My friend recently endured 33-below temperatures in North Dakota — weather so cold that church services were canceled. while most church ladies chilled at home, Janna and her 10-year-old daughter Marissa defrosted by popping in a BYou “Hip Hop Meets Bollywood” exercise DVD.
DVDs are a cheap and easy way to get your groove on and honor New Year’s resolutions of weight loss and healthy living. And “it’s really fun,” insists Marissa.
Collage Video (collagevideo.com) and WorkoutMusicVideo.com offer an expansive variety of DVDs to launch yourself in the right direction. most DVDs cost $11 to $17, come in dozens of categories and offer few excuses not to pick one that’s fun. here are my 10 favorites.
“10 Minute Solution: Hip Hop Dance Mix with Kristin Jacobs.” This one is great for both individuals and families. If you dream of dancing like Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake, this video will get you on your way with quick 10-minute lessons, easy moves, great repetition and funky combinations that will have you raising your heart rate and an impressed eyebrow at your newfound talent. I had a ball. Jacobs made me groove, giggle and sweat.
“Amy Dixon Presents Give me 10: 10 Minute Workouts for a Total Body Tone up.” As a fitness instructor, I loved Dixon’s efficient use of light dumbbells, mats and steps. She gave me a full-body workout packed with variety. her six 10-minute sessions feature cardio, upper-body sculpt, lower-body firming, core, yoga stretch and a quick tutorial on kettlebells. it proved challenging, had great music and let me pick and choose the workouts I craved.
“Jeanette Jenkins: Sexy Arms, Abs & Legs.” This DVD is a hoot. it made me laugh, prance and remember why I loved ballet practice. Jenkins and her team use traditional ballet moves and great music to test balance and beef up the butt, hamstrings and arms. She makes you feel sassy, strong and invigorated.
