Two Exercise Videos

I just ordered two exercise videos from my wishlist.

Kelly Coffey's 30 Minutes to Fitness: Kickboxing- Kelly Coffey-Meyer shows perfect form in these no-nonsense, calorie-blasting combos (“it’s only 30 minutes; there’s no time for frilly choreography”). While not complex, the upper and lower-body combinations are varied and always changing. Every two minutes, you’ll learn a pattern, practice/execute it … then move on to something new. The moves range way beyond standard jabs and kicks. Kelly mixes “shuffle jab combos” and “fast five punches” with “duck rear kicks” and “step back lunges.” DVD includes a bonus workout — 24 minutes of core-focused cardio and floorwork. It also has a 14-minute kickbox tutorial and a 14-minute bonus abs segment.

Cheryl Burke's Disco Abs- A three-DVD set that features super-motivating disco hits sung by the original artists. You’ll blast calories with classics like “YMCA,” “That’s the Way I Like It,” “I Will Survive” and “It’s Raining Men.” The moves are pure disco — from Hustle steps and Celebration slides to “Comb Over Arms” and “Fever Hips.” These fast-paced fat-burners also include an ab-toning element (“twist that core,” “keep your abs pulled in”). You get three cardio workouts and a toning program (plus a 5-minute, pure-abs segment). The cardio programs build in intensity. The first is a short, beginner-level workout/tutorial. The next two programs integrate those steps into non-stop, high-energy dance workouts. The toning series features dance-inspired, all-standing moves designed to firm your legs, thighs and buttocks. DVDs offer two music volume options —
