Workout Videos

I have a whole arsenal:

(hey, it's really cold where I am. . . so some days even a walk is out of the question) And, some days, I just don't want to go to the gym.

Yoga DVDS: anything by Rodney Yee. I'm particularly enjoying one called "Yoga Burn"
I also have a few Kundalini Yoga (a little more "out there" with more meditation and chanting. . .but very challenging. . .I always feel those the next day)

and I have some "light cardio" ones as well. These aren't super-calorie blasting, more like they take the place of a walk.

Crunch: Cardio Dance Party
Crunch: Latin Dance
Yoga Booty Ballet--pretty much all of them. (they're very, very silly. but I can do them when I "don't feel like working out"

for sculpting/weights I like
Core Secrets and Winsor Pilates (both good for beginners. . .I like the core secrets because you can add more weight to what you'e doing and build on it.)

I'm considering buying some more hardcore cardio ones. Seriously considering Turbo Jam, which some people around here seem to LOVE.

I have the Slim in 6 series and let me tell you I DIE. I like it though and have seen results both inches and pounds. But it isn't the funnest and it burns

The Jillian Michaels workout series is good. I have just started using them and it kicks my butt!

Since we are on the subject, I have been trying to decide between buying Tae Bo and Turbo Jam. Does anyone have both of them, and if you do, which do you like better?

Thanks! That's kind of what I was thinking. My teenage daughter has also been wanting to get one of them. She has used the Tae Bo and likes it. But, if Turbo Jam is more fun. Then maybe we'll give it a try.

Now I'm all excited want to get it! :happy:

Hey, one more question about Turbo Jam. . .I live in a second floor apartment. . .and I like my downstairs neighbors

Is it high impact, or does it involve jumping. (a little is OK, I just don't want them to think the ceiling is about to come down on them )

lol...I used to live on a second floor and did my workout videos on the carpeted rooms....less boom for my poor neighbors! (I hoped)

I love turbo jam, just got it and just finished two tapes today and I feel AWESOME!

I have tae bo too, and i agree w/ Joanna, its very intense....I love to dance so if I had to choose I'd go w/ Turbo Jam....I feel the same after both but feel my abs more w/ the turbo jam because I feel I have more control than w/ Billy....

my hubby is a 4th degree blackbelt and knows Billy from the o' tournament days....he'd say go for Billy LOL.... tells me "believe me ...you'll get the best results from his videos"...but I like my jam! lol

best of luck!
and its sooo cold here too..brrrrrrrr New England is not a friend of the outdoors jogger/walker in the winter!:ohwell:
Ali

I don't know about everyone else but I log it in as high impact aerobics.

I am new to this program but I personally really like the Firm and I also just started doing the new tae-bo with the amplifier. for the first time I can actually see definition and dare i say muscle in my arms and everywhere else. they come with 5 dvds so you never get bored!!!

Cathe Friedrich is one of my favorite exercise gurus! She has a ton of DVDs. My favorite are the Body Blast series. She has step aerobics, kickboxing, weightliftting, etc. The weightlifting videos are great if you have free weights at home. I used to watch her on FitTV and I recorded the ones I liked best.

Fit TV is awesome!
My faves are Gilad & Sharon Mann.
Great workouts.
