a good workout video?

e_doli · Dooney & Bourke

i have a couple old denise austin videos that i love -- but i haven't done any of her new stuff.

if you have access to a library, lots of librarys now have videos you can check out and they usually have a bunch of workout videos. then you could try one before you buy it.

I have Denise Austin's Yoga & it kicks my butt. From what i hear tho, Winsor Pilates & Cathe F(something) videos are the best... u should head to makeupalley.com, they always review/discuss workout videos in the health & fitness section. hth

crystal -- which denise austin yoga do you have? fat blasting yoga? i was wondering if that one is any good...

crystal · Kate Spade

hmm, e_doli, i'm not exactly sure but it's either fat blasting or maybe something to do w/ abs (or both?). anyways, i think it's great, my only complaint is that i'm no yoga head so i'm not sure i'm doing the poses correctly & i even hurt my shoulder doing one. i stopped for a while but am thinking of picking it up again tonight. it has ball excercises at the end, but i've never gotten that far

. the poses are pretty difficult but i think it's the kinda thing that just takes time to get down... i sweat a TON tho & feel like i get a good workout!

i actually really like the tae bo videos.. i used to use them every day and saw results. i used the basic and the advanced of the original series. i also recently bought the live! tapes off of amazon and it's a lot of fancy footwork, imo. i prefer the old school tapes best.

You should tape or Tivo INHALE with Steve Ross. (Its a one hour yoga show thats on in the morning, I think on Oxygen.)

I go to his class in LA twice a week and its AMAZING. I always have a couple episodes of this Tivo'd that I can pop on when I have free time at night.

I love Steve Ross. I have tapes and tapes of Inhale. Mara~ I'm so jealous you get to go to his class!! I've tried a lot of different yoga videos and I like his classes by far the best.

Also, I just started Core Secrets last night. I'm feeling it in all the right spots today.

Grace- his classes are a madhouse (you have to get there at least an hour early to get a spot and then you usually have feet iny our face the whole time, etc!) but they are sooo worth it. its ruined me for other yoga places!

The Firm tapes with the fanny lifter are my #1 choice. I went from 185lbs. to 115lbs. and they helped me tone up my muscles
