This was definitely a beginner level workout but that's obviously the purpose of it. It is straight walking variations. Though there are one minute intervals of higher intensity I cannot imagine this actually being a HIIT workout. But who knows? Everyone's fitness level is different. I did like it for some very low impact and … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: HIIT for Beginners: Walking Interval Cardio Workout

Barlates: Ballet Sculpt Lower
I am currently limited to low impact cardio and standing lower body work that uses no dumbbells. So I have been doing lots of barre workouts! This is one of Linda Wooldridge's free Barlates workouts on YouTube. It has been on my To Do list for a while and I finally got to it this … Continue reading Barlates: Ballet Sculpt Lower
JessicaSmithTV: HIIT for Beginners: Cardio Intervals
Since I need to stick with low impact cardio for a while, I decided to check out some of Jessica Smith's free YouTube HIIT for Beginner workouts. I did get a better cardio workout from this than I did from her 1 Mile Belly, Buns & Thighs Walk. It isn't super intense--at least when done … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: HIIT for Beginners: Cardio Intervals
JessicaSmithTV: Lunge Free Lower Body Workout
As I mentioned in my post about Jessica Smith's 1 Mile Belly, Buns & Thigh Walk, I am getting back to working out today but starting slow with short, low impact and lower body focused workouts. So I started with Jessica's 15 minute walk and finished with this 15 minute barre workout. This wasn't the … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Lunge Free Lower Body Workout
JessicaSmithTV: 1 Mile Belly, Buns & Thighs Walk
I have been away for a while but I am back! Not at the same level I was pre-surgery but I am starting recovery level workouts that focus on my lower body and have no impact. This looked perfect. This is one of Jessica Smith's free YouTube workouts. She has a lot of free walking … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 1 Mile Belly, Buns & Thighs Walk
Killer Cardio
Jillian Michaels Killer Cardio DVD contains 2 short cardio workouts. They are both structured in tabata format (20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of recovery). They both have 4 circuits containing 4 exercises and each circuit is repeated. I really enjoyed both of these workouts. They are not the most intense workouts I … Continue reading Killer Cardio
Cardio Back & Bicep Burn
I am feeling much better this morning so I was thrilled to actually enjoy my workout again! I didn't take Nyquil last night so that wasn't dragging me down this morning either. This morning was Cardio Back & Bicep Burn by Yvette Bachman. This is one of her newer workouts and I knew from the … Continue reading Cardio Back & Bicep Burn
Cardio Kickboxing, Triceps & Abs
I am getting very frustrated with this illness. I can't seem to shake this head cold and the Nyquil I am taking so I can sleep (and breathe) at night is kicking my butt. I love my morning workouts but the past few days I have been struggling through them thanks to the cold and … Continue reading Cardio Kickboxing, Triceps & Abs
10 Pounds Down
Jessica Smith has done several workouts with the title 10 Pounds Down but apparently this is the first because it does not have a subtitle like the others do (Better Body Blast and Cardio Abs). However this DVD contains two hour long workouts: Total Body Tune Up and Weight Loss Cardio Mix. Total Body Tune … Continue reading 10 Pounds Down
10 Pounds Down: Better Body Blast
10 Pounds Down: Better Body Blast contains 3 approx 20 minute workouts that you can play by themselves or play all of them for a 66 minute total body workout. This is another excellent workout DVD from Jessica Smith. The upper body and lower body workouts in particular were tough and challenging and very metabolic, … Continue reading 10 Pounds Down: Better Body Blast
