I added the (25 minutes) to the title because GymRa has a second workout with the exact same title and exact same trainer (Raneir Pollard)--except it's 26 minutes. I have already reviewed Raneir's 26 Min Grueling HIIT, so I needed something to set them apart. This is another great workout led by Raneir. The intensity … Continue reading GymRa: Grueling HIIT Workout (25 Minutes)

JessicaSmithTV: Barefoot Fusion Sculpt Workout
Barefoot Fusion Sculpt is a low impact workout from Jessica Smith's YouTube channel. It isn't a low impact cardio workout--it is a strength workout but it is a circuit workout in which one move flows into the next so your heart rate is elevated. I didn't burn a ton of calories but it worked very … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Barefoot Fusion Sculpt Workout
Boost Metabolism + Muscle
Boost Metabolism + Muscle is a workout DVD by Jessica Smith that has been on my wishlist for a long time but I couldn't decide to get it until I discovered Jessica's YouTube channel JessicaSmithTV. I have done a lot of her free YouTube workouts and I love them--so I finally bought it. This DVD … Continue reading Boost Metabolism + Muscle
GymRa: Grueling HIIT Workout (26 Minutes)
I added the (26 minutes) to the title because GymRa has a second workout with the exact same title and exact same trainer (Raneir Pollard)--except it's 25 minutes. I will be doing and reviewing that one here also, so they need something to set them apart. With the right weights, this is a short but … Continue reading GymRa: Grueling HIIT Workout (26 Minutes)
Barlates: Mix and Match HIIT
Mix and Match HIIT is another very cool workout collection from Linda Wooldridge. It is made up of five 10 minute, very intense segments. And it is extremely varied. It has a little of everything I've come to love from Linda's Barlates workouts--cardio, barre, kettlebell work, some barre-kickboxing, body weight strength mat work and it … Continue reading Barlates: Mix and Match HIIT
Barlates: Pyramid Upper Body
Wow. This was a tough and excellent workout! A little different from what I have become accustomed to with Barlates workouts, but I still loved it. Linda has done some other excellent strength workouts using heavier dumbbells but, other than Back Strength, nothing this comprehensive (that I have done yet, that is). It is based … Continue reading Barlates: Pyramid Upper Body
Barlates: Pyramid Lower Body
I bought this workout from Linda on Ebay. She has her own Ebay store where she sells workout DVDs--her Barlates workouts and lots of other trainers' workouts. You can also buy it directly from her website. Since I don't know if/how long her ebay listing will be up, here is the link to this workout on her website. There … Continue reading Barlates: Pyramid Lower Body
JessicaSmithTV: 30 Minute H.I.I.T.
Jessica Smith's 30 Minute H.I.I.T. is an excellent workout that I (of course) love, but it's not really a HIIT workout. It is an interval workout and I loved it, but I didn't find it HIIT level intense. I have the day off today (4 day weekend) so I got to do a longer morning … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 30 Minute H.I.I.T.
Barlates: Weekend Recovery Stretch
Barlates Weekend Recovery Stretch is wonderful. Usually everything Linda Wooldridge creates is difficult and often painful--even her "yoga" workouts. This workout however is full of deep wonderful stretching and I loved it. Zero pain. She even uses a heavy dumbbell to increase the depth of some of the stretches. I did this workout after her … Continue reading Barlates: Weekend Recovery Stretch

Quick Fix Total Body Weights is part of Linda Wooldridge‘s Quick Fix Series.

Linda also has this entire series saved into a YouTube … Continue reading Barlates: Quick Fix Total Body Weights
