Shape up!

In the common season where I realize, "oh man! it's time to shape up!" I always reach for two of my favorite DVDs to tone up and lose some inches. It's perfect for someone like me who doesn't want to pay for a gym membership and who has a little one around.

This first DVD is the 10 Minute Solution Pilates. It has a menu consisting of "Abs," "Buns and Thighs," "Flexibility," "Pilates Burn," and "Arms/Upper Body." Each segment is ten minutes and you can customize your workout so that it will play them in any order you desire! I usually start with flexibilty followed by two other segments.

 

The second DVD set I reach for is (ok dont laugh at me!) "Core Rhythms."



I got the set at Target a few years ago and it has been such a great and fun way to work out! There are 4 or 5 different dance styles including 45 minute routines to each. I absolutely love it and it makes working out challenging yet fun (especially if you get your very graceful husband to do it with you! ;) )

With both programs I can tell in just a few days that I'm melting away! Even Joseph who does P90X has joined me for both workouts and says it is a challenge!
