This workout is excellent! Crafted by a real SWAT member, it features a lot of the usual military type workouts like push-ups, mountain climbers, squat thursts, jumping jacks and lateral leaps. It’s challenging and it really makes you breathe hard and sweat.

The instructor, Tom has created a great program that is highly customizable and it will work wonders for stripping the fat for your body.

Leslie Sansone’s Walk Slim – 4 Fast Miles DVD Review

by Natalie Belford on July 11, 2009

I was a little hesitant to buy the Leslie Sansone Walk Slim 4 Fast Miles DVD because I read some negative reviews about it, but I took a chance and I am somewhat glad that I did. I also own several of Leslie’s tapes and I’m a bit of a collector so I just purchased this DVD to round up what I already have. This is a fantastic workout for seniors and I ended up passing it to my parents.

Total Body Cardio Toning DVD Review

Total Body Cardio Toning
Overall Rating:
 
Retail Price: $14.98
Amazon Price: $4.39
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!

Samba Reggae Workout DVD Review

The Samba Reggae Workout
Overall Rating:
 
Retail Price: $14.98
Amazon Price: $13.99
The Samba Reggae Workout is actually an intense body workout (despite it being a ‘dance’ exercise video). If you don’t believe it, you gotta try it! This DVD is well worth above its price. It begins with a good thorough warm up session targeting important muscle groups necessary for this intense dance.

Initially Quenia (the instructor) breaks down the basic steps for samba reggae and their variations..

Denise Austin Boot Camp – Total Body Blast DVD Review

Denise Austin: Boot Camp - Total Body Blast
Overall Rating:
 
Retail Price: $14.98
Amazon Price: $8.99
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.

This Fat Free Yoga DVD workout is like a breath of fresh air. I would describe it as a kind of yoga calisthenics. I love everything about it, the production is top notch, the music is interesting, and the instructor is beautiful, genuine and likeable.

The Biggest Loser Cardio Max Workout DVD Review

The Biggest Loser Workout: Cardio Max
Overall Rating:
 
Retail Price: $14.98
Amazon Price: $7.49
This video surprised me. I started using the Biggest Loser: Cardio Max DVD 3 weeks ago – and boy does it get your lower body burning! It uses former contestants from the biggest loser (instead of professionals), so don’t expect a perfectly synchronized group of people.

The first time I watched it, my timing was all off (as was everyone’s on the video). Now I am used to it, and it no longer bothers me.

Pilates for Weight Loss DVD Review

Pilates for Weight Loss
Overall Rating:
 
Retail Price: $19.95
Amazon Price: $17.49
I already own other pilates DVD and though I enjoy them, I quickly get bored with the same two routines, so I wanted to add some spice to my workout. I saw the Pilates for Weight Loss DVD at the shop and figured it would be worth a try since it promised 15 different workouts.

There are advanced, intermediate and beginner sections and I personally enjoy using all three. This DVD has a really good pace and there are several workouts to choose from so I can always fit it in.
