Yayy Me! I did all 52mins and 15 seconds...on a weeknight...after 9 hours at the job...3 hours in traffic...and a preschooler fighting bedtime! But that was an another awesome workout and I was definitely feel it even with my lil 2lb weights!

As a ballet dancer, I especially appreciate this workout - energizing, fun, challenging; and of course Peanut is a cute bonus feature :)

Thanks Yvonne! So glad you liked it and we will have another challenge soon so please stay tuned! Thanks for your hard work!

Way! Love that we could dance out the challenge today Veronica! Thanks for working so hard with me these past 5 weeks, and please stay tuned - more challenges to come!

Thanks for joining us Heather! You did a really great job with the challenge - keep it up and please stay tuned - more challenges to come soon!

Way to go Frances! Thanks for joining me for the challenge and I love that you want to do it all over again too! This is just the beginning, there will be more challenges in the future, so please stay tuned!

It's been about 2 1/2 years since I've taken a ballet class. I still dance, but I've forgotten how much a killer ballet is ha. Thank you for these workouts!

Jessica, this was a fantastic workout. I never even considered doing a barre workout because I thought you had to have a barre. I love how you incorporate so many different types of exercise in your workouts. For the first time in my life, I'm actually looking forward to and enjoying exercising. My favorite part of this workout was when Peanut did her tongue "exercises" on your face and ear. I literally laughed out loud. Thanks so much!

Thanks for joining us for the past 5 weeks Denise! It's been an honor to be your workout partner :) Great job!! Keep it up!

Way to go Leisha! Thanks so much for working so hard with me these past 5 weeks - its been an honor to be your workout partner! And not to worry, there will be more challenges in the near future :-)

This workout has literally improved my back view and has toned my body in exceptional ways! It's amazing how this low impact and gentle movement workout challenges and changes many trouble areas. It's definitely one of my favorite go-tos!

I love, love, LOVE the barre routines. They totally exhaust my muscles without being painful in the wrong places (joints, etc). I could do this one everyday. I always feel taller after.

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed the challenge - thanks for all of your hard work these past few weeks. Keep it up and stay tuned - more challenges to come soon!

I love your workout videos. What I like about about it is that I don't get lazy during the videos and give up. You energize me and I'm craving for more workout time. Thank you jessica

Day 5 finished. Have had a tiring day but committed to making sure I complete the whole boot camp!

Loved this as I love all Jessica’s routines because of the variety she provides. This Barre routine was a terrific moderate intensity day workout and there are lots of challenges in there. My glutes were shaking at one stage. It was fun and the time passed by very fast. Peanut was adorable as usual.

Great choice Rachel! Thanks so much for joining me for the challenge! You did an awesome job sticking with it and I'm so glad YOU are glad you participated :-D Please stay tuned - more challenges to come soon!

This is my second time through SOS and my second time through this workout. It's still a challenge! Thanks for such creative and varied workouts, Jessica! Boredom is never a problem when I'm working out with you!

I have enjoyed your ballet workouts. Today doing the full length I feel like i worked all parts of my body. Thanks Jessica! it is very important for me to have movement everyday. I also notice it makes my yoga classes so much more fluid.

Day 5 done. Yay!!! I preview this yesterday and fooled myself into thinking it was going to be easy. Boy was I wrong, my body is feeling it. Another good workout Jessica.

Just found your channel last week and I love it! I am an avid exercisers, and I used to do ballet as a kiddo...muscles I didn't even know hurt, and I feel so stretched, toned, and lean after your workouts. THANK YOU!!!!!

Thanks Deborah! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the challenge and appreciate your kind words! It's been so fun for me too to get to communicate with you all and get to know you all a little better. Thanks for inviting me into your home to workout ;)

I love this ballet routine! Everything is so fluid and intuitive that before I know it, it's done! Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to fitness Jessics!

Aw, thank you so much for your kind words Taria! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the challenge and it's been an honor to be your workout partner these past 5 weeks. And please stay tuned - more challenges to come soon!

My dance class was cancelled today, so I did this instead. This gave me the burn from the workout and the soul from the dance moves. I liked that the moves could be done by any level. 47:35 was so funny! Thank you Jessica and Peanut!

This is superb. I am a dance/fitness instructor and will share this with my class. Well done - moves quickly from one muscle group to another - great comprehensive workout. Love the dog!

Jessica this has been such a fun 5 week challenge. You have a fan for life! I am a fitness enthusiast and didn't expect to enjoy your routines as much as I did. The fact that you responded to each and everyone of us over the course of these five weeks is a true testament to your great character. THANKS!

Wherever you are Jessica, THANK YOU! This is a great routine and you sure know how to present. Feels like a 1-2-1 session! Your encouragement and friendly personality get me through the hard bits. But the award for laughs goes to Peanut 😊 Just adorable! I only discovered the two of you recently but it means I have tons of videos to discover! Yay! Keep up the great work 🙌

Lmao this dog is cracking me up i have to do this workout just to watch him be absolutely knocked out....too funny!

Thanks so much Alison! It's been a thrill to be your workout partner - all the way from Australia! Thanks to YOU for all the hard work & sweat you gave me these past 5 weeks! And please stay tuned - more challenges to come very soon! xoxo

This was the workout I did for day 27. All done!! I can't believe tomorrow is already the final day of the challenge!

Way to work it Jessica! Thanks for joining me for the challenge - keep up the great work!

With HIIT and all these new workouts one forgets that this type of exercise can kick butt!!!

Best part of the video is cute lil Peanut sleeping throughout the workout! Precious!

I love that Leigh Anne! Nice work today and over these past 5 weeks. No need to weigh yourself -- feeling smaller, stronger, better balance and reflexes = major success! Great work!! Thanks for working out with me and please stay tuned, more challenges to come!

Silly Peanut - what a little cutie!!! Great workout! I'm two days behind on this weeks workouts, I've had a hell of a week and thought I was going to loose my dog. Thankfully he's still with us and now we're back on and ready to focus on the challenge again - YEAH!!!! I'm going to double up on a couple of workouts this week to catch up.

HI Carrie! Don't give up! Please check out my "Barre workouts" playlist for other ballet-inspired options - we have some that are shorter that may be a better place to start :) The good news is you are back at it and we're here for you! Welcome!

I was so exhausted and until I saw Peanut streching, hahaha! Thank you Peanut it was very well timed and you reminded me how humour helps in any workout just like in anything else we do. brilliant work out, thank you Jessica.

emijta LOL! Glad Peanut could help you take the edge off ;-) Nice work today!

Way to go Alaina! Wow, I just love what you said above - I couldn't be happier that you feel that way at the end of our challenge - thanks for sharing that and for spending so much time (and sweat) with me these past 5 weeks. Great job & keep up the good work!! xoxo

Thanks so much for completing the challenge with me - great job! And yes, we will have more challenges in the very near future, so please stay tuned!

Wow ... i just did my first ballet burn and oh my... i cried a lil at 30 mins in lol no kiddin ... but your awesome positive voice kept telling me to keep moving... Thanks so much for this :) i'll try to do this religiously. :)

After broken my ribs two years ago, I thought I could never do sport anymore because of the pain, it was too heavy... But after 5 months, I discovered your workouts, and I did the 6 weeks walk strong perfectly ! Now I'm moving to your other workouts, still great ! Thank you for what you're doing, and for your smile ! :) Kisses from France !

Love your ballet barre routine....only thing that has gotten rid of my weak hips and a fast workout with sweating..YAY

Love that you chose that one for your wild card workout Marie-Annick! Way to go! Thanks for working so hard for me over these past 5 weeks - enjoy your summer and please stay tuned - more challenges to come!

Way to end it on a high/hard note there Lynne! Nice job today and over these past 5 weeks - love that you have allowed me to be a part of your incredible fitness journey, thank you! Keep up the great work & please stay tuned - more challenges to come!

Been waiting for something like this. I love barre and pilates work. Gives you such nice tone and defenition without bulking you up!!

Thank you so much, Jessica. I've been slacking on my workouts and feeling like they were rather redundant. However, I discovered your videos and they have renewed my motivation to continue on my weight loss and fitness journey!

Welcome & thanks for subscribing! Glad you are enjoying the workouts :-) Be sure to check out our website too to easily search our full KZread library: jessicasmithtv(dot)com

Thank you so much Jessica. I really love your workouts. I always enjoy doing them & the huge variety helps keep me motivated. I so appreciate you posting them here for everyone to use.

loved this one today. my standing leg in the barre work usually burned too much to get through to the end of the lifts, but I did what I could and came back when I could. thanks again.

Great work Christina! Thanks for joining me for this challenge and I love your post-challenge plan :) Stay tuned - new workouts will be posted weekly!

You are fabulous!!! Such well thought out and choreographed workouts. I love this one!

I love this workout! I get daunted easily with the longer workouts, but I liked the mixture of cardio, weights, and stretching throughout. BC day 5 done!

Love barre workouts...While my legs were burning and I thought I couldn’t take it anymore, looking at Peanut laying there without a care in the world made me laugh and helped me get through it. :) She could not be more laid back (except when YOU do the relaxation or stretching workouts).

Joyfulmomof6 Nice job! Peanut says she is happy she could help you through :)

Just finished! This work out kicked my butt!! I could not finish all the barre reps - guess there some muscle groups that are weaker than I realized! I've been working out 6 days a week for a 1 1/2 year and never expected to find a work out that was such a challenge! Thanks Jessica, for giving my muscles a much needed work-out!

Now this is what I call a workout 😀. I feel fantastic but definitely challenged today. I really enjoyed rediscovering this terrific routine. My muscles were shaking and I am going to be sore tomorrow.

You are WONDERFUL! So glad I found your website and these videos! Thank you Jessica!

Oh my goodness! I cannot believe how to breath and how my muscles in my butt are not as strong as I thought they were. Oh and balance too!!! This was definitely challenging I have a true new respect for ballet dancers!!!

oh gosh! I am so glad no one was home to watch me do this workout. I would totally be the comedy relief for today!!! Nothing graceful about me! Not that I care! I had a good laugh and a good workout! I kept looking at Peanut rest on the mat while you were stretching..Mine stayed right by me the entire time as well. Thank you Jessica!

Nice job today! Thanks so much for joining me for this challenge and for all of the hard work you put into it! So glad you feel stronger and healthier - that's the ultimate reward :)

Thank you so much for including this one in our weekly email workout suggestions. I think I may have avoided this one in the past because it was 50 minutes...but I'm always so happy when I do the longer workouts!! Was anyone else moving all over the place at the end when we were sitting and stretching one leg and arm out to the side? It made me laugh through my sweat :)

I definitely have to agree! Before I would have skipped doing this but after I have pushed myself to do a longer workout like this really helps me build my endurance and tolerance level for these kinds of exercises. Btw, I am so happy that Jessica has started doing weekly schedules for us again :)

Megan Kemper Same here! I avoided this one too, but have been wanting to do this one forever! Glad I finally got to do it!

Loved this workout it was exactly what I was looking for in a ballet inspired workout, please keep making more, you are a great instructor! :) Thank you

Love it Sherry! Great job today and over these past 5 weeks! Thanks for all of your hard work & dedication :)

I got to be a "ballet dancer" with this workout. It really toned the muscles in the thighs, butts, arms and abs.. awesome. As always thanks a lot Jessica, you are amazing! :)

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and have been doing on and off HIIT workouts. As I'm coming to the end of my pregnancy and carrying all this wait around, it was refreshing to find your channel. Loved the toning exercises and stretches! Perfect workout for this mama without all the jumping and jarring. Thank you:)

This was great, Jessica. I particularly appreciated you mentioning it being okay to not be as graceful as a dancer, but to make it work. I did. I was cursing you at some points... in a good, "Jessica, this is painful!" kind of way.

Sad today is the last day of our structured "Summer Shape Up" routines. Thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU Jessica for putting this together, and for supporting us every step of the way. Your personal attention to my comments has helped keep me motivated and made me feel like you have been right here with me the whole way. I will continue to look forward to working out with you in the future. You have been and always will be my number 1 fitness mentor.

Gosh I have been doing one of your other ballet fitness routines for years and just stumbled on this one. It's great! Intermediate and slightly challenging too which I was craving. I find your ballet fitness classes so much better than those taught by others doing ballet fitness, sad you went away from ballet fitness vids, I think you have a real talent for integrating different moves and keeping it energetic so one never gets bored. A sense of classical dance but also a great workout.

You are full of grace Rebecca! Thanks for hanging there with me today :) Nice wok!

Day 5 done. Love it!! I spent my childhood in a ballet studio, so this is right up my ally. Though it was TOUGH, it was good. Great way to start of my day! Thanks, Jessica!

Thanks so much for posting this! I was taking barre classes in a studio but could no longer afford them. Your videos are definitely as challenging as the classes but without the price tag

I felt quite awkward during the first 12-13 minutes of this workout. However, it was a nice change and you, Jessica, are always pleasant. Can't complain about Ms. Peanut, either.

Thanks for working out with us Mehak! Not to worry there will be more fun to come soon :)

Your workouts are so great! Love your precise, positive instructions. Like the 45+min. total body workouts! Helps me get a great workout in during a busy day! Thanks!

Day 5 done - love the ballet workouts - makes me feel so graceful-Thanks Jessica

Day 5 done! I love this one so much, that's why I'm so psyched about your upcoming barre dvd! I really didn't sleep well last night I was tired but that workout got me off the couch and on my feet because I enjoy it :) Thanks!

#Summerofstrength done for the day. I absolutely LOVE this workout. I've done it a few times over the past year and I am getting much better. I still have to set the weights down when we do the overhead ballet arms. I was super excited when I saw the 52-min. barre workout today because I love doing it, but usually don't want to on my own. When it's part of a "challenge," I'll step up, but otherwise, I tend to focus on the "easier" workouts. Thanks for a great start to the week, Jessica!

not to worry, it's not really over! Peanut and I will still be here for you anytime, and we'll be uploading new videos for you to try too (make sure you've subscribed to this channel to get updated first!) :) And please stay tuned, new challenges coming soon! Keep up the great work - Peanut sends a kiss ;)

I enjoyed the change of pace with barre today. Thanks for the workout!

Dear Jessica, you are the one I have always waited for, I LOVE your classes. I wouldn't miss one of them. I have always wanted to dance as a ballerine, your exercices are so easy and pleasant to follow. And thanks to you, as I am a french girl, I can improve my english. You have given me the energy to become a personal trainer as you. I hope this dream will become true very soon, I go back to school in few month in order to achieve this.

Great job Christina!!

Thanks Maria! Great work over these past 5 weeks, and I love that you want to do it again - you go girl! Thanks for being my workout partner, and please stay tuned - more challenges to come soon!

This is the first time I've completed this workout. I tried a while ago but gave up too soon. I have to say this was very challenging. I modified a lot of the poses so I could do it. I do feel wiped out, but I'm glad it did it. I just love your videos and want to be able to at least complete them all even if I have to modify them. I tend to stick to the easier ones, but now I want to be challenged. Thanks for such a wide variety of videos!

Bonjour Muriel! Thank you for working out with us today and over these past 5 weeks - you did a great job with the challenge! Thanks for joining us & keep up the great work! :-) Merci beaucoup!

No worries! Glad you did the workouts!! And I hear you about the jogging outside :) Happy you made it work for you and thanks for joining me for the challenge! Great job Tara!

Way to go Angela! So glad you feel good - keep it up!

Ballet Burn is such a great workout. Thanks, Jessica!

Did this workout yesterday. Had a couple "pat your head/rub you stomach" moments but thoroughly enjoyed this workout. Still feeling it a bit today. I'll, for sure, do this workout again. Thanks, Jessica!

Day 5 done! I think this is the workout video that didn't work for me before - so glad it worked this time - it's great!! Really gives me time to focus on form and get things right! thanks!

your dog was so funny, mine was sleeping the whole time as well until i got onto my stomach! thanks for the great workout!!

Thanks for joining me for the challenge Desiree - great work these past 5 weeks! Hope to see you for a workout again real soon :-)

Really enjoy the ballet inspired workouts! Thanks Jessica!

I did the belly,buns and thigh walk for today. A huge thanks to you for putting all this together for us! looking forward to our next workout together!

I love barre workouts and I love Jessica Smith! A match made in heaven...and for free no less!

Jessica, I love all your workouts. This one is my FAVORITE!!!! Thank you.

Great work today! Thanks for joining me for this challenge!

Yay! Can't wait! Great work Traci :)

LOL Lisa! Thankfully we're not trying out for professional ballet - it's all about having fun with the moves :) Thanks for joining us!

Awesome! Usually I don't feel all that feminine when I'm working out and I'm all sweaty/panting lol, but this helps me feel graceful/pretty while I get in shape. Thanks!

Thanks for this, I was doing this at work on a slow day. It helps me to teach the little one better gross motor skills and body awareness. Both of our balance is improving.
