Barlates: Barre Basics Series

Barre Basics is part of a series Linda Wooldridge created. There are 3 disks and each disk contains 4 workouts. Barre Basics, Barre Intermediate and Barre Advanced. They are sold separately or you can buy all 3, which is what I did. I got the full series from Total Fitness DVDs. Their titles make the … Continue reading Barlates: Barre Basics Series

Barlates: Beginner Intervals: Old School Aerobics

Linda Wooldridge just released another Beginner Intervals workout and I couldn't wait to try this one! I found Old School Aerobics more intense than her other two Beginner Intervals workouts (Compound Moves and Cardio Sculpt). I love all 3 of them but this one is definitely my favorite of the 3 and actually had me … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals: Old School Aerobics

JessicaSmithTV: HIIT for Beginners: Kickboxing Interval Training

Kickboxing Interval Training is another HIIT for Beginners workout offered free on YouTube by Jessica Smith. It is the 3rd one I've done so far and probably the most intense of the 3. It is not an intense workout but a nice little cardio boxing workout. I really enjoyed it. I created a low impact … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: HIIT for Beginners: Kickboxing Interval Training

Barlates: Beginner Intervals Compound Moves

Compound Moves is the other Beginner Intervals workout Linda Wooldridge created and posted to YouTube. Yesterday I did and reviewed Cardio Sculpt. Not an intense workout but lots of fun and I really enjoyed it. Same with this workout. Compound Moves is similar to Cardio Sculpt--the moves are different but it is a short (20 … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals Compound Moves

Barlates: Beginner Intervals Cardio Sculpt

I was very excited when Linda Wooldridge posted her Beginner Intervals workouts (she has posted two now). She posted this one on March 12 which was 3 days after my mastectomy--so it was a perfect workout for me. Not immediately but perfect for when I could start working out again. I have already started exercising … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals Cardio Sculpt

JessicaSmithTV: HIIT for Beginners: Cardio Intervals

Since I need to stick with low impact cardio for a while, I decided to check out some of Jessica Smith's free YouTube HIIT for Beginner workouts. I did get a better cardio workout from this than I did from her 1 Mile Belly, Buns & Thighs Walk. It isn't super intense--at least when done … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: HIIT for Beginners: Cardio Intervals

10 Pounds Down: Better Body Blast

10 Pounds Down: Better Body Blast contains 3 approx 20 minute workouts that you can play by themselves or play all of them for a 66 minute total body workout. This is another excellent workout DVD from Jessica Smith. The upper body and lower body workouts in particular were tough and challenging and very metabolic, … Continue reading 10 Pounds Down: Better Body Blast

JessicaSmithTV: A.B.S. Workout

A.B.S. stands for Abs, Back & Stability. This is a gentle core workout from Jessica Smith. I used it as a sort of warm up before doing my Sunday yoga. It worked very well for that. This is a body weight only workout. You will work your entire core--front, sides and back. I felt the … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: A.B.S. Workout

Barlates: Bosu Total Body Fusion

I got a Bosu Ball for Christmas! I got it primarily for Yvette Bachman workouts but once I owned it, no reason not to find other workouts I can use it with. And since I am already a big fan of Linda Wooldridge's Barlates workouts, I was thrilled to see she had a whole DVD … Continue reading Barlates: Bosu Total Body Fusion
