Jessica uses a set of 10 pound … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Total Body Toning

Medicine Ball HIIT Workout

Medicine Ball HIIT Workout is another excellent and fun workout by trainer Yvette Backman. For the majority of the workout you use a medicine ball for everything--you never put it down.

Cardio HIIT/Bicep/Back/Core Circuits

Cardio HIIT/Bicep/Back/Core Circuits is another awesome workout from Yvette Bachman. I have worked every other muscle group this week except back. I had a different back workout scheduled for today but I love Yvette's workouts so much that when I saw this workout had "back" in the title I did a swap. It didn't give … Continue reading Cardio HIIT/Bicep/Back/Core Circuits

Legs (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio

Leg (& Chest) Day w/ Step & Cardio was an incredible workout. I loved it! This is the second workout I've done by Yvette Bachman and it feels like I am rediscovering Cathe (and Cathe Live) for the first time. I am not implying that she creates Cathe-like workouts.
