What's Your Favorite Workout Video?

on May 5, 2009 at 4:00 PM

There's old school hits like Richard Simmons' Sweatin to the Oldies and Jane Fonda's New Workout, racier picks like Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease, and intense routines a la Billy Blanks' Tae Bo...with all the options out there, how do you know which workout DVD/video is right for you? I asked Cafe Mommers for their recommendations.

LvngMamatoJacob: "I personally don't use a DVD, but I use the My Fitness Coach for the Wii. I love it! I usually can start to sweat pretty hard within the first 10 minutes. I usually do 75 minutes and it gives me a good workout." My Fitness Coach, $29.99, GameSpot

My sister got me a whole bunch of 1980's Jazzercise vhs tapes for Christmas last year... and aside from having to dig out my VCR (and leg warmers!), they have been so much fun! We laugh so hard trying doing the moves that we don't even notice we're working out.

anything by Leslie Sansone! i have 2 DVDs and would recommend them. the steps are easy, easy enough that once you get used to them you can follow along as you watch but listen to something else if you dont want to listen to her talking.

Yoga Booty Ballet is my main stay. I love it so so much. I've never had muscles like I do from doing YBB, not even when I went to the gym 5 days a week.

I like many of the shows on Fit TV. The power yoga, Gilad workouts and Shimmy.

I forgot Gilad, he is awesome!

My favorite of all times was the Jane Fonda step aerobics one, but I had it on VHS and can't get it on CD. If anyone knows where, please tell me =)

I know use the walk away the pounds.

I had a dream to begin my own commerce, nevertheless I did not earn enough of money to do that. Thank God my dude told to use the loans. Thus I used the short term loan and realized my old dream.
