This was an excellent total body barre workout using light weights. The only muscle group not touched is your back. Linda Wooldridge offers this workout free on YouTube. When the workout begins, the intro/title screen says "Glute Bridge on the Ball" but it is actually Long Lever Upper & Lower, as labeled--so don't worry! You … Continue reading Barlates: Long Lever Upper & Lower

JessicaSmithTV: HIIT for Beginners: Kickboxing Interval Training
Kickboxing Interval Training is another HIIT for Beginners workout offered free on YouTube by Jessica Smith. It is the 3rd one I've done so far and probably the most intense of the 3. It is not an intense workout but a nice little cardio boxing workout. I really enjoyed it. I created a low impact … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: HIIT for Beginners: Kickboxing Interval Training
Barlates: Beginner Intervals Compound Moves
Compound Moves is the other Beginner Intervals workout Linda Wooldridge created and posted to YouTube. Yesterday I did and reviewed Cardio Sculpt. Not an intense workout but lots of fun and I really enjoyed it. Same with this workout. Compound Moves is similar to Cardio Sculpt--the moves are different but it is a short (20 … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals Compound Moves
Barlates: Beginner Intervals Cardio Sculpt
I was very excited when Linda Wooldridge posted her Beginner Intervals workouts (she has posted two now). She posted this one on March 12 which was 3 days after my mastectomy--so it was a perfect workout for me. Not immediately but perfect for when I could start working out again. I have already started exercising … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals Cardio Sculpt
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: 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
