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: Straight Up Strength Training

Straight Up Strength Training is just what the title indicates--a total body strength workout. Jessica says she doesn't want you to do this workout unless you are fresh and ready to lift heavy--not sore from another workout. Well, I am always sore from some workout but I did this workout anyway. I really enjoyed this … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Straight Up Strength Training

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: Yoga Barre Fusion

Yoga Barre Fusion is a collection of 3 workouts from Linda Wooldridge that combine yoga and barre into intense body weight strength workouts. Do not let the word yoga in the title make you think you will hold any pose for long--at least not during the majority of any of the workouts. The actual holding … Continue reading Barlates: Yoga Barre Fusion

JessicaSmithTV: Ballet Burn

Ballet Burn is a recovery level workout from Jessica Smith with some mild cardio, barre and toning. This was another very nice recovery day workout. Jessica works you well--but not too hard. I was never really sweating at any part of this workout, but I did perspire a bit. I did feel like I got a … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Ballet Burn

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: Cardio Barefoot Flow

Cardio Barefoot Flow is part of Jessica Smith's "live from the living room" workout series. Jessica says this is an endurance cardio workout; you won't get breathless and it is good for a recovery day. I was impressed with this workout. I really liked it a lot. It wasn't terribly intense, but it was a … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Barefoot Flow

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: Kick Butt Kickboxing

Kick Butt Kickboxing is a great cardio kickboxing workout. Definitely not the most intense kickboxing workout I've ever done, but it was fun and gave me a good workout. It is made up of punching and kicking drills (but no punch/kick drills) and some cardio bursts. I wore 2 pound weighted gloves to increase intensity. … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Kick Butt Kickboxing

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
