We all want ways to fit in exercises into our busy lives. It doesn’t matter if you prefer low-impact routines that are easy to repeat or full-body workouts with limited time the right DVD could make all the difference.
Denise Austin’s DVD is an exercise that lasts for 12 minutes and targets different areas of the body on a daily basis. Each segment is designed to be performed individually or in a sequence to give an entire body exercise. It’s a great option for beginners who want to get started on an exercise routine, or for people who are already active, but want to improve their strength and stamina.
The trainer who earned her fame on NBC’s The Biggest Loser makes a bold promise: “Eliminate fat.” She’s not lying; this three-DVD course, which consists of two 10-minute workouts that will make you sweat. But don’t fret if think this isn’t the right level for you; each session has easier alternatives for those who can’t do the more difficult moves.
Jane Fonda, 74, could be a bit offensive with her cheesy music or headbands that are reminiscent of Richard Simmons. But her exercises are extremely effective. She employs the same exercises as her bestselling workouts, including lower and upper body isometrics and exercises using hand weights. She also shows the correct posture.
One of the few negative aspects of this DVD is that a recent research by a University of Washington professor found that its use of models highlighted body flaws, and many women’s bodies covered up. The good news is that this workout DVD also comes with a 30 day healthy eating plan and self-reflection worksheets to give you the motivation you need to keep up your new fitness routine.
