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.

Gliding Extreme
Just as the title implies this is an extreme workout. It is advanced and it is tough. BTW--I loved it. Excellent, excellent workout from Mindy Mylrea. Gliding Extreme is set outside in a meadow. There is a large round platform set in the grass and Mindy does all of her sliding on this platform. It's just Mindy--no … Continue reading Gliding Extreme
Total Body Double G Workout
Finally! Another Mindy Mylrea workout I enjoyed! I was disappointed in her last two that I tried and was starting to worry. This is another of the many Mindy workouts I got at her $3.99 sale. The big draw of that sale for me was her medicine ball and gliding disk workouts and, since this one combined … Continue reading Total Body Double G Workout

JessicaSmithTV: HIIT Mash Up
HIIT Mash Up is a 61 minute workout from Jessica Smith--and it is free on YouTube. Though this workout is intense and worked me hard, I don't know that it deserves "HIIT" in the title. My heart rate never peaked but it did get my heart rate up into the cardio zone and kept it … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: HIIT Mash Up
Katami 4X4

"4x4" refers to the structure of the 8 main workouts in the program. There are 4 circuits in each … Continue reading Katami 4X4
Barlates: 5 Best Exercises Series
Barlates 5 Best Exercise Series is a collection of mini workouts from Linda Wooldridge. Each workout focuses on a single muscle group, contains 5 exercises for that muscle group and each exercise is done for a full minute. You'd be surprised at how quickly 5 exercises can fry a muscle group. I used (and am still … Continue reading Barlates: 5 Best Exercises Series
