I love to exercise, but there are times when I can’t go to the gym. Maybe I’m between health clubs, maybe the car is being repaired, maybe the snow is two feet deep. I’m sure you can come up with a few “maybes” too. Finding a good low-impact exercise that pushes your cardiovascular system can be a challenge. This is especially true when you don’t own a treadmill or elliptical trainer. Fortunately, I found the best way to increase my heart rate when I’m tied up at home.
Two Exercise DVD Stand Out
I wrote reviews of over 40 exercise DVDs and there were more that I watched and didn’t write. There are two who stand out from the crowd. If you’re like me and you don’t have cardio equipment at home because of lack of space or lack of money, this is what got me it makes a trainer sweat as much as an elliptical machine. I learned the exercise skill in health: kickboxing.
Automatic Repeat Segments
If your health club doesn’t have kickboxing classes to help you learn the moves, buy DVDs that start with the basics and then move up to DVDs for advanced kickboxers. “The 10 Minute Kickbox Bootcamp Solution with Keli Roberts is a good start. It starts slowly to show you what to do correctly, and then repeats at a faster pace. Each exercise combination is 10 minutes long. What I like about this DVD is that you can repeat the 10-minute segment as many times as you want, so if you want to work on your arms and shoulders, you want to repeat that section for the number of times you choose;
Roberts is a very knowledgeable instructor and teaches clearly with practice. The music doesn’t sink in. I have found this to be a problem with many exercise DVDs. Weights are optional. If you are a beginner, you may want to start without them until you are more comfortable with the routine.
Insert Tutorial and Refresher Segment
Another kickboxing workout I like is “Kelly Coffey-Meyer’s 30 Minutes to Fitness – Kickboxing.” These routines are longer and more complicated. The longest is 53 minutes long. A separate DVD football tutorial video and sneak peek video “refrigerant” inserted in your corner. hiding place It’s a very challenging DVD and it took me a while to learn the routines. I could see it in slow motion on my TV/DVD which you helped. You can try that too. Weighted gloves are optional.
Modification for Impact
Kelly Coffey-Meyer is a very experienced instructor. Her DVD includes four other players. One of the actors is called a “modifier” who follows Coffey-Meyer but makes a lower version. When needed, the trailer moves.
I have other exercise DVDs, but none of these two compare in terms of professionalism, intensity, teaching ability and audio quality. Both include a core/abdominal segment.
There is no excuse anymore to skip cardio exercises. Try kickboxing. Sign up at your health club to learn. Otherwise, the DVD is on its way. Either way, it gives an interesting, challenging result.
