Barlates: Bodyweight Basics Lower

I thought, by the title (Bodyweight Basics Lower), this might be more my speed. I don't have a problem with Linda's Beginner Interval workouts right now, but her Endurance 90 Lower killed me. I thought--maybe this will be easier than Endurance 90 Lower. And it probably is easier. But chemo is really tearing me down … Continue reading Barlates: Bodyweight Basics Lower

Barlates: Beginner Intervals: Ramp It Up

Beginner Intervals: Ramp It Up is the fourth workout in Linda Wooldridge's Beginner Interval series. The other 3 workouts are Old School Aerobics, Compound Moves and Cardio Sculpt. I love all of these workouts but I think Old School Aerobics is still my favorite. Ramp It Up, as indicated by the title, is a bit … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals: Ramp It Up

Barlates: Endurance 90 Lower

Endurance 90 Lower is a super tough (IMHO) workout from Linda Wooldridge. I've really been wanting to do this workout ever since Linda posted it to YouTube but I am getting chemo and my workouts are all over the place. I either cannot workout at all, or I have to do something really easy (Jessica … Continue reading Barlates: Endurance 90 Lower

Walk On: 21 Day Weight Loss Plan

Walk On: 21 Day Weight Loss Plan is a workout program from Jessica Smith for beginners. Because I am currently undergoing chemo, I purchased quite a few of Jessica's Walk On DVDs/programs. I need workouts at this level on hand to get me through the rough days during chemo. And this program worked perfectly for that. Though I … Continue reading Walk On: 21 Day Weight Loss Plan

Barlates: HIIT Barre

HIIT Barre is another tough but excellent workout from Linda Wooldridge and it is free on YouTube. I have really been enjoying her new Beginner Intervals workouts but I also have always loved her barre HIIT workouts (Mix & Match HIIT, Barre Kettlebell HIIT, Sweat Series, Full Body HIIT Series--and those are just the ones … Continue reading Barlates: HIIT Barre

Barlates: Beginner Intervals: Old School Aerobics

Linda Wooldridge just released another Beginner Intervals workout and I couldn't wait to try this one! I found Old School Aerobics more intense than her other two Beginner Intervals workouts (Compound Moves and Cardio Sculpt). I love all 3 of them but this one is definitely my favorite of the 3 and actually had me … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals: Old School Aerobics

JessicaSmithTV: HIIT for Beginners: Kickboxing Interval Training

Kickboxing Interval Training is another HIIT for Beginners workout offered free on YouTube by Jessica Smith. It is the 3rd one I've done so far and probably the most intense of the 3. It is not an intense workout but a nice little cardio boxing workout. I really enjoyed it. I created a low impact … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: HIIT for Beginners: Kickboxing Interval Training

Barlates: Beginner Intervals Compound Moves

Compound Moves is the other Beginner Intervals workout Linda Wooldridge created and posted to YouTube. Yesterday I did and reviewed Cardio Sculpt. Not an intense workout but lots of fun and I really enjoyed it. Same with this workout. Compound Moves is similar to Cardio Sculpt--the moves are different but it is a short (20 … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals Compound Moves

Barlates: Beginner Intervals Cardio Sculpt

I was very excited when Linda Wooldridge posted her Beginner Intervals workouts (she has posted two now). She posted this one on March 12 which was 3 days after my mastectomy--so it was a perfect workout for me. Not immediately but perfect for when I could start working out again. I have already started exercising … Continue reading Barlates: Beginner Intervals Cardio Sculpt

Killer Cardio

Jillian Michaels Killer Cardio DVD contains 2 short cardio workouts. They are both structured in tabata format (20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of recovery). They both have 4 circuits containing 4 exercises and each circuit is repeated. I really enjoyed both of these workouts. They are not the most intense workouts I … Continue reading Killer Cardio
