Personal Training with Jackie: Power Circuit Training
January 14, 2010 by Jenn
The last time we reviewed one of Jackie Warner’s DVDs, we gave it four stars. Four stars! We rarely give anything four stars. (To see our fave DVDs, click here.) So we had high hopes for Personal Training with Jackie: Power Circuit Training, especially... Continue reading...

Kathy Smith: Total Body Lift
