Jessica's Ultimate Workouts for Weight Loss 4-DVD Collection
Hi Everyone!
I wanted to share a recent purchase of mine and RAVE about it! It is Jessica Smith's The Ultimate Workouts for Weight Loss 4-DVD Collection. Now these are not new workouts but they come bundled in a 4-pack and include: 10 Pounds Down Cardio Abs Total Body Balance Barre Fitness Walking for Weight Loss, Wellness, and Energy I got the set at Marys for about $43 after using the 10off coupon, plus free shipping. Here is why I love this:
I used to work out with The FIRM and also Cathe, but I have been wanting to get back to working out and looking for shorter workouts that were not HIIT but weren't only yoga either. These have totally hit the spot. I would say they are a great choice for working up to higher fitness levels or if you just want to have some options for low-impact, low-intensity. You could also string some of the cardio w/o's together to get some LISS (low intensity steady state) cardio sessions that are 30-60-80 min if you wanted a longer session. |
I have all of these workouts too, and Jessica is one of my favorite trainers.
I received an email of a new fall challenge from Jessica today. She has the option of doing the youtube workouts only or adding a bonus DVD to that day as well. I like that she's offering a combination on this challenge. Here's the fall Challenge: Day #1: Sat. Nov 1st -- 25-Minute Cardio Boot Camp Boogie DVD BONUS: 28-Minute Cardio Abs Day #2: Sun.

Thanks for posting the Fall Challenge schedule. I signed up for the Fall Challenge, but apparently too late (it was the day after), and I didn't get any info on it. Just one question: which DVDs are necessary for the challenge? I recently bought Cardio Abs, but I haven't bought the others, yet.
TIA! |
Hi,
Jessica is one of my absolute favorite instructors - I have all the DVDs except Cardio Abs. I'm planning to do her fall challenge sprinkled in w/ some Suzanne Bowen and Classical Stretch. She is the best! She also, IMHO, puts together very balanced rotations - I am prone to over use injuries but I have never gotten injured following Jessica's plans - I did her workouts almost exclusively this spring/summer - and I think it is b/c of the large variety of exercise styles and types and Jessica's encouragement not to kill yourself while working out.

1. Walk On: 3-DVD Super Set 2. The Ultimate Workouts for Weight Loss 4-DVD Collection Here's part of her email message that explains more about the fall challenge: "And, because so many of you have requested we include our DVDs in more of our challenges, we're offering you two special options this year: Option 1: Follow along using all of the 100% FREE routines from our YouTube Channel workouts (thanks for remembering to subscribe!) as listed below. Option 2: Follow along with our YouTube channel workouts and add in our bonus DVD routines for a little extra. We've outlined the full plan below so that you can decide before we start which option is right for you! And feel free to mix and match to best meet your schedule and needs (split up the two workouts into two sessions, do them all at once, or do the 1 you prefer for that day)." Donna- I'm planning on trying the Fall challenge too! |
We have a Jessica Smith check in available! :)

I also wanted to add that it isn't necessary to have the DVDs to do the rotation, you can use just the You Tube workouts. Another option, if you wanted to add the "bonus" workout but don't have the DVDs is to find something similar in her You Tube collection. I am probably not going to double up Jessica's workouts on most days - I do want to add some of Suzanne Bowen's workouts since I paid for her site for this month!

Candice - great review. Sounds like a nice complete set. Also makes me want to take a look at her other set of 3 workouts.

bee - I have three of the four workouts - the one I don't have is the Cardio Abs workout - and I really like them all! :) If you like her You Tube stuff you will at least like 3 of the 4 (I'm only not sure about the 4th - Cardio Abs b/c I don't have it!)
