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
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
Kickboxing/High Calorie Cardio Blast
Kickboxing/High Calorie Cardio Blast is another excellent and fun workout from Yvette Bachman. This one is primarily cardio kickboxing. It is one of her long classes (71:30 minutes). However the final 16:30 minutes isn't cardio. It is lower body and core work. So if you only have an hour, do the first 54 minutes of … Continue reading Kickboxing/High Calorie Cardio Blast
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
High Intensity Cardio Blast
High Intensity Cardio Blast is another excellent and fun workout from Yvette Bachman. It was just what I needed after doing primarily Fit Body by Julia workouts this week. I love Julia's workouts but they aren't fun and the time does not fly. They are just hard (but very effective) work. Yvette's workouts are fun … Continue reading High Intensity Cardio Blast
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
