Three Workout DVDs that will definitely help you lose weight and tone!!

I am a beginner to exercise! A total novice here, I decided that home DVD’s are a great way to start. I received three workout DVDs for review, which included Dancing with the Stars: Cardio Dance for Weight Loss,The Biggest Loser Power Ab Blast, and The Biggest Loser, 30 Day Power Train.

Dancing with the Stars: Cardio Dance for Weight Loss:

This has to be my favorite video. It is very fun, but also gives you a nice workout. I’ll be honest. I am known for my LACK of dancing skills, so I probably looked like the biggest goof around. However, I truly enjoyed myself.

The video is broken down into 4 segments:

1.       Warm-Up: Learn the signature moves that make up the DVD (7 minutes)

2.       Samba: Boost your heart rate and blast calories with this rhythmical Brazilian dance routine that works your abs, thighs and butt (15 minutes)

3.       Salsa: Cuban dance that focuses on a 1-2-3 rhythm to give a full-body workout and a tight tummy (15 minutes)

4.       Swing: Upbeat American dance that combines the Jitterbug, Lindy Hop and Jive all in one for the ultimate leg workout (15 minutes)

I will admit it took me quite a few days to work up to Salsa and Swing. The Warm-Up and Samba were enough of a workout for me to begin with! I cannot think of a better way to exercise and lose weight- it is FUN and gives you a nice workout in your air conditioned home.

The Biggest Loser: Power Ab Blast:

“Trainers Bob Harper and Dolvett Quince of NBC's The Biggest Loser offer an intense abdominal workout featuring standing ab exercises in addition to core movements meant to be performed from a medicine ball, as well as elements of yoga, planks, and sit ups. ~ Tracie Cooper “

As you know I just had a baby via c-section in January. My abs definitely could use a little toning. This video definitely does that. It has four sections:

1.       Standing Abs (10 Min)

2.       Cardio Abs (15 Min)

3.       All- Out Abs (10 Min)

4.       Yoga Abs (10 Min)

What an Ab workout this is!! I did manage to complete the entire video the first time with a ton of grunting and groaning, but it was totally hard, and I will admit I was sore for DAYS!! Whew. Although I have not used it long enough to see results, I can definitely tell where I will get results with use, because those muscles are really worked. 

The Biggest Loser: Power X-Train:

This video definitely works. Whew. It was a bit too much for me to be honest. I am definitely going to have to work up to this one. It is more of a “work at your own pace” video, and maybe I am trying to do too much initially. Either way, it definitely will give a GREAT workout! 


This video includes:

1.       Warm Up (5 Min)

2.       Metabolic Circuit (15 Min)

3.       Power Training (15 Min)

4.       All About Reps (15 Min)

5.       Cool Down (5 Min)

Even though I only made it to Power Training, I will tell you it gave me a wonderful workout and definitely left me winded. Using all three of these videos along with proper diet, I KNOW I will get to my goal- perhaps even sooner than I had anticipated! I definitely recommend you checking them out! All videos are available through walmart so check them out!
