Barlates: Barre Basics Series

Barre Basics is part of a series Linda Wooldridge created. There are 3 disks and each disk contains 4 workouts. Barre Basics, Barre Intermediate and Barre Advanced. They are sold separately or you can buy all 3, which is what I did. I got the full series from Total Fitness DVDs. Their titles make the … Continue reading Barlates: Barre Basics Series

Barlates: HIIT Barre

HIIT Barre is another tough but excellent workout from Linda Wooldridge and it is free on YouTube. I have really been enjoying her new Beginner Intervals workouts but I also have always loved her barre HIIT workouts (Mix & Match HIIT, Barre Kettlebell HIIT, Sweat Series, Full Body HIIT Series--and those are just the ones … Continue reading Barlates: HIIT Barre

Barlates: Beginner Intervals: Old School Aerobics

Linda Wooldridge just released another Beginner Intervals workout and I couldn't wait to try this one! I found Old School Aerobics more intense than her other two Beginner Intervals workouts (Compound Moves and Cardio Sculpt). I love all 3 of them but this one is definitely my favorite of the 3 and actually had me … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals: Old School Aerobics

Barlates: Long Lever Upper & Lower

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

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

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

10 Pounds Down: Better Body Blast

10 Pounds Down: Better Body Blast contains 3 approx 20 minute workouts that you can play by themselves or play all of them for a 66 minute total body workout. This is another excellent workout DVD from Jessica Smith. The upper body and lower body workouts in particular were tough and challenging and very metabolic, … Continue reading 10 Pounds Down: Better Body Blast
