Week 3, day 1 of the #SpringAhead challenge done without weights because I sprained my wrist Saturday cross country skiing. I couldn't do the planks or the hands and knees either, but I did get it done. 8 k ski Saturday was my workout for that day. Today I also did Saturday's yoga, with no planks, I did stepping during the planks. And today I also did your Walking, Exercise, Zumba: Dance Walk Full 30-Minute Walking Workout and your 5 Min Fix: Total Body Stretch Flexibility Workout For All Levels No Equipment Home Fitness. So week 2 is done a day late and week 3 started. Thanks so much Jessica! Hopefully my wrist will be better in a couple more days and I can do all the exercises again!
Really enjoyed this….I like the toning without all the cardio (I like to do that separate )…..what other videos can you recommend that are along the same lines as this was? Thanks again for another great workout!
Week 3 Day 1 #SpringAhead done! I think I've only done this workout once before. I really enjoyed it this morning and I felt so strong and in control of the weights. I started the morning with Jump Start Cardio and Cardio Party!, then did Straight Frames, and finished with Adriene Mishler's Foundations of Yoga – Sukhasana (The Easy Pose).
Week 3 of #SpringAhead has started! Hooray!
Week 3 Day 1 of the #SpringAhead challenge complete! I absolutely loved this routine-great enjoyable workout!!! I also am loving all the weight work we've done in this challenge! Now that our spring break is over, I have not been able to fit in additional walking in the morning like I did the first week. So I think what I will do is if I am able to throw short walks in throughout the day, I'll post the total minutes on the next day's check in. Thank you so much and you have an amazing blessed day!!!
Checking in for Week 3 Day 1. I'm really looking forward to this week of the challenge with all the HIIT workouts!
Did this along with some from your Cross Training for Fitnes DVD. When we had our "off" weeks (with no formal schedule) from these challenges, I did one week of this rotation, one of the Apple Shape and one of the Hourglass rotations. It was really fun.

#SpringAhead Week 3, day 1 done – forgot how much I like this routine. Today I noticed it was easier than last time and when I lay on my back I could feel my shoulder blades against the floor, I think I'm getting some results. To celebrate my shoulder blades I did the Apple shape workout as well. Thanks Jessica x
Week 3, Day 1 workout finished. Loved this workout. Really like the side lunge with curls, overhead and tricep routine, plus the tricep and crunch. Pretty much loved them all, except the regular lunges. Those always get me, but I'm getting better and can get down a little lower each time. Looking forward to the rest of the week.
I'm definitely not an Ectomorph:) but love the workout!
DONE!! TOUGH WITH HEAVY WEIGHTS BUT YOU SAVED HARDEST FOR LAST THE LUNGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#SpringAhead Wk.3 Day 1 done! This was the first time for me to do this workout. It was great! I like how one exercise hits so many body parts and the slow, controlled movements.
#SpringAhead week 3, day 1 done. Woah, nelly, that was intense, but I liked it! Managed it with 5 kg weights, which was a pleasant surprise.
#SpringAhead Challenge day 15 done! Oh the lunges…. my thighs were definitely talking to you! Oh and I loved Peanut's cameo at the end, too funny 🙂 See you tomorrow @jessicasmithtv
Oboy. I always get a little nervous when I hear Jessica say "I saved the best part for last." (LOL) I love this workout though. I especially like the chop-crunch moves on the floor, that made my back feel strong and energized! Week 3 Day 1 SpringAhead Challenge and still going like the Energizer Bunny!
Also have been doing your Quick Fix routines to break up my day. It gives me something to look forward to.
Week 3 of #SpringAhead challenge – day 1 started! Whew I never thought I would say this but those plank squats have actually become a favorite of mine. Also, I've been meaning to tell this… every morning my local news has a segment that they do each week. they visit a local gym and do sample exercises with the trainers there. what bothers me the most about it is the way I notice they set down their weights… if you could call it that. I am disappointed in the way people are throwing down their weights and after training with the best (i.e. You–Jessica) I now know that you are supposed to use your lower body to set down the weights. not bend over and throw them. I wish more people would know this!
Day 1 of week 3 of the #SpringAhead challenge completed! Started with the 12-minute Indoor Power Walk to get things warmed up. Then this workout, which I haven't done in MONTHS! I used my 8 lb. weights this time (I probably used 5 lbs. before) and it was a perfect challenge! I was able to do all reps, but my arms feel wobbly now. It's even hard to type right after the workout! I really loved it, but I have a feeling my triceps will be hurting tomorrow! And since it's been so long since I've done this one last, I can't remember but I feel like I may have not done all the reps of all the moves last time (especially all the lunges at the end!). So I know I'm getting stronger! Thanks, Jessica!
Wk 3 day 1 complete!! Cardio is okay but I love weight training!! #springaheadchallenge
Jessica, thank you so much for offering the SpringAhead Challenge, and for free too! I have become so much stronger since I started just 2 weeks ago! I actually did all those plank squats in today's workout! 2 weeks ago, I had a hard time holding a plank position at all! Can you believe it?!!! 🙂
Week 3 Day 1 for #springahead done! Paired with the yoga workout from Week 2 Day 6. Those lunges at the end, ahhhhh!
Day 15 of the #SpringAhead challenge done!!!
Week 3 Day 1 #SpringAhead challenge complete along with teaching kickbox and Zumba. This one was just the right amount of time. Thanks!
Week #3 … workout one done and done!
I'm familiar with this one but that last set of leg work at the end gets me every time! Whew!!! It was tough and my fat was seriously crying … LOL. I can see strength improvement as I used 8lb weights this time. Gonna have to get some 10lb weights soon. Yay! I has to extend my workout a bit though at the end because I find I need a slightly longer cool down. I'm excited for this week's workouts. 😎😆😄
A day behind but completed!
#SpringAhead week 3 day 1 done! When I've done the body type workouts before on my own I always did the pear and apple ones because those are much closer to my actual body type, so this was a new workout for me. But what a great strength training workout! Loved it and worked up a great sweat!
#SpringAhead Challenge Week 3, Day 1 done. I have a really difficult time on Monday. My day is planned from 5:00am until 10:00pm, and I just don't make time to exercise …. So Tuesday is my day 1, and since we do a nice stretching/flexibility routine on day 7, I'll do that on Monday. Am loving this challenge.
Even though it's Wednesday, I'm just starting this Spring Ahead week 3 workout schedule. Yesterday, I was finishing up last week's schedule with the yoga workout(which I also loved), and Monday I was lazy. I really liked this workout, and I think having the planks at the beginning helped me get through them with more strength and control. I was actually able to do them all without any modifications. In fact, I was able to do the whole workout without any modifications! Now, where's the workout for those of us with a "marshmallow" shape 😉 ?
#springahead done! I did this on Tuesday with a 60 minute walk dvd
#SpringAhead week 3 Making up for not doing this Monday. Did it today.
This is Day 2 of Week 3 for me. This was a very nice strengthening workout. Happy Easter!
I loved this! Thanks Jessica! Your workouts are amazing. I love the fact that you do them in small spaces so that you can motivate folks like me in an apartment. I have lost 47lbs since October by going to Curves and using SparkPeople (where I found you)You rock!!!!
Great Workout! Sweating good! #SpringAhead Thank you!
#SpringAhead challenge week 3 day 1 done! Never tried this one before, I like it! Lol Peanut!
Day 1, Wk 3 of SC completed. I'm really loving this challenge!
Finished one week and started the next this morning. Great workout also counting for a team challenge on SparkPeople.
My free day off my weight loss pres heddle I did this. It is one of my #favoriteexercise for weight circuit. Used 15lbs entire time except first set of lunges and first exercise at start used 10lbs.
Have been lifting so ,I have the fifteen really helped push up my heart rate and my focus on form making this workout even tougher. Since I have performed this workout with Jessica now five times I wanted to amp it up.
I just love her lifting circuits because you kill two birds with one stone, #cardio and weights. Now onto some Tracy Campoli arms, standing abs and 30minute power yoga. A shorter day than I pulled yesterday Jessica thank god lol.

Oops meant my free day to do what I want since I signed up for a pre scheduled workout series. Darned typos
2nd Spring Challenge. Week 3, Day 1. I had to push myself to do this, but glad I did. I'm still feeling last weeks challenge. I was able to do 10 pds on all the exercises, except on the final lunge sets, I did squats, so I did 4 rounds of squats. Those type of lunges really bother my knees. Side lunges are ok. I still got a great workout in and feel great.
I'm not really sure what my body type is…. But I thoroughly enjoyed this😊loved the chop crunches and the side lunge with tricep extension… And enjoyed the Peanut blooper, she always makes me smile😉
How come there are two ectomorph workouts? As a mesomorph what would be the most appropriate workout to do?
I started to think this workout was never going to end! She kept teasing us with "the last exercise" haha!
I don't have a straight frame, but I'm trying to embrace strength training.. Got quite a sweat on!! Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks Jessica.. Love your workouts. From a living room in England 🙂
This was an amazing workout which I have never done before as I was always put off by the title yet, the strength work is great and is suitable for everyone. So glad to be doing the strength stretch and steps challenge as I am trying out routines I have never done as well as rediscovering routines I have done before. I am a sweaty mess after that one.
3times per week for this set? also if im planning on doing bout 5-10minutes of exercise everday which routine should i focus on? -cardio/total body workout/ HITT? thank you
Love ur workout how many should I do this workout ? And 🙏 thank u😍❤️
I want to get straight figure, no curves, and want to decrease outer thighs, how can I get?
Does this help with hip dips?
Keep coming back to Jessica's exercises..after giving birth,before pregnant.. I think her vids suits me most.
Jessica or anyone knowledgeable about this, is there an ectomorph workout plan available? Would like to try it.
