My back is probably my favorite muscle group to work (with my glutes followed close behind) so when I saw this mini workout was only 27 minutes, I knew I had to give it a try. It could be the perfect finisher for another workout. And I was right! I loved this workout! Very intense … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Back & Lat Burst

Fit Body by Julia: Deadweight Legs
When I saw the title of this workout, I was anticipating a lower body workout. This is much more than that. This is actually a total body strength workout with a heavy lower body focus--and as the title suggests, a lot of deadlifts. But you do work all of your major upper body muscle groups … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Deadweight Legs
Cardio & Kettlebell
Wow! Another incredible workout from Yvette Bachman! I love this woman's workouts! Cardio & Kettlebell is one of her longer workouts (71:30 minutes) but this can easily be shortened for a workday (for me that is--I only have an hour in the morning M-F to workout before I go to work. I am on staycation … Continue reading Cardio & Kettlebell
Fit Body by Julia: PHAT #3
With PHAT #3 I have now done all of Julia's PHAT workouts (though they were all created by Jori, Julia performs them on her YouTube channel Fit Body by Julia and makes some modifications to Jori's workout). Like all of the PHAT workouts I really enjoyed this. It was an excellent total body metabolic strength … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: PHAT #3
Fit Body by Julia: PHAT #4
After doing PHAT #2 and not loving it nearly as much as PHAT #1, I considered not doing PHAT #3 and #4 at all. I am so glad I stuck with the plan because I love PHAT #4--as much as PHAT #1. PHAT #4 is awesome! And like PHAT #1, it will grow with you … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: PHAT #4
Fit Body by Julia: Extra Lean PHAT #2
This morning I did a long Fit Body by Julia workout: Extra Lean PHAT #2. I was really looking forward to it after doing her PHAT #1, which I loved, and also because I love the PHAT modality. And this was a good and challenging workout. I did like it and got a great workout … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Extra Lean PHAT #2
Fit Body by Julia: Upper Body Workout
Upper Body Workout is another tough workout from Fit Body by Julia and it was created by Daniela. This workout is very deceiving. One thing I love about Julia's workouts is she gives you the break down below her videos so I can create my workout card in advance and choose my weights before starting. … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Upper Body Workout
Fit Body by Julia: Heavy Volume Glute Lift w/ Squat Jumps
Wow! Heavy Volume Glute Lift w/ Squat Jumps might be the best glute workout I have ever done. It is definitely one of the most focused. My glutes were burning by the middle of the first set! Even more impressive--Julia shares at the beginning of the workout that she is almost 11 weeks pregnant and I know (since … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Heavy Volume Glute Lift w/ Squat Jumps
Fit Body by Julia: PHAT Workout
This PHAT workout is the first workout that made me take notice of Fit Body by Julia--and it was a long time ago! At least a year ago. I saved it to a playlist and never got around to doing it. Until today. And having now done it--I should have gotten to it sooner! Excellent workout! PHA … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: PHAT Workout
Freestyle Training: Back/Shoulders/Butt
Michele Lumadue is a new-to-me trainer who was recommended to me by a reader. I perused her workouts and at first was resistant due to the length of them (most are well over an hour long--pushing 2 hours--and many are over 2 hours long!). I do not have that kind of time in the mornings … Continue reading Freestyle Training: Back/Shoulders/Butt
