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 "...

I can remember when Billy Blanks first came on the workout scene years ago with his Tae-Bo workouts.  They were a hit then and they are still a hit now.  Recently I picked up one of his workout DVDs to actually see what all of the hype was and to see if I would enjoy the workout.  I ended up getting Tae-Bo Cardio and it was a pretty good workout, not as intense as I would like, b...

Centrum Cardio Multivitamin/ Multimineral Supplement I am very pleased with this multvitamin supplement.  In addition to the vitamins and mineral ,this product has phytosterols a natural ingredient, that is supposed to be included to help lower or maintain healthy cholesterol.   I did not really believe that this product would be of any benefit to my health ,until I took a choles...

For years i have been trying to find an exercise program that would actually help me lose wieght--fast. However, with all the programs out there its difficult to figure out which ones really work. For most people exercising isnt their "cup of tea" and because working out is tedious and boring, numerous people lay it off and stop. Chalene, the exercise instructor, couldnt be more right...

Two years ago I found out my cholesterol was high and I needed to start some exercising to get it down.  I live 30 minutes from the gym and knew I wouldn't stick with that, so we went treadmill shopping.  Not only are treadmills expensive, but they are huge.So, when we found the Cardio Stride PLus, I thought it was perfect.  It's small enough to fit in the corner of the r...

My husband and I decided to try to get in better physical condition. We found the Billy Blanks line of Tae-Bo dvds. I had taken some kickboxing classes in the past and found it to be a great workout that yielded good results. When I saw these dvds, I felt like it was something my husband and I could do together. (I just couldn't picture him doing a "dance your way fit" dvd). Billy...

I bought this workout dvd on recommendation from a co-worker and I am very glad I did. The Biggest Loser Cardio Workout DVD is great especially for myself as a beginner! You get to choose your own workout plan as the dvd features three levels of cardio workouts.Warm UpLevel 1- Bob is the instructer and you get a 20 minutes bootcamp that works all of your body!Level 2- Jillian is the trainer wit...

High cholesterol runs on my dad's side of the family and during my last physical, my doctor suggested I take a multi vitamin every day because although my cholesterol dropped 35 points in two years, my level is still considered high. Centrum Cardio was recommended to me because studies have shown that by taking two Centrum Cardio a day (800 mg), within one month, cholesterol ...

When I saw this work-out video I thought, 'cool now I can work-out and find a way to get comfortable dancing for my husband.' So I bought the video collection hoping to lose weight and learn how to strip dance. When I first played the video I realized that it didn't have a very good cardio aspect. While I did think that it taught a first time beginner how to dance sexy, it didn'...

After discovering that I had a birth defect that could only be corrected with bypass surgery, needless to say, my life and everything about who I was and who I thought I was was gone. The road to recovery is harder than anything that I've ever experienced in my life and I've some pretty terrible things to overcome before this. My surgeon and other doctors highly recommended that I go th...

I have been kickboxing for the past five years.  I always had the standard black kickboxing gloves, but wanted a little something more lady like.  Since I am participating in cardio kickboxing I need something lightweight and comfortable.  i need to be able to take them on and off with ease.  I found a pair of Woldorf USA pink boxing gloves and knew I needed to buy them.They...

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 have tried several of the Firm's exercise DVDs but have nothing that works better than the Body Sculpting System Series 2.  These workouts will literally kick your butt and whip you into shape.The series consists of three different work outs.  You will need their patented Fanny Lifter and exercise bar as well as small dumbbells to complete these exercises.  Each DVD offers ...

I am the queen of all cardio dance DVD videos- if it's out there I have likely owned it. That being said, I have plenty of DVD's that I owned that got resold on eBay or Half.com because they were God-Awful.This isn't one of them! I love the show, and I am always thinking to myself, "It can't be that hard." Of course this is while I am eating a pint of ice cream an...

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...

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...

I recently had bypass surgery at 43. I had a heart attack in February due to a birth defect in my left main artery. Instead of being the size of a garden hose, it was the size of straw, so to speak. The doctors tell me it is just the way God made me. Fortunately for me, God also got me to the ER in time for the wonderful doctors at Memorial Hospital to save my life. When I came home, due to the...

I am a BIG fan of ellipticals!  When I go to the gym, they're one of the first machines I head for, and I really enjoy my time on them, which makes working out much less of a chore and more of a pleasure.  In fact, the only part that feels like a chore is having to drive to the gym.I decided to take a look at different options for an at-home elliptical.  The first thing I did...

So I was browsing the DVD's when I came across this vid: Fat-Burning Kickboxing Workout for Dummies.  "Kickboxing, eh?  I thought to my (very Canadian) self.  "I've always thought it would be fun to learn Kickboxing...  I could use something new to mix up my walking and pilates routine...."  Into the cart it went.The Good: This movie is a great in...

All my efforts before to lose weight has gone futile. My weight loss program went astray after my vacation from the US. Oh, I am not blaming US for that. There are just plenty of sumptuous food to taste in the great US of A. I just can't say no to all those!So, when I cam back from my recent trip to US, I instantly prepared a line up of activities I would do to get myself back on track and ...
