…so I do it at home
It's been a rough week. On Saturday morning my back went out and I've been in pain ever since. I've been reduced to yoga for back pain workouts. I found 4 workouts by Jessica Smith for people with back pain and every morning for the past few days I have attempted this one but could … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 20-Minute Total Body Strength [Back Friendly] Workout

My back is still keeping me from working out so I decided to try another one of Sara Beth's yoga routines for back pain. Yesterday I did her 30 Minute Yoga for Low Back Pain and it was great--gentle and it felt good. This morning I did her 30 Minute Yoga for Sciatica and Low … Continue reading SaraBethYoga: 30 Minute Yoga for Sciatica and Low Back Pain (All Levels)
The best laid plans of mice and men.... Currently that Robert Burn's quote defines my fitness life. I will be taking a long vacation in May--almost the entire month--and I really wanted to be finished with Heather Robertson's 12 week program plus Caroline Girvan's EPIC Endgame (since I am doing them both at the same … Continue reading SaraBethYoga: 30 Minute Yoga for Low Back Pain (All Levels)
Today is my cardio day so I decided to do Michelle Briehler's 50 Min Trampoline Cardio Workout | Plus Glutes & Abs, which is primarily a cardio workout but Michelle packs a lot of other things into this workout, too. It also contains 7 minutes of dedicated mat-based glute work and 11 minutes of core … Continue reading 50 MIN Trampoline CARDIO Workout | JUMPSPORT Rebounder | Plus Glutes & Abs
Booty Builder: Lower Body Strength Workout is Day 9 in Heather Robertson's 12 Week Program. This was a tough metabolic lower body strength workout! I chalk that entirely up to the interval times. You only get 10 seconds of rest between intervals and it gets brutal. Circuit 2 and Circuit 4 especially kicked my butt … Continue reading Booty Builder: Lower Body Strength Workout // Day 9 HR12WEEK 2.0
Brawny Back and Biceps Workout + Abs & Core is Day 8 in Caroline Girvan's EPIC Endgame. Another tough upper body strength workout from Caroline. She hits everything hard in this workout--back, biceps and abs. She was really burning out during the ab work and during the finisher. The ab work was killing me, too! … Continue reading BRAWNY Back and Biceps Workout + Abs & Core | EPIC Endgame Day 8
Lifted Lower Body Workout is Day 7 in Caroline Girvan's EPIC Endgame program. This was a tough lower body workout! Caroline kept burning my muscles out!

30 Min Cardio Rebounder Workout is a rebounder workout led by trainer Jen Brown of GymRa. This is the second rebounder workout I've done by Jen. I really enjoyed the other one, too (30 Min Cardio Rebounder Routine). Jen has a great, encouraging presence. This is a cardio workout but Jen sneaks in some core … Continue reading GymRa: 30 Min Cardio Rebounder Workout
Shoulders, Chest & Triceps Superset Workout is Day 6 in Heather Robertson's 12 Week Program. This is a good upper body workout but not Heather's best. It felt more metabolic to me than anything else but there are some solid strength exercises. I did get a good workout but this is not one I will … Continue reading Shoulders, Chest & Triceps Superset Workout // Day 6 HR12WEEK 2.0
