My back is probably my favorite muscle group to work (with my glutes followed close behind) so when I saw this mini workout was only 27 minutes, I knew I had to give it a try. It could be the perfect finisher for another workout. And I was right! I loved this workout! Very intense … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Back & Lat Burst

JessicaSmithTV: Total Body Toning
Total Body Toning is a metabolic strength training workout from Jessica Smith and with the right weights it is intense! What an excellent metabolic strength workout!

Jessica uses a set of 10 pound … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Total Body Toning

JessicaSmithTV: Buns & Guns
Buns & Guns is another unique workout from Jessica Smith. I really liked this workout. It is high rep so you cannot lift super heavy but it has a lot of unique upper body exercises. I would never use workouts like this as my primary strength training but I love how many of Jessica's workouts … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Buns & Guns
JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Bootcamp Boogie
Cardio Bootcamp Boogie is an intense and fun little cardio workout from Jessica Smith. It isn't what I have come to expect from a workout with "bootcamp" in the title. Bootcamp workouts usually combine strength and cardio in timed intervals. This is just straight cardio. I suppose it is done in intervals but they didn't … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Bootcamp Boogie
JessicaSmithTV: Yoga Sculpt
Yoga Sculpt is excellent yoga-strength fusion workout from Jessica Smith. She has another very similar one (Yoga Tone) that I also did this morning. I did them back to back for a 70 minute yoga-strength routine. These aren't cardio yoga workouts but your heart rate will be elevated and you will sweat--or at least I … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Yoga Sculpt
