So this workout video haul was a major one in terms of the number of workouts I bought.  If I buy more than 3 workouts a a time then it’s a huge haul.  I picked up a few workouts from totalfitnessdvds.com (TFD) 4th of July sale and a few from Target because I just couldn’t wait for them to be available online.   DISCLAIMER:  I HAVEN’T DONE ANY OF THESE WORKOUTS YET SO THIS POST IS NOT A REVIEW.  JUST SHOWING YOU WHAT I PICKED IT AND WHAT TYPE OF WORKOUTS I AM INTO.  Anyway, this is what I picked up!

I have never worked out with Trish Muse, but I had previewed her videos deeply enough to invest in her.  I had her on my wishlist for a while now so when I saw that I could get both of her workouts (Core Attack & Strength Attack) on one dvd from TFD half off I jumped on it!  I believe each of her workouts go for $14.95 each when they are not on sale.

From what I saw in the previews, these videos are not high impact, but they are very effective…I like the setting, the exercises, combinations, Trish’s personality in the video so I am happy with this purchase.  Sale Price:  $9.99

I had to get this next DVD like I had to get Kim Kardashian’s Fit in your Jeans by Friday and like how I had to get Mel B’s workout DVD.  I just love Kendra.  I loved her when she was on the reality show “Girl’s Next Door” so I picked up her DVD called Be A Knockout with Kendra, simple.  I will like this workout even though I have never seen any of it and I know for sure she is working out on the DVD with her trainer AND I KNOW the level is Intermediate which is fine because on some days I am not an advanced exerciser.  And just to add, NOBODY is an advanced exerciser everyday and if they tell you that they are straight up lying to you.  It’s OK to go from Intermediate to Advanced and back and forth depending on how you feel each day, but do push yourself to complete that workout with your 100% when you go to do them.

The next two workouts (Men’s Health Belly Off! The Strength Training Routine and The Body Weight Routine) have been on my wishlist for a long time.  I just didn’t want to pay $14.99 each for them so when I saw them on TFD’s 4th of July sale list for $7.99 each I jumped on the.  If you are into calisthenics and body weight work like how I am then these two DVDs are the ones for you.  The strength DVD you do have to use some kind of weight and it’s preferably dumbbells so it’s no big deal.  My motto for all of the ladies who want to get into fitness is…WORKOUT LIKE A MAN!  That is how you get results so never be discouraged when you see MEN’S HEALTH.   Women birth men so we can do as much or probably even more than they can, right?

The trainer in the DVD is very pleasant, knows what he’s doing, very effective and he’s so cute.  The setting looks good to me as well. 

Tracy Effinger is a bad girl ya’ll.  She’s a very bad girl and I work out with her A LOT.  I use her Squeeze Stronger DVD A LOT.  I was shocked to see this workout (Squeeze Lower Body Challenge) on discount because at full price it’s worth it.  I cannot wait to do this lower body workout.  It’s going to be off the hook.  That’s all I’m going to say about that.  Tracy is definitely a trainer you will want to have in your rotation if you want to see your body shrink.  There is barre work in this workout so make sure to pull out your barre or a high back chair.

Tracy’s other workouts.  I only have Squeeze Stronger, but the other workouts are just as effective.  Tracy does her workouts solo on video.

And I never thought I’d ever buy a Tae Bo DVD ever let alone two (This is Tae and Cardio Inferno).  I watched previews of both DVDs and instantly wanted them so when I aw them at Target I went after them quick.  I don’t like prior Tae Bo settings, but these new ones are so me.These workouts are still on the pre-order list online (along with Kendra’s), but are available in stores.  Odd.  Anyway, I couldn’t wait until September to get these so I got them.  I like the set and the flow of the workouts from the little I saw.  Prior to this I have workout out with Billy, but only on On Demand (cable tv) so I didn’t need to buy any workouts and he has many.  The only other one I have left to buy is Tae Bo Transformation and that’s it. 

I also have some Kelly Coffey-Meyer circuit and Olympic lifting DVDs on pre-order and I’m very excited about those!!!!
