Weight Loss Secret: Workout DVDs

Exercise is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle and a key ingredient in weight loss, but it’s also one of the hardest things to fit into your schedule. That is why I LOVE workout DVDs!  There’s no excuse when you can just pop the workout int he DVD player, clear some space in your living room and workout any time of day. No need to treck to the gym in the rain or wait for the cardio machines to open up, you have a 24/7 gym at your fingertips! 

Here’s the thing though, not all workout DVDs are created equal. Some workouts are short or just not worth the time. So I’ll save you some time and energy and let you know which workout are worth a try and, most importantly, which ones pass the Living Great with Cait Test

• Physique 57: These ballet inspired workouts are worth the money. You will stretch, you will shake, you will sculpt an awesome butt! Check out my more detailed reviews in earlier posts.
• P90X: Yes, I’m talking about the P90X  from the late night infomercials.  The workouts are HARD and probably the best weight lifting workouts out there, there’s also a nice option to use bands instead of dumbbells. Get ready to do tons of push ups and pullups!
• Cathe Friedrich: Cathe is the queen of exercise videos and she has a HUGE selection of workouts to choose from on her website Cathe.com. Get ready to sweat buckets,  lift serious weights and sculpt serious muscle! Only downside is for those that don’t like step since most of the cardio workouts are step aerobics.

FUN: These DVDs are a great time, much better than another 30 minutes on the elliptical!!! The workouts fly by and the variety keeps your mind occupied and your body guessing. That means no boredom and continuous results.

RESULTS: Oh boy do you get AMAZING results from DVDs, it’s like always having a personal trainer on hand!

REWARDING: It’s so nice to get a fantastic workout done in an hour or less since you don’t have to travel to the gym. Working out with DVDs will seriously help you keep your workout appointment and the bonus will be how great you look and feel!
