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: Calorie Crushing Cardio

At the end of most of Jessica Smith's shorter free YouTube workouts she always says that if you feel like you can do more, keep going with some of her other short (and free) YouTube workouts. I frequently do that anyway--stacking together several workouts done by both Jessica and Linda Wooldridge. This morning I stacked … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Calorie Crushing Cardio

JessicaSmithTV: Total Body Sculpt

Total Body Sculpt is another awesome total body metabolic strength training workout. With the right weights it is intense and will give you cardio with your strength training. And in only 31 minutes! This is the area that, in my opinion, Jessica really excels at. The workout is made up of primarily compound moves--exercises that … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Total Body Sculpt

Barlates: Glide Cardio Sculpt

Glide Cardio Sculpt is part of Linda Wooldridge's Fit in 5 Series and it is available for free on YouTube. As soon as I saw it was a low impact cardio sculpt workout using sliding disks--I couldn't wait to give it a try! But I had to work it into my rotation so I didn't … Continue reading Barlates: Glide Cardio Sculpt

Barlates: Old School Series

Old School Series is a collection of 4 strength workouts by Linda Wooldridge in which she has you lifting heavier weights than what she normally uses in her workouts (she usually uses 1-2 pound hand weights or body weight). She never goes super heavy in these workouts, but they are also pretty high rep workouts. You … Continue reading Barlates: Old School Series

JessicaSmithTV: Step & Strength Circuit

Step & Strength Circuit is an awesome metabolic strength workout. It is a cardio + strength workout but I found the strength work more cardiovascularly intense than the step cardio! Jessica even commented that she was breathing harder during the strength work than during the step cardio. I was, too! The strength work is very … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Step & Strength Circuit

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: 2-in-1 Toning

2-in-1 Toning is another short but comprehensive total body metabolic strength workout. Jessica really excels at creating these short but very effective workouts. I really enjoyed this workout. The audio gets messed up during #11 below but it is restored by the end. Jessica even has words appear on the screen apologizing for the "audio … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 2-in-1 Toning

Barlates: Mat Barre Series

Mat Barre Series contains 3 workouts that use some combination of a pilates ball, a resistance loop or a resistance band--and in one of the workouts, all 3 are used. These are all total body strength workouts done on the floor (mat work). They are all very tough and effective workouts. Since none of these workouts have … Continue reading Barlates: Mat Barre Series
