There … Continue reading Kick Start Your Metabolism

Belly, Butt and Thighs

Belly, Butt and Thighs is another Prevention workout led by Chris Freytag. I got it a long time ago as part of a 2 DVD set--it was paired with Chris's 3-2-1 Workout which will be reviewed here soon. As of this posting, it is cheaper btw to buy the two pack then to buy this … Continue reading Belly, Butt and Thighs

Personal Training

Personal Training is a pretty cool workout DVD by trainer Chris Freytag. In the 4:40 minute intro, Chris explains how this DVD works. It contains multiple short strength and cardio workouts.

2-Week Turn Around: Cardio

Before my mastectomy I dug out some of the workouts I used while rehabilitating after my heels were crushed 10 years ago. The 2-Week Turn Around workouts were part of my rehab. There are two DVDs--a cardio and a strength DVD. Both DVDs contain multiple short workouts that you can do alone or put them … Continue reading 2-Week Turn Around: Cardio

JessicaSmithTV: Quick Cardio Fast Blast

Quick Cardio Fast Blast is also called 150 Calorie Fat Blast. But unlike other trainers, at the beginning of this workout Jessica explains that calorie burn is relative to a lot of things--how intense you go (are you giving the workout 110% effort?), your height, your weight, your age and other things. I will also … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Quick Cardio Fast Blast

13 Minute Quick Stretch is a nice, gentle total body stretching routine. Perfect to finish off a total body strength workout or to stretch you out after any other workout.

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. I really love that Linda Wooldridge has her free Barlates warm up and upper and lower body stretches to start and finish workouts but she doesn't have a total body stretch to finish off a total body workout. Well, … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 10 Minute Total Body Stretch
