For Christmas, my future sister-in-law gave me Women's Health: The Wedding Workout. She knew that I had been wanting to get back on track with my exercise and diet and thought it would be some motivation for me.
The DVD has several features. It has two Pre-Built Workouts: The Strapless Dress Workout - focuses on the upper body, and Short or Hip-Hugging Dress Workout - focuses on the lower body.
Also, you can make your own custom workout. It gives you 10 slots to put the segments any way you want. You have a few choices: 4 minute Warm-up, 11 minute Power Cardio, 12 minute Upper-Body, 11 minute Lower-body, 11 minute abs & core, and a 3 minute cool-down.
I attempted the Power Cardio right after Christmas and, as I had guessed, was incapable of doing it due to the quick movements that required co-ordination.
Today, I did the warm-up, upper-body, lower-body, and cool-down. I skipped over the abs and core, though I probably should do that, I'm not quite ready for it.
I LOVED all the segments! For the upper body all you need are 3-5 pound dumbbells. The instructor is very clear, and the workout is not incredibly fast paced so that you can easily follow along with the movements. I had a little more trouble with the lower-body but again just because it does require some co-ordination.
As I type this, I'm watching the abs & core portion of the DVD, and honestly, it looks pretty easy as far as me being able to follow along. I will probably add this in to my workout very soon.
I would totally recommend this DVD to anyone and as a reminder: If you can't do everything in a DVD, do what you can. And if the movement HURTS in a non-exercise pain way, DO NOT DO IT!
