I’ve had a few different pilates DVDs and the 10 Minute Solution: Rapid Results Pilates DVD is pretty damn good. It really helps that Lara Hudson, the instructor tells you when to breath in and out and you can hear her breathing. You can synchronize the 5 different workouts in the order you want. Some of these exercises are different from the ones on other pilates DVDs.

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.

Dance Off the Inches: Hip Hop Party DVD Review

The first time I tried the Dance Off the Inches: Hip Hop Party workout, I didn’t like it. I thought the moves were much too complicated and I would never get them down right. That doesn’t mean it’s not doable, but it WILL take you a few workouts to get the choreography, arm movements and flicks.

In the meantime, you should listen to Jennifer (the instructor) and do what you feel rather than worrying about how you look.

P90X Extreme Home Fitness with Tony Horton Review

P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program - 13 DVDs, Nutrition Guide, Exercise Planner
Overall Rating:
 
Retail Price: $150.00
Amazon Price: $139.80
P90x is not bodybuilding. Its overall fitness. You won’t get huge, you’ll get strong and have good muscle endurance which helps out in the real world.

Pure bodybuilding involves many fewer exercises, fewer reps, much heavier weight, and would be quite difficult to pull off with the P90x limited equipment requirements. Plus you need a special diet to really get the gains.

I purchased the Power Yoga:Total Body Workout DVD three years ago and, although I own many yoga DVDs, I have used this workout for quite a few times. “Power Yoga” is, as advertised, an excellent, total body workout — albeit not one for beginners — with just the right amount of instruction and no irritating “pep talks” or celebrity prattling: in other words, real yoga.

The first chapter of Element’s Pilates Weight Loss for Beginners includes some standing work that allows the body to open in lateral flexion, rotation and extension. Additionally, you warm the body with some strength from Pilates-style planks/push-ups. The matwork is a beginner/intermediate level and provides wonderful abdominal exercise. With proper attention to form, your body should respond with this one quickly, not to mention it is such an enjoyable form of movement.

Amazon Price: $26.74
I have many yoga dvds but I needed to do more cardio. For me a good exercise DVD has to have a good instructor, manageable segments, and something fun. Regular aerobic dvds bored me to tears. Then I saw an infomercial for Hip Hop Abs and thought it’d be a good all around workout to get you moving, break a sweat, and have fun at the same time.
