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 Tone
Yoga Tone is another excellent yoga-strength fusion workout from Jessica Smith. This morning I did her Yoga Sculpt followed by this workout 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 did! Because this is a yoga workout I did … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Yoga Tone
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: Met Con (Metabolic Conditioning)
Met Con stands for Metabolic Conditioning and it is another excellent metabolic strength training workout from Jessica Smith. I used this as my cardio doubles workout. With the right weights, I found it pretty intense. I got cardio and conditioning, plus (as usual) it was very enjoyable. If I wanted to get more out of this … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Met Con (Metabolic Conditioning)
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: Pilates Yoga Fusion Flow
Pilates Yoga Fusion Flow was just what I needed this morning after the past few days of brutal workouts. I needed something lower key and this delivered. With this workout, Jessica Smith has created a more gentle PiYo-like workout. I use PiYo to describe a lot of things but other similar workouts would be Linda … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Pilates Yoga Fusion 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
JessicaSmithTV: Fusion Sculpt #1
Fusion Sculpt #1 is yet another excellent and fun metabolic strength workout from Jessica Smith. This is one of her longer workouts and she really hits every muscle group--plus you get low impact cardio intervals. So it is a total body cardio + strength workout. It was fun, effective and I loved it. With the … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Fusion Sculpt #1
