterday) every single muscle in my body was hurting.
