We all want ways to fit in fitness into our busy schedules. If you’re looking for low-impact routines which can be easily repeated or full-body workouts in shorter time frames the right DVD could make all the difference.

Denise Austin’s DVD offers a 12-minute routine that focuses on various body parts each day. Each segment is designed to be performed in a series or on its own for a full-body exercise. It’s a great alternative for beginners looking to begin a new workout regimen or for those who are already active and wish to improve their stamina and strength.

The trainer who made her name famous on NBC’s The Biggest Loser www.fitdvds.com/looking-for-best-total-fitness-dvds makes a bold promise: “Eliminate fat.” The three-DVD program will make you sweat. It includes two 10-minute workouts. Don’t fret if this is not the right level for you. Each session includes easier alternatives for those who can’t do more challenging moves.

Jane Fonda’s outrageously cheesy songs and Richard Simmons-style headband might appear unappealing however, her workouts are efficient. She performs the same exercises that she uses in her most popular workouts–such as upper and lower body isometric exercises as well as exercises using hand weights. In addition, she demonstrates the correct posture throughout.

One of the most negative aspects of this DVD is that a study conducted by an University of Washington professor found that the model models were a way to highlight body flaws, with many women’s bodies covered up. The good news is that this workout DVD also comes with a healthy eating 30 day plan and self-reflection worksheets to give you the motivation you need to continue your new fitness routine.
