JessicaSmithTV: Yoga Tone

Yoga Tone is another excellent yoga-strength fusion workout from Jessica Smith. This morning I did her Yoga Sculpt followed by this workout for a 70 minute yoga-strength routine. These aren't cardio yoga workouts but your heart rate will be elevated and you will sweat--or at least I did! Because this is a yoga workout I did … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Yoga Tone

Cardio Kickbox/Bootcamp

Wow! What a workout! A reader recommended this trainer to me: Yvette Bachman. She owns a studio in Iowa and teaches fitness classes. About 3 months ago she started posting full length workouts. So I had a look and was immediately impressed. I could tell right away that I would really like her workouts but, … Continue reading Cardio Kickbox/Bootcamp

JessicaSmithTV: Met Con (Metabolic Conditioning)

Met Con stands for Metabolic Conditioning and it is another excellent metabolic strength training workout from Jessica Smith. I used this as my cardio doubles workout. With the right weights, I found it pretty intense. I got cardio and conditioning, plus (as usual) it was very enjoyable. If I wanted to get more out of this … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Met Con (Metabolic Conditioning)

JessicaSmithTV: Strength Training for Women

Strength Training for Women is a surprisingly excellent (and short) strength training workout. It's basically total body but the focus is upper body. You do squats, but that is the only lower body exercise you do. The rest of the exercises are upper body. Jessica wants you to use heavy dumbbells, plus the rep pace … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Strength Training for Women

JessicaSmithTV: Pilates Yoga Fusion Flow

Pilates Yoga Fusion Flow was just what I needed this morning after the past few days of brutal workouts. I needed something lower key and this delivered. With this workout, Jessica Smith has created a more gentle PiYo-like workout. I use PiYo to describe a lot of things but other similar workouts would be Linda … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Pilates Yoga Fusion Flow

Fit Body by Julia: Full Body Supersets & Tabata HIIT

This is the 3rd Fit by Julia workout I have done. And wow. It was killer. Brutal and grueling but I wasn't counting the minutes like I was when I did No Equipment Crazy Cardio. This is a workout I could see myself returning to. It is long. 87:30 minutes of non-stop hard work. I … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Full Body Supersets & Tabata HIIT

Barlates: Interval Barre Fusion Lower

Interval Barre Fusion is actually a 3 DVD series but the only DVD I purchased is the one for the lower body (there is also an upper body DVD and a core DVD). They all contain three 25 minute workouts. Lower Body also has a warm and stretch (the other two probably do, too, but … Continue reading Barlates: Interval Barre Fusion Lower

JessicaSmithTV: Fusion Sculpt #1

Fusion Sculpt #1 is yet another excellent and fun metabolic strength workout from Jessica Smith. This is one of her longer workouts and she really hits every muscle group--plus you get low impact cardio intervals. So it is a total body cardio + strength workout. It was fun, effective and I loved it. With the … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Fusion Sculpt #1
