This is the 3rd Fit by Julia workout I have done. And wow. It was killer. Brutal and grueling but I wasn't counting the minutes like I was when I did No Equipment Crazy Cardio. This is a workout I could see myself returning to. It is long. 87:30 minutes of non-stop hard work. I … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Full Body Supersets & Tabata HIIT

Fit Body by Julia: No Equipment Crazy Cardio
No Equipment Crazy Cardio is a workout from Fit Body by Julia, a YouTube workout channel. Now that I have scheduled so many of Julia's workouts over the next month I have noticed that, though she performs all of the workouts, many of them are created by other people and she always gives credit to … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: No Equipment Crazy Cardio
Barlates: Interval Barre Fusion Lower
Interval Barre Fusion is actually a 3 DVD series but the only DVD I purchased is the one for the lower body (there is also an upper body DVD and a core DVD). They all contain three 25 minute workouts. Lower Body also has a warm and stretch (the other two probably do, too, but … Continue reading Barlates: Interval Barre Fusion Lower
JessicaSmithTV: Fusion Sculpt #1
Fusion Sculpt #1 is yet another excellent and fun metabolic strength workout from Jessica Smith. This is one of her longer workouts and she really hits every muscle group--plus you get low impact cardio intervals. So it is a total body cardio + strength workout. It was fun, effective and I loved it. With the … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Fusion Sculpt #1
JessicaSmithTV: Relax & Restore
Relax & Restore is another gentle and restorative yoga/flexibility routine. Nothing aggressive but you can always go deeper into the stretches if you want to (and are able to). And it is a nice way to wind down and recover after a more strenuous workout or a week of challenging workouts. I did really like this … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Relax & Restore
JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Dance Sculpt
Cardio Dance Sculpt is was a surprisingly excellent metabolic strength workout. I did not know what to expect but with the word "dance" in the title, I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. But it is created and led by Jessica Smith--which is why I tried it. With the right … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Dance Sculpt
Fit Body by Julia: HIIT to Boost Metabolism #1
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
Barlates: Glide Standing Lower
Glide Standing Lower is part of Linda Wooldridge's Fit in 5 Series and it is free on YouTube. It is the second workout in that series that I've done. The first one was Glide Cardio Sculpt which I really enjoyed. I liked this workout, too, but not nearly as much as Glide Cardio Sculpt. This … Continue reading Barlates: Glide Standing Lower
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
