HIIT, Cardio Core, Weights and Bosu Ball was a super intense workout from Yvette Bachman. I was really working hard during this workout and I was worn out by the end of it! I was inspired by the fact that Yvette wears weighted gloves in just about every one of her workouts--making them even more … Continue reading HIIT, Cardio Core, Weights and Bosu ball

Walk Strong is a fitness program by Jessica Smith. It has been on my wish list since I discovered her via her YouTube workouts.

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

Legs (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio
Leg (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio was an incredible workout. I loved it! This is the second workout I've done by Yvette Bachman and it feels like I am rediscovering Cathe (and Cathe Live) for the first time. I am not implying that she creates Cathe-like workouts. Yvette's workouts are her own creation … Continue reading Legs (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio
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)
Fit Body by Julia: No Equipment Crazy Cardio
No Equipment Crazy Cardio is a workout from Fit Body by Julia, a YouTube workout channel. Now that I have scheduled so many of Julia's workouts over the next month I have noticed that, though she performs all of the workouts, many of them are created by other people and she always gives credit to … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: No Equipment Crazy Cardio
Fit Body by Julia: HIIT to Boost Metabolism #1
