Yes, I’m back into the swing of things and ready to give something away. When I was heavily pregnant or busy with new baby, I received a couple of Denise Austin DVDs for free from Lionsgate and put them aside. This weekend I stumbled across them and thought, “Oh yeah! Need to give these away!” So I’m starting with one this week and will do another next week.
So this week it’s Denise’s Body Makeover Mix. You can see a full description and a clip here. I personally don’t enjoy Denise’s workouts, just because she sounds like a Kindergarten teacher. Nothing against Kindergarten teachers — I just would prefer a different voice from my fitness instructors. (more…)
Today I did Kelly Coffey-Meyer’s 30-Minutes to Fitness: Weights workout. Actually I only did Biceps/Triceps/Shoulders, which is Workout 2 on this DVD. It’s actually a bargain of 2 great workouts on one DVD, with some great premixes including different active rests between sets (abdominals, standing abdominals, and cardio) and a couple total body premixes. It’s really a great workout for the price (currently on sale for only $16.95 at Advanced Workouts).
I actually briefly reviewed this workout a little over a year ago, so I’ll try not to repeat myself too much, but I just want to emphasize again that it’s a great workout. With the workout I did today, she does one exercise for each body part (biceps/triceps/shoulders), then repeats it twice. Then she’ll do an active rest for a couple minutes. Like I said, I chose standing core work today–nice to occasionally do ab work that doesn’t involve traditional crunches. (more…)
