I loved the iFit workouts idea the moment I was introduced to the it: pre-programmed, recorded sessions work together with your fitness equipment, like treadmill or elliptical, automatically adjusting your speed and resistance as the trainer talks to you, coaching you and explaining what’s going on. It is like having a personal trainer! I also love the nice energetic music, it helps...

I bought this along with two other DVDs to start getting in shape for my wedding.  Previously, I had pretty much never worked out.The front of this DVD makes it look a little hardcore, so I was nervous to try it at first, but after doing it for a while, I can say it is my favorite of the three wedding workout DVDs I bought.There are several options.  You can follow a plan based on wha...

P90X is a three month long home DVD workout program. The program is broken up into three phases with a recovery week in between each phase. In my opinion, each phase is harder than the last, so be prepared. The recovery week has less intense workouts to let your body rest a bit before the next phase. It comes with 12 workout DVDs, six of them cardio workouts and the other six weight training wo...

I know what your thinking. I like the videos. It's more of a dance routine than a real aerobic workout. I still like it though. It's a great video if you know going in that its not a high impact aerobic workout.  She has like 5 videos I think in the collection. Its great. My husband when he seen the video was like YESS!!!! I thought that was pretty funny. The first video is a begin...

The Biggest Loser Workout 2 is a really good workout video for all skill levels.  My husband and I used this video to workout together and we are at very different workout levels.  Both of us felt challenged during this video workout.One of the things that I like about this video series is that the people working our are normal people.  Most are still overweight and you feel like...

I had done some pilates classes with a real instructor at a local gym and after my membership expired, I decided to try the late-night informecial special of Winsor Pilates. It comes in a DVD with step-by-step guide and a 20 minute workout that you do 3 times a week for "total body sculpting" and it looked easy enough. The first thing that I was not aware about was the small print in ...

This is an old video from 1989, and it's different from more recent videos because of the amount of repitition.  In most aerobics videos nowadays, you will repeat a move 4 or 8 times and then move on to a different move.  But in this one, you do the same move over and over.  I tried counting a few, and lost count, but one, I think, went over 30 repititions.This has both good ...

Lilias Folan was one of the first people to popularize yoga for American audiences, with her PBS show that started running in the early 1970s.  She is still one of my favorite yoga teachers.  She has a relaxed approach, and makes yoga seem like fun -- unlike many yoga teachers today who seem to take themselves too seriously. This video is a 2-tape VHS set that contains four episodes o...

I just got this out of the library and did it once.  That was enough.  It was pretty bad.[Editing to add -- Please see my postcript at the bottom of the review.  I changed my opinion of this video after I woke up the next morning feeling really good.]The instructor ("Doctor Lynn") talks in a monotone that irritated me a lot. She's described on the box as being a Nat...

This is my absolute favorite workout video of all time. I bought it after seeing a review of it in Seventeen magazine a couple of years ago.What I love about it is the variety in the workout. It is split into 6 sections, alternating cardio with weight training and getting progressively harder with each section. Instead of typical cardio routines, these routines combine moves based on sports, su...

Karen Voight has designed a 3 in 1 fitness system targeting all areas of the body in order for you to receive the ultimate workout. THE COMPLETE SLEEK WORKOUT contains 5 outstanding workouts and all you need is a 5-8 lb dumbbell and a foam roller. I personally have used this video and felt the results the first day, saw results within the week absolutely the best! You can follow the 50 min. com...

So you want to buy a workout dvd to help you lose weight. If you need help deciding on one, why don't you give American Gladiators Ultimatate Workout DVD a chance. Why? In my own opinion from working out to the dvd, I have seen results on my body. By working out to the video at least three times a week, I feel more firm around my abs, glutes, chest, triceps, and biceps. If you don't own...

I love the show Girls Next Door, which features the girlfriends of Hugh Hefner.  They have recently made their own workout DVD.  In the DVD the three girls have their own version of the workouts that they like to do.  What I really like about this video is that the workouts are simple, quick but at the same time, I know that I am doing something for myself.  Holly does the...

I'm not a big workout person.  I was only inspired to start trying to get in shape when I got engaged and realized I would really like to look a little better for my wedding.I ordered the Buff Brides workout DVD along with three others, and I've been trying to do one a day, alternating the three.  Buff brides was the first one I did.  It's a 45 minute workout consisti...

This was one of three wedding workout DVDs I bought to get in shape for my wedding.  Let me tell you, they are not playing around when they call it Bootcamp.  It is by far the most difficult of the three DVDs I bought.The first time I did this workout, I could only make it about halfway through.  I'm young and in a healthy weight range, but as a beginner, and it was...

I LOVE P90X!  I've been doing the workouts and am seeing great results.  The instructor is wonderful.  He is charming, and keeps your attention.  These workouts are the first video instruced workouts where I have not gotten bored or distracted.  He is very clear, and shows you three different levels at which you can do the workouts at.  Each separate workout is...

Like many women, I recently took an interest in learning how to bellydance.   Not only are the moves alluring and sexy, but have you SEEN the abs and hips on these dancers?  Awesome!  After research, I found that there were no bellydance classes near me, so I figured I would do the next best thing: get an instructional DVD. I purchased this DVD, entitled The Goddess Wor...

I had done 2 pilates classes a week for a semester while in college and really missed the work out so I sought out a DVD to practice too.  A  year after my last class I was so out of shape that I felt like I definitely needed to start from the beginning.  I really liked this workout video and I am pretty picky about videos (it seems like I am always looking for a reason not to wo...

I was a waitress and bartender for many years so I'd been doing aerobics at work for up to 5 hours a day for most of my life.  When I worked in sedentary positions, I would workout with weights , hike, and do aerobics for a total of at least 2 hours daily.  Now I have a number of disabilities ranging from torn cartilege in my knees to having had major surgery on my cervical (neck)...

I bought this product because it looked different. It is all about learning Latin Dance while exercising. It shows you how to do each move and shows you different views of how to do it. At first you are clumsy at performing the moves, but once you get into the groove of it, it comes more naturally. These videos kick your butt, and you most deffinitely feel it the next day. You will find muscles...
