So how many of you have wanted to pick up a work out video at Walmart or Target wondering what it held behind that plastic cover? I think my obsession began with "The Grind" and moved into "Tae Bo" before I became a "workout video crazed" girl of the 90's.
So here I sit, 30 and owning about 20 videos. From "8 Minute Abs" to the "Quick Fit Post Natal" workout, I have it all. I have gone on wild binges making sure I use them daily, weekly, and monthly...but some of them just don't stand up. Some make me so sore I feel as if I've had a personal training session at Bally's (I used to work out there with a hot son of a gun) and others I could walk through with my eyes closed (read: my 3 year old can do it no problem). So I have decided I would share my favs with you!
I am starting with a popular one, shared with me by my friend C. She's a doll and a half in itself and this mom who is 8 months post partum looks awesome and motivates me to continue to work out as she's truly slimmed down and makes me ooh and ahhhh every week or so when I see her. This work out that has whipped her into shape and made me super sore on occassion is "Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred". With an uber intense 20 minute work out, the first time I tried it, I fell over after the 11th minute. Now I have a favorite of the three work outs (Phase 2) and enjoy sweating (big time) as I work away those areas that all women can shape! Personally, I feel if you are not in "semi-good" shape this video could seriously hurt you. So take it slow at first. But truth be told the $15.00 I spent at Target was totally worth it, and heck its about 1/5th of a months membership at the gym :)
Stay tuned for tomorrows review....The Quick Fit Post Natal Workout...and yes, I still use it 14 months later :)
