I bought the
Total Body Cardio Toning DVD and decided to do a review of it. Short summary: It’s a refreshingly non-cheesy workout that’s a mix of cardio, yoga and pilates. I was looking for something a little different than what I have been doing and this fit the bill.
The name Cardio may be a bit misleading in that there is no hard aerobics/dancing here!
The workout uses Yoga, Pilates – and your own body weight to get your heart pumping – that’s not to say you will not be jumping she does this at a controlled pace.
I have a few Denise Austin workout DVDs and the one I do most often may just be the
Denise Austin Boot Camp Total Body Blast workout. The exercises here are fast-paced (which is how I like it). There’s a good amount of toning and cardio.
This dvd is 20 min cardio, 20 min toning, 10 min stretch. The cardio is good, but they put the abs at the end of it. I wish it was in the toning section. The toning is mostly squats/lunges with some weights.
