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: Metabolic Circuit
Metabolic Circuit is another excellent metabolic strength training workout from Jessica Smith. There is no cardio in this workout but by using exercises that work the upper and lower body at the same time, high reps and a fairly brisk pace, you will get your heart rate into the cardio zone and burn calories while … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Metabolic Circuit
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
JessicaSmithTV: Total Body Sculpt
Total Body Sculpt is another awesome total body metabolic strength training workout. With the right weights it is intense and will give you cardio with your strength training. And in only 31 minutes! This is the area that, in my opinion, Jessica really excels at. The workout is made up of primarily compound moves--exercises that … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Total Body Sculpt
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
JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Barefoot Flow
Cardio Barefoot Flow is part of Jessica Smith's "live from the living room" workout series. Jessica says this is an endurance cardio workout; you won't get breathless and it is good for a recovery day. I was impressed with this workout. I really liked it a lot. It wasn't terribly intense, but it was a … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Barefoot Flow
JessicaSmithTV: Step & Strength Circuit
Step & Strength Circuit is an awesome metabolic strength workout. It is a cardio + strength workout but I found the strength work more cardiovascularly intense than the step cardio! Jessica even commented that she was breathing harder during the strength work than during the step cardio. I was, too! The strength work is very … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Step & Strength Circuit
