We’re always looking for ways to incorporate fitness into our busy schedules. The right DVD can make a huge difference, whether you need low-impact routines that are simple to repeat or full body exercises with a short timeframe.
Denise Austin’s DVD is a 12-minute workout that targets different parts of the body on a daily basis. Each section can be completed independently or in a sequence to complete a full-body exercise. It’s an excellent option for beginners who want to get into a routine routine, or for those who are already active and looking to increase their stamina or strength.
The trainer who made her name known on the NBC show The Biggest Loser makes a bold claim: “Eliminate fat.” This three-DVD set will make you sweat. It has two workouts of 10 minutes. Don’t worry if this is not the right level for your needs. Each session offers easier alternatives for those who cannot do more challenging moves.
74-year-old Jane Fonda’s beyond-cheesy music and a Richard Simmons-like headband might seem off-putting but her workouts are efficient. She employs the same exercises as her most popular workouts, including upper and lower body isometrics and movements using handweights. She also shows the correct posture.
One of the nastier aspects of this DVD is that a new study by a University of Washington professor found that its model models were a way to highlight the flaws in their bodies, with a majority of women’s bodies being covered up. The good news is that the workout DVD also includes a 30 day healthy eating program and self-reflection worksheets to give you the motivation you need to continue your fitness routine.
