I saved this little workout to a playlist a long time ago then forgot about it. Then I did Betty Rocker's Cardio Barre and decided to give this one a try. I am all about strengthening my back. It is my absolute favorite muscle group to work and there really is nothing sexier than a … Continue reading Betty Rocker: Back Attack

JessicaSmithTV: 20 Minute Fat Burning Cardio Workout
In the intro to this workout Jessica says this workout is part of the "healthy for the holidays challenge" and the idea is "something is always better than nothing." So, even tho this is only 20 minutes of cardio, at least your doing something. Neat little idea. And for 20 minutes, this is another great … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 20 Minute Fat Burning Cardio Workout
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.

Each segment can be used alone since they all start with an easy move that functions as a warm up and they all end with a short stretch. … Continue reading All About Legs
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
