DVD Review: Body by Bethenny
I’m going to swallow my snarky, self-righteous pride right here and say that I loved Body by Bethenny, the exercise DVD via Kristin McGee and Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel. I literally laughed out loud, and not in the LOL sense, but in the “there was audible noise coming from my mouth with the slight twinge of merriment [...]
Read more »DVD Review: Denise Austin Body Mix Makeover
In my humble opinion Denise Austin needs to leave the fallow world of exercise DVDs behind her and immerse herself in her true calling…phone sex. Her voice is prime for it. I’m done now, on to the review: My 2010 inaugural workout was Ms. Austin’s new Body Makeover Mix. It’s New Year’s, a body makeover [...]
Read more »DVD Review: Personal Training with Jackie
Okay, I will admit that Jackie Warner intimidates me a little. She is just soooo much stronger than I am. So, when I got her new DVD Personal Training with Jackie: Power Circuit Training I stared at it. For a while. Maybe an unhealthy amount of time. Everyday I would come home and look at [...]
Read more »DVD Review: Dance Your Ass Off Workout
A few months ago I had that dewy glow that only comes from coming from THE BEST AEROBICS CLASS EVER, which of course was the Dance Your Ass Off classa la the East 59th Street Crunch. I don’t think I’ve ever liked anything as much as I liked that class, not even Santa Claus, and that dude’s [...]
Read more »DVD Review: Element Yoga for Beginners
There are two subtitles that are interchangeable on just about any and every exercise video released. One is “for beginners” the other is “for weight loss.” They don’t really mean anything, but they sound good and aren’t particularly intimidating. By far the most consistently awesome Exercise video series I’ve done has been the Element series. [...]
Read more »DVD Review: 10-Minutes Solutions Knockout Body
The 10-Minute Solutions DVDs are usually a crap shoot. Some are great, some are awful. Knockout Body is damn near perfect. Fifty minutes of total body conditioning. This DVD has it all: Aerobics, Strength training, and Stretching. Oh, and it comes with its own weighted gloves (more on those later). I may have a wee [...]

I will bet you $5 that Tracy Effinger doesn’t eat cupcakes, she’s not that kind of girl. I’m pretty sure she eats raw steak sprinkled with flax seed and protein powder for breakfast. This woman is jacked. I hate to say it, but I judged her DVD by its cover, and based on the picture of her [...]
Read more »DVD Review: 10-Minute Solutions Hip Hop Dance Mix
My couch thinks I’m funky fresh. At least, that’s what it would think if it were imbued with a personality, because let me tell you when I popped10-Minute Solutions: Hip Hop Dance Mix into my DVD player, I was not expecting to be quite so B-Boy-tastic. Instructor Kristin Jacobs, is quite possibly more corn fed [...]
Read more »Acacia: Pilates for Beginners
Have you met Pilates Barbie? Her name is Kristin McGee and she has an exercise video called Pilates for Beginners. Actually, I’m pretty sure every Pilates video ever made is called Pilates for Beginners. But this one is a special snowflake. McGee is a really good instructor, for one she’s sweet and encouraging at all [...]

I have heard lots of good things about you in the past, in fact, when I tell people that I’m totally obsessed with exercise DVDs, you’re usually recommended very highly.
