Fit Body by Julia: No Equipment Crazy Cardio

No Equipment Crazy Cardio is a workout from Fit Body by Julia, a YouTube workout channel. Now that I have scheduled so many of Julia's workouts over the next month I have noticed that, though she performs all of the workouts, many of them are created by other people and she always gives credit to … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: No Equipment Crazy Cardio

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

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

JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Dance Sculpt

Cardio Dance Sculpt is was a surprisingly excellent metabolic strength workout. I did not know what to expect but with the word "dance" in the title, I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. But it is created and led by Jessica Smith--which is why I tried it. With the right … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Dance Sculpt

Fit Body by Julia: HIIT to Boost Metabolism #1

I have been following Fit Body by Julia on YouTube for over a year. Ever since she posted her first PHAT workout. But I never did get around to trying it. But recently an email from a reader prompted me to finally work some of her workouts into my rotation. I have 3 planned (including … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: HIIT to Boost Metabolism #1

JessicaSmithTV: Quick Cardio Fast Blast

Quick Cardio Fast Blast is also called 150 Calorie Fat Blast. But unlike other trainers, at the beginning of this workout Jessica explains that calorie burn is relative to a lot of things--how intense you go (are you giving the workout 110% effort?), your height, your weight, your age and other things. I will also … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Quick Cardio Fast Blast

JessicaSmithTV: Fastest Fat Blaster

As I mentioned in my review of Jessica's Calorie Crushing Cardio, this morning I stacked together 4 of Jessica's workouts and got an awesome workout that was 68 minutes long. I started with Calorie Crushing Cardio, went right into this workout, directly into Cardio Yoga Flow and ended with 13 Minute Total Body Quick Stretch. … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Fastest Fat Blaster

JessicaSmithTV: Calorie Crushing Cardio

At the end of most of Jessica Smith's shorter free YouTube workouts she always says that if you feel like you can do more, keep going with some of her other short (and free) YouTube workouts. I frequently do that anyway--stacking together several workouts done by both Jessica and Linda Wooldridge. This morning I stacked … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Calorie Crushing Cardio

Barlates: Glide Cardio Sculpt

Glide Cardio Sculpt is part of Linda Wooldridge's Fit in 5 Series and it is available for free on YouTube. As soon as I saw it was a low impact cardio sculpt workout using sliding disks--I couldn't wait to give it a try! But I had to work it into my rotation so I didn't … Continue reading Barlates: Glide Cardio Sculpt

JessicaSmithTV: Ballet Burn

Ballet Burn is a recovery level workout from Jessica Smith with some mild cardio, barre and toning. This was another very nice recovery day workout. Jessica works you well--but not too hard. I was never really sweating at any part of this workout, but I did perspire a bit. I did feel like I got a … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Ballet Burn
