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

JessicaSmithTV: Strength Training for Women

Strength Training for Women is a surprisingly excellent (and short) strength training workout. It's basically total body but the focus is upper body. You do squats, but that is the only lower body exercise you do. The rest of the exercises are upper body. Jessica wants you to use heavy dumbbells, plus the rep pace … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Strength Training for Women

JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Core Flow

Cardio Core Flow is a low impact cardio workout that uses no equipment. It isn't super intense but I worked up a sweat and I did enjoy it. It is a solid steady state cardio workout. Since there is no impact, part of the intensity comes from using large/broad arm movements and lots of torso … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Core Flow

JessicaSmithTV: Ballet Body

Ballet Body is a barre workout that uses light hand weights to increase intensity. You get some light cardio and some light toning but nothing terribly intense. I liked this workout but I didn't love it. I was hoping for something more intense than this workout. It is a high rep workout so heavy dumbbells … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Ballet Body

Barlates: Interval Barre Fusion Lower

Interval Barre Fusion is actually a 3 DVD series but the only DVD I purchased is the one for the lower body (there is also an upper body DVD and a core DVD). They all contain three 25 minute workouts. Lower Body also has a warm and stretch (the other two probably do, too, but … Continue reading Barlates: Interval Barre Fusion Lower
