Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 Review – Awesome Workout!

The Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 workout DVD is one of the most intense workout DVDs I have ever seen. Jillian Michaels for those who are unaware is one of the trainers for the show The Biggest Loser. One reason why I think she has so many workout DVDs on the market is because of how effective she is. I know that when purchasing her workout DVD that I will get an intense workout that will help get me into the best shape of my life.

Personal Training with Jackie: Crunch-Free Xtreme Abs Review

I’m a bit of a fitness nut, but I hate doing crunches.  Always have, always will.  So when I heard about the Personal Training with Jackie: Crunch-Free Xtreme Abs DVD I was pretty excited.  This DVD lets me work out my abs without leaving the house.  The DVD has two fifteen minute workouts designed to strengthen abdominal muscles.  One workout is a standing routine and the other features a floor routine.  Each one works your abs hard without making use of crunches.  In this video crunches are considered a waste of time.  What could be better?

Jillian Michaels: Shred-It With Weights Review

When it’s cold outside I love having the option to work out in my home.  Exercise DVDs like Jillian Michaels: Shred-It With Weights gives me just what I’m looking for – a challenging workout I can do without starting up my car.  This DVD includes two thirty minute workouts designed to be done with a free weight or kettle bell.  The extra weight adds some intensity to the already challenging workouts.  I’m in pretty good shape but I found myself working up a sweat after one of these routines.  These boot camp routines are designed to be done in a graduated fashion: once you’ve done workout one for a while and you’re feeling stronger you work your way up to workout two.   This gives you the opportunity to get stronger without becoming frustrated with exercises that are too difficult for you.

Dance with Julianne: Cardio Ballroom Review

I love working out at the gym, but sometimes it’s nice to do something a little different.  Dance with Julianne: Cardio Ballroom allows me to do just that.  This DVD is hosted by Dancing with the Stars’ Julianne Hough.  She leads you through a 55 minute dance workout that gets your heart pumping and blood moving.  She incorporates several styles of ballroom dancing, including Cha-Cha and Jive.   There’s a warm-up and cool down included, plus a bonus dance lesson to help everyone get acquainted with the different steps used throughout the workout.

Body By Bethenny with Bethenny Frankel Review

I love warming up at home with some yoga on chilly days. Body By Bethenny with Bethenny Frankel is a great DVD to help me do this. This DVD comes with three workouts: a 40 minute yoga program, a ten minute strength training segment, and a five minute booty blast that tightens and firms your behind.

This workout takes great pains to be something that fits into an everyday lifestyle.  The yoga segment works out all major muscle groups while increasing flexibility.  It’s a nice little all-in-one DVD that stays interesting without being too intense.

Kim Kardashian: Fit In Your Jeans by Friday – Amazing Abs Body Sculpt DVD Review

I was a bit hesitant about buying this Kim Kardashian’s Fit in Your Jeans by Friday DVD. In a way, I’m glad that I did since I am rather envious of Kim’s look and fashion sense. And this workout does work.

It’s easy, fast paced, and fun..not a whole lot of workout stuff is needed to do these workouts. I am really into “no equipment”. All you need is a stepper and some 5lb free weights.
