…so I do it at home
Belly, Buns & Thighs Walk is a nice cardio walk with a toning element from Jessica Smith and it is free on YouTube. I really enjoyed it. I used it for a doubles workout after I got home from work. It wasn't super intense but I got some steady state cardio and I felt many … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Belly, Buns & Thighs Walk
Interval Power Walk/Jog was an intense little cardio interval workout from Jessica Smith! It is one of her free YouTube workouts. It seemed like it would be super easy at first, but Jessica times her intervals by songs and the songs are not short! So the high intensity intervals went on a long time! The … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Interval Power Walk/Jog
This workout caught my eye on YouTube when I did a search for walking workouts, so I decided to give it a try. I have never heard of Jenny Ford. She is very cute and has great energy! This wasn't an advanced or tough workout, but Jenny seemed to be working hard. She did this … Continue reading 30 Minute Marching Workout with Cardio Bursts
It's been a while since I have posted a Yin Yoga review. But that doesn't mean I haven't been doing Yin Yoga. I have actually been focusing on two of Yoga Ranger's practices that have already been reviewed here: Yin Yoga for Full Shoulder Flexibility & Release and Yin Yoga for Leg Day. Yin Yoga … Continue reading Yin AM: Yin Yoga for Upper Body Tension Relief
Stride & Step is a YouTube cardio step workout from Jessica Smith. It is a great, short, uncomplicated cardio workout. And exactly what I need after a long day at work. Some thoughtless cardio. I really enjoyed it. And as an aside--this is what I have been missing! Not this workout specifically, but doubles. I … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Stride & Step
Squat Free Lower Body Strength Workout is one of Jessica Smith's newer (free) YouTube workouts and it is a solid add on workout. Not a ton of reps but it does the job if you are using it as a finisher to another workout, which is what I did. I did Barlates: Energy Flow/Functional first, … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 19 Minute Squat Free Lower Body Strength Workout
Barlates: Fusion Flow is a box set that collects 3 of Linda @ Barlates DVDs together. Each DVD has 4 workouts on it, so this box set contains 12 workouts. I love Linda's box sets but this one (so far) is my absolute favorite. Linda considers all of these workouts easier than her usual offerings. … Continue reading Barlates Fusion Flow Box Set
Energy Flow: Functional is a tough workout! Possibly the most advanced of all of Linda @ Barlates new flow workouts. My legs felt weak afterwards. I even used some of her modifications and it still wore me out! I did another short lower body workout afterwards that was much easier, but it still challenged me … Continue reading Barlates: Energy Flow/Functional
Dynamic Flow: Functional is another of Linda Wooldridge's flowing bodyweight strength workouts. This one starts with a light cardio warm up before the real work starts. And this workout builds! It worked me well! I was pushing through by #11--which was a challenging combo move but doable. I credit my ability to get through #11 … Continue reading Barlates: Dynamic Flow/Functional
Fusion Flow: Mat is one of Linda Wooldridge's flowing dynamic stretch/strengthening workouts. This one was mostly a feel good workout that worked me well but wasn't challenging like some of her others. Until you get to #10 (below), that is--that exercise started to burn me out after all that came before it (plus, I had … Continue reading Barlates: Fusion Flow/Mat
