JessicaSmithTV: Kickboxing Ballet Body Sculpt
Kickboxing Ballet Body Sculpt is another fun (and free!) fusion workout from Jessica Smith. In this workout you get kickboxing, barre and strength training--all in just under 35 minutes and all low impact. This is not her most intense metabolic workout, but I still loved it. The intensity actually builds as the workout progresses. When … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Kickboxing Ballet Body Sculpt
Dream Body Workout Series
A long time ago I did a Dream Body stand alone workout and I hated it. I never in a million years thought I would do another one. I did get a comment at the time telling me that the series (this review) was way better than the stand alone workout I did. I still … Continue reading Dream Body Workout Series
JessicaSmithTV: Total Stretch
Total Stretch is a gentle flexibility and yoga routine Jessica did as part of a 5 day fitness challenge she did with MyFitnessPal. It is 26:30 minutes long and I did it today to finish off Jessica's Superset Sculpt, a total body strength workout. This routine finished that workout off very nicely and stretched me … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Total Stretch
JessicaSmithTV: Superset Sculpt
Superset Sculpt is yet another excellent workout from Jessica Smith. This is a total body strength workout. Jessica supsersets muscle groups and also does a combination of slow and fast tempo reps to really burn your muscles out. And because this is a circuit workout in which one set flows immediately into the next, your … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Superset Sculpt
Workout!
Workout! is the final workout I purchased at Mindy Mylrea's $3.99 sale. I've now done all of the workouts I bought at her sale and this one might be my favorite. It was very intense--no complicated moves, but I loved the combos she put together in this workout. I burned a ton of calories--500 in … Continue reading Workout!
JessicaSmithTV: Kickboxing Circuit Workout
Wow! Another awesome workout from Jessica Smith! I loved this workout! Cardio kickboxing drills alternated with metabolic weight training. It was intense and it was fun. This is a high impact workout but Jessica always shows low impact options. There also wasn't a ton of kicking in this "kick" boxing workout, but there is some … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Kickboxing Circuit Workout
The Yoga Collective
I signed up for The Yoga Collective because Groupon offered a year streaming subscription. I can't even remember how much I paid for it anymore. I want to say $11.99. Plus I had some Groupon credit, so it cost me even less than that! Seemed like a value--a whole year of yoga for $12. So … Continue reading The Yoga Collective
JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Mat Fusion 2 (Low Impact Cardio)
I am always interested in low impact cardio workouts and just about any workout Jessica Smith creates so I gave this one a try. I didn't realize until I started this workout that this is #2--there is a Cardio Mat Fusion #1 that I now have to try. I really enjoyed this workout but first … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Mat Fusion 2 (Low Impact Cardio)
JessicaSmithTV: Met Con 5
"Met Con" is short for metabolic conditioning and the "5" means the workout is made up of 5 key moves. Jessica says during the warm up that this is not a workout for beginners. And I agree. It isn't an advanced workout, but it is intermediate level and pretty intense if you are using appropriate … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Met Con 5
