Fitness Video Roundup

Friday, April 17, 2009

So, I am thinking of getting a fun fitness video that involves dancing or something like that - the only video I own now is Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, which is definitely a good workout when I do it, but I'd like something that's more fun. Some things I am considering:

Flirty Girl Fitness DVD's (pole dancing type stuff)

Dancing with the Stars Cardio Dance

Core Rythms

Anyone tried any of these? Any suggestions?

Workouts: Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred

Wednesday, December 31, 2008

I have read a lot on WeddingBee boards and other places that Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred (she's the trainer from the Biggest Loser) is a great workout video. And lucky for me, Nola bought it for for Christmas; and it was just in time because the Harvard gyms aren't open again for a couple days.



So, I tried Level 1 yesterday, and for a 20-minute workout, I thought it was pretty tough. She has you do squats, bicep curls, lunges, abs, push-ups, some cardio, etc. and if you really go all out for the 20 minutes, it seems like it'd be pretty helpful in getting you toned. I still think it'd be nice to do it every day along with some other cardio; but also, Levels 2 and 3 might be a lot harder, I'll let you know when I try them! (Btw, you can get the video on Amazon for only $7.50 - http://www.amazon.com/Jillian-Michaels-30-Day-Shred/dp/B00127RAJY/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2AJBXRE4S66O7&colid=H6LNXWVP831G).
