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
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

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
GymRa: Grueling HIIT Workout (25 Minutes)
I added the (25 minutes) to the title because GymRa has a second workout with the exact same title and exact same trainer (Raneir Pollard)--except it's 26 minutes. I have already reviewed Raneir's 26 Min Grueling HIIT, so I needed something to set them apart. This is another great workout led by Raneir. The intensity … Continue reading GymRa: Grueling HIIT Workout (25 Minutes)
GymRa: Grueling HIIT Workout (26 Minutes)
I added the (26 minutes) to the title because GymRa has a second workout with the exact same title and exact same trainer (Raneir Pollard)--except it's 25 minutes. I will be doing and reviewing that one here also, so they need something to set them apart. With the right weights, this is a short but … Continue reading GymRa: Grueling HIIT Workout (26 Minutes)
JessicaSmithTV: 30 Minute H.I.I.T.
Jessica Smith's 30 Minute H.I.I.T. is an excellent workout that I (of course) love, but it's not really a HIIT workout. It is an interval workout and I loved it, but I didn't find it HIIT level intense. I have the day off today (4 day weekend) so I got to do a longer morning … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 30 Minute H.I.I.T.
