The Ultimate Workout DVD Review & Giveaway Ends 3/28/12 at 7 PM EST

I recently received Michelle Dozois' DVD The Ultimate Workout to review and also another one to giveaway.  I am fairly new to working out.  I started just before new years and I have been doing at least 30 minutes a day for five days a week since I began.  This workout is perfect for me.  There are three complete workouts on the DVD.  Two of the workouts are 30 minutes long and the third one is 15 minutes.  The shorter workout is perfect to combine with one of the 30 minute workouts when I have extra time. 

I have really enjoyed this DVD and will continue to use it along with my other favorites.  I really like to switch my workouts up and this DVD will be on my weekly schedule.  The workout is challenging and I really enjoy it.

Workout 2: Ultimate Super Sculpting is 30 minutes of total body shaping exercises to help you increase muscular strength and definition. Many of the exercises will work your upper and lower body together to help you get the most out of your 30 minutes. You will also improve your balance and core strength while boosting your metabolism.

Workout 3: Ultimate Flexibility will help you improve your overall flexibility in less than 15 minutes. These simple and relaxing stretches feel great and will help you loosen up, unwind and relax all while reducing your risk of injury.

Tracie Long Fitness DVD Review & Giveaway Ends 2/3/12 at 7 PM EST

I have been given two DVDs to review from Tracie Long Fitness.  They are the reBoot1 real evolution and Figure30 hips.  I have done each of the DVDs one time each and really got a great workout with both of them.

reBoot 1

Take your fitness to new heights with Tracie Long’s evolutionary approach to high intensity training. A catalyst for change, this 50 minute sweat fest will re-boot your metabolism and re-shape your body.

Long pairs explosive bodyweight movements with functional strength training to maximize caloric burn and break through plateaus.

Designed as a 50 minute total body workout, participants have the option of using one or more of the high intensity segments for a quick fix. Put a little zing back in your routine with this results driven workout.

It’s never too late to get back in your groove.

Includes:
50 minute workout with customizable chapters

Equipment:
2 sets of dumbbells, medium & heavy, mat 

I only have one set of 2 lb dumbbells so that is what I used.  This is an excellent workout.  I was definitely challenged throughout the entire workout.  I will enjoy this dvd for many more workouts.  It is fun and feels amazing once you have completed the entire workout you will be so proud of yourself.

Figure30 Hips

Fitness expert, Tracie Long, tackles the hips, one of the most common mobility deficient joints in the body, with this bold 30 minute shape-cinching workout.

“Moving the hips the way nature intended is a lost art,” says Long. “We take for granted that the hips will be able to transition from sitting for long periods of time to assisting in our daily multi-tasking, be it to carry groceries, tote a toddler or close a door.”

Long leads participants through a series of athletic and ballet inspired dynamic exercises to improve strength, balance, and flexibility from the hip joint. The winning combination of standing single leg work and floor work encourages the hips to move safely and readily through a full range of motion while creating a slenderized, slip-in- your-jeans, shape.

It’s never too late to get back in your groove.


Includes:
30 minute workout with customizable chapters

Equipment:
2 slides, dowel stick, mat 

This workout is amazing.  I really enjoyed it and felt great after doing the workout.
