I bought this tape when I was planning on quitting smoking.  I like Jane Fonda's tapes, and I thought that I would need a lot of help with stress reduction after I quit.I ended up, though, not using the video quite the way I thought I would.  It contains three distinct parts -- a low-impact aerobics section, a stretching section, and a guided relaxation session.  I ended up d...

I've been doing water aerobics for several years, and I've used a variety of shoes. I started out with regular water shoes that you'd wear to the beach. While these protected my feet from the rough floor of the pool, they did nothing for my workout. If you are going to be serious about water aerobics, you are going to need some good shoes. Speedo water aerobics shoes look and feel l...

I had tried a stepper at the gym and immediately was hooked. Never really thought they would provide a good workout, but boy was I wrong! The next day I could hardly even walk or get up from sitting!! I found this one on Ebay for only $40 when they're new in stores for at least $60. The step surface is 11x 25" and comes with 4 adjustable steps that reach a maximum height of 8". Th...

If you can walk, you can do this video! Leslie Sansone is the undisputed queen of in-home walking videos. She has walks/workouts ranging from one mile to five miles. This particular DVD has a 3-mile and 4-mile walk. The DVD also comes with a "stretchy band" which serves the function of a resistance band in the toning section of mile 3 in the 3-mile DVD. Her workouts start off with a s...

Beachbody's Turbo Jam program adds Punch, Kick, and Jam (PKJ) to it's lineup.  I rec'd this workout as part of a set, which is why the price is so high.  It is a 50 minute routine.It is a very good cardio workout with interval training - you slowly ramp up your heart rate in one section, than bring it back down in the next to maximize calories burned.This workout uses opti...

I'm very picky about how my shoes fit, feel and look. I like a shoe that offers good support and comfort when it's brand new, as well as several months down the line. These shoes fit my feet perfectly and are comfortable. I like the way they look, too. The insole offers good support, even while I'm exercising and doing aerobics on a cement floor. I'm not an avid runner, but I we...

This is an easy aerobics video that is aimed at people who don't want anything too complicated.  There are only four basic moves -- marching in place, knee lifts, kicks, and kick backs -- with a few simple variations.The video runs for half an hour, including a short stretching session at the end (there's no stretch at the beginning).  About two-thirds of the way through, the ...

The best thing about this video is that it tells you what to do every day.  The DVD contains a lot of different little segments -- two 13-minute aerobics sessions, one 10-minute full-body strength training session, several 5-minute toning sessions focusing on specific body parts, and a warm up and cool down.What you do is select your goal -- losing weight, or being healthy or toning, etc -...

If you look at my DVD reviews on here, you can clearly see I love buying aerobic dance videos. I feel like they're fun because I really, truly enjoy dancing. So, when I saw this Cardio Go Go Dance DVD at  Wal-Mart, I thought I would love it. After all Go Go dancing is all about knee-high white boots and fun dance moves.Wrong!So, I popped in the DVD, and I was instantly making my "...

Richard Simmons is always parodied, but say what you want about the man, he makes fun, effective workouts. My favorite thing about his workouts is that they feature REAL music. It's classic, recognizable, fun music. My next favorite thing would have to be the dancing. It isn't complicated, but it is a total body workout. You may be shaking your butt and waving your arms in the air while...

I love to swim but really can't stand "aerobics". Step classes make me twitch. I'm mildly uncoordinated - the instructor says Left and I go Right, that sort of thing. In June 2006, I realized I needed to start a concerted effort to exercise to maintain my health. I floundered around for a while trying to find the "right" exercise for me. I finally found Bodies In Mot...

This is an outstanding product. I don't always have the time or the motivation to get to the gym, but the Sprintmaster makes working out simple and convenient. The initial construction was simple with the instructions provided and it folds up after each work out and easily fits under the bed for out of the way storage. Running outside or on the treadmill can be very harsh on your knees and ...

When I developed a running injury a few years ago I needed a way to retain my fitness, yet rest my knee.  Someone suggested I try aquajogging, so I did.The Aqua Jogging Belt was available to me at our gym's pool.  It is a large foam belt you simply strap around your waist, then jump in the water.  It keeps you afloat, so you can "run" in the water and while keeping ...

I purchased Lesline Sansones video because I lived in an apartment complex that was located in an area without sidewalks, busy streets and intersections.  I knew I needed to workout but all the videos seems so tough or too lame to even watch the entire thing.  I had heard about Leslie's video on various fitness sites so I thought I would buy it and add it to my collection.  H...

For the last three years, I have used the Aero Kaebo work out video as my additional exercise regimen. It is easy and slow, but it is real fat burner. It is actually a Filipino production and lasts only 40 minutes for the full workout. But it also includes mat training exercise and a 10 minute short workout.Although it is slow and easy I would perspire already about 8 minutes into the work out....
