Fitness DVDs: What's hot

Posted on Feb 4th 2008 1:00PM by Bethany Sanders

Without a gym membership or an in-home treadmill, I depend on my DVD player all winter to help me keep in shape. If you're looking for a low-cost, low-tech way to workout, fitness DVDs are the way to go to maintain or spice up your workout routine. A yoga or Pilates DVD can add flexibility training to your cardio workout. A strength training DVD can help you build muscle. DVDs can be a rainy day option (or like me, a seasonal option), or you can use them to learn something new.

Choosing a DVD can be tricky sometimes, and I've been burned more than once. Reading reviews before you buy is definitely recommended. The people from Fitness magazine and Collage Video recently chose their current favorites, so if you're in the market for a new fitness DVD, you might want to take a look!

I like P90X as well. There's a wide variety of workouts (strength training, abs, yoga, kickboxing, plyometrics) and you change up workouts every few weeks so it keeps things interesting.

For anyone out there who thinks doing cardio at home means just hopping on a treadmill, bike, or elliptical machine, try any of these videos out! It's much more fun working out with others even if they are on TV and your body gets a better workout since you aren't just doing the same movement the entire time.

Being an avid outdoor walker I was a bit skeptical about Leslie Sansone and her in-home walking DVD's, but I was pleasantly surprised to find I got a very good work out from those. All the other dancy type aerobic DVD's take me so long to figure out the moves, I don't get a very good workout, but with Leslie's, all her moves are so simple you can really work up a sweat!
