New Years Resolution with Moms Into Fitness #giveaway

January 1, 2010 by Momstart 300 Comments

Moms Into Fitness’s own Lindsay Brin contacted me and asked me to do a review of her exercise videos. That was three months ago today. Now I look at her blog and I think of how wonderful she is and I want to honor her request no matter how late it might be. Why?

First check out the giveaway she is hosting: (click on the picture for more information)

 

Secondly, she is a motivational person. I wrote to her and told her that I suffer from depression. That I had a bout of it right after my second pregnancy. It’s normal for women to have post partum depression and we don’t need to be ashamed of it.

“And I hope your PPD is better!  I’ve worked with so many women with it.  Did you know it hits 1 in 4 of us?  Geez-as if we don’t deal with enough as mothers!  Truly, I hope you are feeling better.  I’m happy that you recognized you had it.”

Thirdly, she sent me three DVD’s to review.

Core Firing Squad: Your core muscles will bounce back and redefine into a flat stomach with the CFS method. This is true for you if you were recently pregnant, going through menopause, have back pain, or haven’t exercised in a long time. By using Lindsay Brin’s method of deep abdominal and pelvic floor training, you can return to the flat stomach you used to have, as well as all of the health benefits of a strong core. These three progressive 7-8 minute workouts can be used on their own or as a part of a more comprehensive program with Lindsay’s other DVDs.

Dance Jam: Because I like to dance!

Let’s be honest, workouts can be boring. And if you’re bored, you won’t want to make exercise a regular part of your week. Join Lindsay Brin and four other former NFL dancers who hung up the white boots to become busy moms, for fun and easy hip hop moves and intense cardio for the waistline-with workouts that work with your schedule. Only have a few minutes a day? The Express Workout will keep you on track. Have a little bit longer? Keep the groove going with no complicated moves and no dance experience required. Want to really rev up your metabolism and keep the calories burning even after the workout is over? Join the Halftime Show and really get things burning. A dance party that is so much fun, you’ll forget you’re working out!

Boot Camp, because she felt I needed it to help me lose weight faster.

The only DVD of its kind with over 2 hours of exercises including 10-10 minute weight loss workouts! Choose from the 10 minute Quickstart menu, 6 core workouts or Lindsay’s 12 week program. Reshape your body, flatten your tummy and get your energy back with Pilates, Cardio, Core, Kickboxing, Plyometrics, Yoga, Mom/Baby Core Strength, Toning and more!

 

My opinion, even though I received these so long ago, it was right around the time that I started having problems that led to my surgery. Exercise would only have made the symptoms worse so I did as little as possible up to the time of my surgery. Do I have intentions of trying all of the DVD’s at my disposal, yes I do, as soon as the doctor says I’m clear for workouts, then I’m shedding those pounds and quickly.

Then I can update the post with reviews or just do a review on a Fitness Friday post.

Fitness Friday – Latin Dancing

April 9, 2009 by MomStart 131 Comments

So after skipping a month I am ready for my Latin Dancing giveaway. I posted the first link of my month long Fitness Friday Latin style here.

My second week ugg, didn’t happen but by the time I put the disk in it wouldn’t play. I think my kids scratched it. It is possible it came as a coaster but I think it was my children. I was lazy and depressed and ate pounds of Godiva chocolate and when I finally stepped on my Wii fit again this week, it said you have put on two pounds since you last got on. You need to use the me every day to see good results. You did not make your goal. So, I’m motivated to try harder. (of course this motivation comes after wanting to throw the fit at the screen)

It was my Wii that inspired me to finish reviewing my DVDs from the Core Rhythms

Before I finish up my review, let me tell you. Core Rhythms does not leave you hanging. They have two different websites that will help support you and provide a community in your quest to lose weight and get back into shape. They do recommend that you seek out your doctor before beginning an exercise program

CORE RHYTHMS PROGRAMKick Start DVD

This one is considered to have a slow tempo to teach the three basic moves of the workout. It is kind of boring but ESSENTIAL in learning how to dance. My husband and I took dancing lessons and we had to master the basic steps before our teacher would let us move on. It was quite frustrating sometimes. This award winning interactive DVD allows you to choose from front, back, split or zoom-in-on-the-core camera angles.To read more of my review click Latin style.

Full Workout DVD

This one is a 45 minute workout is quite a bit of work. I do like how it starts slow, builds and then they do a cool down period. I think these are key elements that all workout videos should have.  View every step from front or back. You can use the interactive help option to get help from Jaana and Julia’s tips.

Quick Workout DVD

This was by far my favorite one. I probably would have enjoyed Latin Dance Made easy but wasn’t able to review it. I was able to do the Samba and Meringue and work up a sweat and feel quite a tug in my middle area. It was an awesome workout and I know that my waist would love it if I continued to use this DVD alone for 20 minutes a day. Again, you have the option to choose the camera angle. That’s pretty neat on the DVD’ creators part.

Latin Dance Made Easy – was my scratched DVD but here is a quote from Posh Point of View

Here, dance champions, Bob and Julia Powers, teach three popular Latin dances, Salsa, Meringue and Rumba, that you and a partner can take straight to the clubs.
I know you want to try it out and see how well it works I will keep you updated on my progress. My neighbors and I are going to meet every Tuesday and dance away the inches and pounds.

Win One:

Visit Core Rhythms and tell me something great about their site.
Visit Core Rhythms community and check out the features, tell me about them.
