A long time ago I did a Dream Body stand alone workout and I hated it. I never in a million years thought I would do another one. I did get a comment at the time telling me that the series (this review) was way better than the stand alone workout I did. I still … Continue reading Dream Body Workout Series

JessicaSmithTV: Kickboxing Circuit Workout
Wow! Another awesome workout from Jessica Smith! I loved this workout! Cardio kickboxing drills alternated with metabolic weight training. It was intense and it was fun. This is a high impact workout but Jessica always shows low impact options. There also wasn't a ton of kicking in this "kick" boxing workout, but there is some … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Kickboxing Circuit Workout
JessicaSmithTV: Met Con 5
"Met Con" is short for metabolic conditioning and the "5" means the workout is made up of 5 key moves. Jessica says during the warm up that this is not a workout for beginners. And I agree. It isn't an advanced workout, but it is intermediate level and pretty intense if you are using appropriate … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Met Con 5
GymRa: Grueling HIIT Workout (25 Minutes)
I added the (25 minutes) to the title because GymRa has a second workout with the exact same title and exact same trainer (Raneir Pollard)--except it's 26 minutes. I have already reviewed Raneir's 26 Min Grueling HIIT, so I needed something to set them apart. This is another great workout led by Raneir. The intensity … Continue reading GymRa: Grueling HIIT Workout (25 Minutes)
JessicaSmithTV: Barefoot Fusion Sculpt Workout
Barefoot Fusion Sculpt is a low impact workout from Jessica Smith's YouTube channel. It isn't a low impact cardio workout--it is a strength workout but it is a circuit workout in which one move flows into the next so your heart rate is elevated. I didn't burn a ton of calories but it worked very … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Barefoot Fusion Sculpt Workout
Boost Metabolism + Muscle
Boost Metabolism + Muscle is a workout DVD by Jessica Smith that has been on my wishlist for a long time but I couldn't decide to get it until I discovered Jessica's YouTube channel JessicaSmithTV. I have done a lot of her free YouTube workouts and I love them--so I finally bought it. This DVD … Continue reading Boost Metabolism + Muscle
GymRa: Grueling HIIT Workout (26 Minutes)
I added the (26 minutes) to the title because GymRa has a second workout with the exact same title and exact same trainer (Raneir Pollard)--except it's 25 minutes. I will be doing and reviewing that one here also, so they need something to set them apart. With the right weights, this is a short but … Continue reading GymRa: Grueling HIIT Workout (26 Minutes)
Barlates: Pyramid Upper Body
Wow. This was a tough and excellent workout! A little different from what I have become accustomed to with Barlates workouts, but I still loved it. Linda has done some other excellent strength workouts using heavier dumbbells but, other than Back Strength, nothing this comprehensive (that I have done yet, that is). It is based … Continue reading Barlates: Pyramid Upper Body
Barlates: Pyramid Lower Body
I bought this workout from Linda on Ebay. She has her own Ebay store where she sells workout DVDs--her Barlates workouts and lots of other trainers' workouts. You can also buy it directly from her website. Since I don't know if/how long her ebay listing will be up, here is the link to this workout on her website. There … Continue reading Barlates: Pyramid Lower Body
JessicaSmithTV: 30 Minute H.I.I.T.
Jessica Smith's 30 Minute H.I.I.T. is an excellent workout that I (of course) love, but it's not really a HIIT workout. It is an interval workout and I loved it, but I didn't find it HIIT level intense. I have the day off today (4 day weekend) so I got to do a longer morning … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: 30 Minute H.I.I.T.
