As I mentioned in my review of Lower Body Stretch and Free Warm Up, Linda Wooldridge has 100s of free workouts available on YouTube. Many of them have warms ups and stretches included in the workout, and many do not. Sometimes the warm up and/or stretch is very short, and maybe you want something longer. … Continue reading Barlates: Upper Body Stretch

JessicaSmithTV: 10 Minute Total Body Stretch
10 Minute Total Body Stretch is a great way to finish off a total body workout. I really love that Linda Wooldridge has her free Barlates warm up and upper and lower body stretches to start and finish workouts but she doesn't have a total body stretch to finish off a total body workout. Well, … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 10 Minute Total Body Stretch
JessicaSmithTV: Dynamic Stretch
Dynamic Stretch is a flowing active yoga routine. I really, really enjoyed this. I have been doing a lot of Jessica's stretching and yoga routines lately and I do like them a lot but they are pretty gentle. I like that this one is a bit more aggressive. Now, it's definitely not an aggressive yoga … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Dynamic Stretch

JessicaSmithTV: Short & Sweet Stretch
Jessica's stretching routine is exactly what the title says--short and sweet. She gives you a total body stretch in just 16:30 minutes. Today I used this workout to finish off one of Linda Wooldridge's Barlates total body mat strength routines.

JessicaSmithTV: Stretch, Rest & Relax
Stretch, Rest & Relax is a 30 minute full body stretching routine from Jessica Smith. It is nice and gentle, and Jessica stretches you out thoroughly from head to toe. It is filmed in Jessica's backyard. I think I've seen every inch of Jessica's house--inside and out! Just from doing her workouts. Equipment: a mat, … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Stretch, Rest & Relax
JessicaSmithTV: Recovery Day Routine
Recovery Day Routine is another nice, relaxing flexibility routine from Jessica Smith. The title says it is 20 minutes but it is actually 26:30 minutes long. This was exactly what I needed after a week of Barlates. This morning (and yesterday) every single muscle in my body was hurting. I started with Jessica's Kickboxing Ballet … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Recovery Day Routine
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
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
