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.

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
