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: 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: Leg Day
The name of this video is actually Legs, Butt, Hips & Thighs Workout but one of the first things Jessica says at the beginning of the workout is that it is Leg Day. Plus that is the first thing she writes in the workout description. I like the sound of that for a workout title, … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Leg Day

JessicaSmithTV: HIIT Strength Pilates Yoga Mash Up
HIIT Strength Pilates Yoga Mash Up is an incredible workout from Jessica Smith that, as you can tell by the title, mashes a lot of different types of modalities into a single (long) workout. This workout was amazing! One of the best workouts I've ever done--and it is free for everyone on YouTube! Thank you … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: HIIT Strength Pilates Yoga Mash Up
Dream Body Workout Series
A long time ago I did a Dream Body stand alone workout and I hated it. I never in a million years thought I would do another one. I did get a comment at the time telling me that the series (this review) was way better than the stand alone workout I did. I still … Continue reading Dream Body Workout Series
Workout!
Workout! is the final workout I purchased at Mindy Mylrea's $3.99 sale. I've now done all of the workouts I bought at her sale and this one might be my favorite. It was very intense--no complicated moves, but I loved the combos she put together in this workout. I burned a ton of calories--500 in … Continue reading Workout!
JessicaSmithTV: Kickboxing Circuit Workout
Wow! Another awesome workout from Jessica Smith! I loved this workout! Cardio kickboxing drills alternated with metabolic weight training. It was intense and it was fun. This is a high impact workout but Jessica always shows low impact options. There also wasn't a ton of kicking in this "kick" boxing workout, but there is some … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Kickboxing Circuit Workout
JessicaSmithTV: Met Con 5
"Met Con" is short for metabolic conditioning and the "5" means the workout is made up of 5 key moves. Jessica says during the warm up that this is not a workout for beginners. And I agree. It isn't an advanced workout, but it is intermediate level and pretty intense if you are using appropriate … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Met Con 5
