…so I do it at home
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
Upper Body Strength is quick but thorough and efficient upper body strength workout. I used in combination with Jessica's 40 minute Leg Day for an hour long total body strength workout. If you use heavy enough weights, this is pretty intense. Upper Body Strength Workout is 21 minutes long; 2:30 minute warm up and Jessica … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Upper Body Strength
2-in-1 Toning is another short but comprehensive total body metabolic strength workout. Jessica really excels at creating these short but very effective workouts. I really enjoyed this workout. The audio gets messed up during #11 below but it is restored by the end. Jessica even has words appear on the screen apologizing for the "audio … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 2-in-1 Toning
Weight Loss Cardio Sculpt isn't a cardio workout. Jessica says that the point of the title is to understand that cardio burns calories in the moment but building muscle burns calories all of the time. This is a metabolic circuit workout. With the right weights, this workout is intense enough to give you a cardio workout, too--that is … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Weight Loss Cardio Sculpt
Cardio Sculpt is not a cardio workout but a metabolic strength training workout. So it is a fast paced circuit workout where one exercises flows into the next with little to no rest. That is the cardio/metabolic factor. For only 20 minutes, this was a great little workout. I used it in combination w/ Jessica's … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Sculpt

HIIT Strength Pilates Yoga Mash Up is an incredible workout from Jessica Smith that, as you can tell by the title, mashes a lot of different types of modalities into a single (long) workout. This workout was amazing! One of the best workouts I've ever done--and it is free for everyone on YouTube! Thank you … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: HIIT Strength Pilates Yoga Mash Up
Barre Bootcamp Series contains three 40 minute barre bootcamp workouts: Total Body, Sculpt, and Box. Here is a video clip showing all 3 workouts. I wanted these workouts very bad. But when Linda first announced them the only way to even pre-order them was through Total Fitness DVDs and even then it was only available … Continue reading Barlates: Barre Bootcamp Series
Upper Body Light & Heavy is a collection of 4 upper body workouts that are all 30 minutes or less and hit your upper body through different modalities. It is part of Linda Wooldridge's vast Barlates series workouts. One of these workouts (Pyramid Upper Body) is also available for free on YouTube but the other … Continue reading Barlates: Upper Body Light & Heavy
Kickboxing Ballet Body Sculpt is another fun (and free!) fusion workout from Jessica Smith. In this workout you get kickboxing, barre and strength training--all in just under 35 minutes and all low impact. This is not her most intense metabolic workout, but I still loved it. The intensity actually builds as the workout progresses. When … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Kickboxing Ballet Body Sculpt
