The
Leslie Sansone 5 Day Slim Down workout is made up of five walking cycles all of which are around 30 minutes each. The first workout is the easiest; it’s a basic march, kick, step touch and knee lift routine. The next three, incorporate body toning (arms, abs and lower body) which make it a little more challenging and then finally comes the hardest of them which is the speed walking routine and it honestly is intense and more challenging than you’d think.
I bought
Jackie Warner’s workout DVD on a whim. Having seen a few episodes of the Workout series and seeing that it was only $8 I found it to be a good deal. So when I popped it in yesterday I was amazed at how quick yet effective each workout is.
One of my favorite things about it is that she has broken down the three routines into Upper Body, Lower Body, and Abs. So you can alternate days thus giving your muscles time to rest and repair. This is a HUGE draw to me.
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.
This
Turbo Jam Beachbody DVD set has 5 workouts. 1) Learn and Burn 25 min), 2) 20-minute workout, 3) Turbo Sculpt(40 min), 4) Cardio Party (45 min), and 5) Ab Jam (20 min). The DVD set of two has a learn and burn segment which covers learning the 11 moves which are designed for low-impact, high cardio and high ab reduction.
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 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.
