JessicaSmithTV: Yoga Tone
Yoga Tone is another excellent yoga-strength fusion workout from Jessica Smith. This morning I did her Yoga Sculpt followed by this workout for a 70 minute yoga-strength routine. These aren't cardio yoga workouts but your heart rate will be elevated and you will sweat--or at least I did! Because this is a yoga workout I did … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Yoga Tone

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.

JessicaSmithTV: Strength Training for Women
Strength Training for Women is a surprisingly excellent (and short) strength training workout. It's basically total body but the focus is upper body.

Jessica wants you to use heavy dumbbells, plus the rep pace … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Strength Training for Women
Fit Body by Julia: Full Body Supersets & Tabata HIIT
This is the 3rd Fit by Julia workout I have done. And wow. It was killer. Brutal and grueling but I wasn't counting the minutes like I was when I did No Equipment Crazy Cardio. This is a workout I could see myself returning to. It is long. 87:30 minutes of non-stop hard work. I … Continue reading Fit Body by Julia: Full Body Supersets & Tabata HIIT

It was fun, effective and I loved it. With the … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Fusion Sculpt #1
JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Dance Sculpt
Cardio Dance Sculpt is was a surprisingly excellent metabolic strength workout. I did not know what to expect but with the word "dance" in the title, I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. But it is created and led by Jessica Smith--which is why I tried it. With the right … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Cardio Dance Sculpt
Fit Body by Julia: HIIT to Boost Metabolism #1
