So, I'm pretty much a exercise video junky. Collagevideo.com is one of my favorite websites. It's a site that has tons of video previews from all different kinds of workout types from yoga to cardio to strength to pilates and more. You can purchase DVDS from the site too but I typically check around for better prices first.
But, more likely than not, it's the infomercial that grabs my attention. First it was Winsor Pilates, then Turbo Jam, then P90x, and most recently the Fluidity Bar. I have to say, I've never been disappointed.
Overall though, Turbo Jam is my go-to workout. It's so fun!! The 20 minute video flies by but you still get a great workout and are plenty sweaty by the end. It really is all about how hard you push yourself. The music is very upbeat and motivating and Charlene has great energy.
The other three videos are also good. I just don't do them as much.
Cardio Party 1: This is a killer workout! It's 45 minutes long and you move the whole time. When you get to the side lateral squats with jumps it's kind of painful (but in a good way).
Turbo Sculpt: This is a pretty good strength video. It's different because you're moving while you lift weights but as long as you don't use too heavy of weights, it's still comfortable and you finish feeling you got a good overall workout. Maybe I'll revisit this one tonight . . . .
Ab Jam: This video is in two parts: 10 minutes standing work and 10 minutes floor. She has some unique moves and it's a good ab routine. It's mostly different types of crunches and sit ups once you hit the floor but your abs are already tired from the first 10 minutes.
What a love most about Turbo Jam is how I feel afterwards. I feel like I got a great workout, my abs feel tighter, I'm tired but in a good way, with a bright red face that says my heart was getting a good hammering, and yet I'm also energized. I never feel like I wasted time when I do Turbo Jam, and I can't say that for every exercise dvd.
