Hola! I took my morning snack to the coffee shop to go with my iced coffee – cherries and cheese. I think I may be obsessed with both this week as always. Why aren’t cherries cheap and in season all year?
I was going to document all my eats today but my sandwich disappeared before I remembered to take a picture. I’m still sharing this mess so I can relive that amazing salad for another second 
Oh, and I almost forgot I taped Ask a Monican #27 yesterday!

Weight loss Wednesday – Working out at home
I know not everyone wants or needs to lose weight, but we should all be exercising. But some days it’s hard because…
it’s too rainy to go to the gym
you worked late
your walking buddy cancelled
you don’t want to!
they don’t have your favorite class at the gym today…
Well, you don’t need a gym to get moving – you can workout at home and it can be fun! Promise.
You know how I know? Because I had a blast Zumba-ing in my living room today.
A rep from the newly launched Yahoo! Shine Get It Guide sent me a Zumba fitness party pack to get my workout on at home. 
The pack came with the illusive Zumba maracas toning sticks I’ve been wanting since I got the Zumba bug! I have been bopping around with these like a Mexican jumping bean 
I can understand if you’re not a big fan of Zumba at the gym because it’s fast paced choreography with a room full of strangers. I get that.
But, the great thing about this (and most other fitness dvds) is it breaks down the basic moves first. So you can learn at your own pace without worrying if the lady behind you thinks you are embarrassing yourself and your entire family with those two left feet.
Want to get your workout on at home? Yahoo! Shine Get It Guide is giving one lucky RER reader a $25.00 gift certificate to Amazon to buy the workout dvd of their choice!
To Enter: Leave a comment answering…
What is your favorite exercise DVD or class at the gym?
Contest open to residents of the US and Canada. Contest ends 1/26/12 at 7am PST. Yahoo!Shine sent me the dvd pack to review at no cost. All opinions are my own.

BodyPump, such a great workout.
I love workout DVDs! Jillian Michaels is my favorite- I love her Yoga Meltdown, but I do her 30 Day Shred if I want a quick workout at home that makes my muscles burn!
Yoga at the gym. I get bored and quit when I try to do it at home.
Definitely my power yoga dvd.
I love bootcamp! It’s fast paced and never boring and I feel like I have someone to be accountable to because it’s usually the same ladies who show up.
I’ve fallen in love with yoga lately!
Love that you asked the person w/ the weight loss question about their height. That’s a lot of exercise! It sometimes bothers me when I see bloggers talk about their weight without mentioning their height- there’s a huge difference between weighing 120 pounds (or whatever) if you’re five feet versus five-seven.
Yes, height and weight are completely relative numbers. We need all the info to assess, right?
I love Jillian Michaels at home!
I have a major girl crush on Jillian Michaels. I love her Ripped in 30!!
Anything Jillian Michaels for me, but recently added P90X into the mix as well…doesn’t replace Jillian though!
Oh man! This would be awesome. My favorite gym workout is spin and my favorite DVD is 30 day shred… killer!
At the gym, I love yoga (so much easier to stay focused!) and boot-camp type classes. I need to update my exercise DVDs–Jillian is great but I have to admit the old school “FIRM” series was also pretty effective! (haven’t done those in a while though)
ooo such a great giveaway!! I LOVE doing spinning at the gym – it really gets my heart rate going!
when i was still going to the gym my favorite class was always yoga. it was a great way to get a good workout yet relax at the same time
I love the insanity DVD series!
gah! pick me! i need this! i’m moving to mexico and am not so sure i’ll have a gym anymore! i just recently fell in love with zumba….but there’s one particular TKB instructor who i’ll drive allllll around the city to go to her classes.
What an awesome giveaway!! I’ve been wanting to try zumba! At the gym, I love spinning, but at home–I haven’t found a Jillian Michaels DVD I don’t love–great workouts.
OMG you answered my question! Thank you so so much. (is it weird that I feel like a celebrity answered my question? since I only “know” you through the web it feels like you’re a celeb) Anyways, I’m going to do what you suggested with the tempo runs. I think having set day of the week for it would help me feel like I have a bit of a plan so I would get that feeling of going on a run with a purpose, but at the same time I wouldn’t feel like my life is revolving around a specific race schedule like it did in the fall. Thank again for answering! Totally made my day.
Hope it helps Barbara! Have a good one
Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred was my favorite workout DVD (probably because I haven’t done many others). However, I’ve recently being doing a spinning class at my gym and I’ve found an instructor I love!
that would be jillian michael’s 30 day shred.
my favorite class is spinning…though i may be biased since i teach it!!
Spin class was always my favourite when I lived near a gym. A friend lent me a Spinervals DVD but I haven’t tried it yet, therefore any of Bob Harper’s DVDs are my current favourites.
Body Pump hands down.
I bought that Zumba pack last year and love it! It’s so much fun! And the “toning sticks” are awesome for feeling like you’re part of a party. Even my 4 yr old stepson loves shaking them around.
I grew up in a town in Eastern Washington (a big agricultural region) and the main crop in my town is cherries. In fact, sorting cherries on a conveyor belt was my first job when I was 14. Anyway, they are a VERY fickle and labor intensive fruit to grow, hence the cost, etc. I remember sorting out lots of cherries that didn’t make the cut. As an adult, I hated them for a long time…that’s what being overly saturated with something as a kid will do to you. I’m 30 and I think last summer was the first time I spent the money on them on my own.
I find this fascinating! Did you eat a ton of them or just get sick of the sight of them?
Hah! Well, I think it was because I ate a TON and they didn’t seem appetizing anymore. But also they are pretty expensive at the grocery store, so even though I spend a ton on groceries (Whole Foods LOVES me!) it seemed silly to spend lots o’ money on something I feel sort of blase about.
My favorite class is called Sculpting Express. Weight lifting for my whole body done in about an hour.
At home, Jillian 30 day and at the gym spin
I have a step DVD I use at home. I just got Turbo Jam that I am looking forward to trying.
I love Michelle Dozois’s videos! They are super fun and fat burning! I can easily burn 500+ calories in an hour.
Her latest one that I love: More Peak 10 Cardio Interval Burn
WANT! My favorite exercise class is definitely spin! I love running now, or at least I’m learning to love it, and my favorite DVD is the 10 Minute Solution Knockout Body or maybe Slim & Tone Pilates.
Pretty well any of the Jillian Michaels DVD’s especially the 30 Minute Shred, Turbofire is great as well.
Body Pump. Fo’ Sho’.
DVD has to be Element Yoga for Beginners with Elena Brower. I went to a class of hers in NYC.
Fitness Class to go to – ZUMBA! Except my instructor went to Mexico this week and there’s no class.
This is when I wish I could Zumba at home with some toning shaking sticks!
I love the New York City Ballet workout DVDs! I used to do them at my sister’s house and just ordered my own this week.
I haven’t done a dvd in years. I guess I should get on the band wagon!! I have watched the zumba avertisement and that looks like fun!!
Love me some bootcamp! I get major exercise ADD doing most other classes/videos and like to never know what’s coming next.
I don’t do classes at the gym…i’ve never been a member…I don’t own any work out videos but can remember doing richard simmons with my grandma…i’d love to try some new ones
Barre3 Total Body Lift Workout dvd….. LOVE IT! Oh, and any of my yoga dvds.
I LOVE spin class. Love it.
BodyPump!!! I LOVE it!
I was sure I was going to say the Zumba at home deal, because I’ve been wanting to try it out but am a bit scared to go due to my two left feet! But now that I see these comments, I’m thinking Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, P90X…so many possibilities!!!
Spin class at the gym! & Jillian Michaels-30 day shred
I like the Jillian yoga meltdown and p-90X.
I love body pump and weight classes because I have NO motivation to do strength on my own!
I like Preventions Belly, Butt, & Thighs! It works wonders for me.
My favorite class is TKB– Love it!
my absolute favorite gym class just happens to be Zumba! but only if it’s taught by my favorite instructor, Dora. my mom and I have been doing Zumba with Dora even before it was so popular!
My favorite workouts – DVD or class – are ones with weights. I love Body Pump and anything from Jillian.
I am in love with Bodypump and spin at the gym!
Currently my favorite class is BodyPump. It really helps me stay consistent with weight training. As far as exercise DVD’s, maybe “No More Trouble Zones” from Jillian Michaels. It is hard but fun.
Spinning @ gym is always great!
I love any workout class that has to do with circuits. I feel like I get an all over workout and keep my heartrate up. I also love hip hop dance classes as a workout.
I like Zumba at the gym!
Favorite class at the gym: definitely boot camp! Favorite work out DVD: Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.
I loooove spinning but it is always at the most inconvenient hours so I rarely get to take it =/
my favorite is my old stand by, the Barry’s Bootcamp Series (original).
When my sister joined the YMCA she had a few guest passes. We did water aerobics and it was so much fun.
My favourite class at the gym is definetly spin. I also tried a Canadian version of BodyPump (I think) and loved it!!
Spin and zumba tie for my favourite classes! Workouts with a good beat are apparently my jam.
My fav class at the gym is skip and sculpt!
I love spin class! Though usually not during the actual class. I always mentally argue with the instructor that no hill is this intense in real life.
I love Pilates classes at the gym!
I have always wanted to try zumba but am to shy to take a class. I would love to try it at my house.
my favorite exercise dvd right now is supreme 90 day system.
My favorite class/work out dvd is definitely yoga. I went to a Zumba class at my gym once and I loved it, but it’s always so packed.
Either spinning or Zumba! Anything that’s keeps me interested and moving!
I am a total dork at Zumba but I still do it every now and again when my old instructor hosts charity Zumbathons.
I have too many DVDs to pick a fave, so I’ll say my favorite class at the gym is aqua aerobics. Sure everyone there is almost twice my age, but it is easy on my joints and the instructor knows what she is doing, because I always feel like it was a good workout.
I like P90X…it kicks my butt…and I never want to start it, but once I do, I feel ten times better.
Some may not consider it exercise since it’s so damn fun, but my favorite way to get my sweat on is belly dancing. I started taking classes last year and am totally hooked. Definitely does a booty good. And the husband seems to like it too!
I love DVD’s! Pop it in and go! Normally when I put one in someone else in the family wants to join! Its a great way to get other involved!
Power ride and spin! Love, love, love them both!
My favorite class at the gym is spinning. I’ve been wanting to buy a yoga DVD to work on at home!
I don’t belong to a gym but I go to hot yoga. Favorite DVD to do at home. Physique 57…and a really old MTV yoga video that I’m embarrassed to admit I own.
My favorite is the hip-hop dance class. The one I attended most recently was to “Baby Got Back,” to which I nearly throw out my back trying to relive the dancing days of my teens. Ah, memories! Lots of fun!
Right now I am loving the spinning class at my gym
I love Zumba classes at the gym. Unfortunately I haven’t had a membership in about a year, due to costs, so I workout at home using intervals. Right now, my favorite DVD is Yogalosophy. It’s more of a workout than yoga, but I love it! That, and my MTV Pilates one, of course
I love hot yoga! I’m starting to take a fitness Pilates class but I think I need more 1-on-1 attention to make sure I have the proper form. I definitely agree about the whole Zumba thing… I took one class and never went back because I was so intimidated by the moves, people, and their ability to shake it ( never once took a dance class).
Currently I am loooving Physique 57!
I’m currently addicted to spin!! I love it, but I want to try something new! The only problem is, I’m the shy girl! I’m going to make it my goal next week to try one new class!
For a butt kicking at home workout I do Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred or her Metabolism Booster workout.
For a “lighter” day workout I do any of Leslie Sansone’s Walk Away The Pounds workout videos. I love her!
Love my step class at the gym, its step,body pump, step…and its painful just the way I love it!
DVD: 30 day shred!
I love Jillian Michael’s DVDs, especially 30 Day Shred because I never have an excuse to miss a 20 minute workout! Also, she says true things like “When it’s hard, that’s when it counts the most.” Love that!
I love spin class and Jillian’s yoga DVD.
Body Pump and Body Attack are my favs at the gym
Jillian Michaels 30 day shred or body pump at the gym. And you are right-no excuses to getting a workout in!
ZUMBA!!!!!
Favorite DVD is Bob Harper’s Power Yoga
My favorite DVD is Bethenny Frankel’s Body by Bethenny and my favorite gym class is Zumba, but I’ve been itching to get a Zumba video.
My favorite class is Fusion–it’s a mix of tai chi, yoga and Pilates. My gym offers Zumba classes but I’ve been too chicken/uncoordinated to try!
I like bootcamp types of workouts!
(pizza is my favorite food of all time too!)
My favorite class to TEACH and TAKE are Bootcamps!! You burn tons of calories and work everything!!
My favorite class at the gym is Yoga Sculpt!
My favorite DVD is my Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga one.
I keep hearing fantastic things about Zumba, I want to try it.
Hmm I don’t take a lot of classes but I do love yoga when I can get there!
I like Bethenny Frankel’s Yoga DVDs!
I love Bootcamp! Nothing like getting my ass kicked at 7:30am on a Saturday!
spin class fa sho!
Recently I’ve been really into barre classes. But they’re too expensive for me to do more than once a week so I’ve been trying the Core Fusion DVDs at home.
My favorite is 30 day shred… I know. I know. That’s not terribly original, but it is.. Oh and I also like p90x! That is tough, because I’m terrible at anything relating to strength.
I am a yoga person. I love a good, strong Vinyasa class. I also like my power yoga video I can do at home if I don’t make it to the studio.
p90x!!!!!!
i love bootcamp, but i really want to try zumba. it looks like a blast!
I’m a Jillian Michaels video lover.
My favorite class is a bootcamp at my gym. It leaves me drenched!!! Favorite DVD…either Jillian Michaels Banish Fat Boost Metabolism or P90x Plyometrics. Both are killers!
I only own 2 workout DVDs so I’d have to go with 30day shred at home. At the gym, yoga is my favorite.
Also, I’m new to running so can you explain what “junk miles” are?
thanks for the giveaway, monica!
i have an old ali mcgraw yoga video (yes, that is how old it is, it is not even a dvd) that i love. that’s the only at home workout i have done more than once!
Pilates for me!
My favorite workout DVD is the strength workout in Bob Harper’s latest series.
My fav class at the gym is ZUMBA! Just started going again today. Although living in upstate NY and dealing w/ cold temperatures, it’d be so nice to have a DVD to do it at home!
I still do my good old Your Personal Best with Elle Mcpherson and Karen Voight.
i love spinning!!
Yoga was always my favorite at the gym
I really like zumba. Hip hop dance classes are also a great workout!!
I love Namaste Yoga dvd’s. For some reason, I am really nervous about going to a yoga studio, even tho I have a gift certificate to go to one…need to just suck it up and ry, because I bet I’d love it!
Yoga, for sure! Too bad I don’t do it enough.
30 day shred for my favorite video and my favorite class is spinning!
I love my Ashtanga Yoga CD with John Scott!
I like Insanity or 30 Day Shred.
I just cannot do the gym, too self conscience maybe? I am a total at home dvd work out junkie, though. Hey, I have no excuse not to, right?
My all time favorite instructor is Cathe Friedrich. Love.
Love Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and another Jackie Warner video with a similar strength/cardio/abs format!
I love the Insanity workouts. My fave is pure cardio.
my favorite class @ the gym is butts and guts!
Oh man! I heard some great news that I had to tell you! We are getting a Dunkin Donuts!!
Oh and my favorite class is Body Pump!
I am loving spinning. So much fun!
My favourite gym class is body pump! (weights to music) At home, I like the booty camp fitness dvd and my guilty pleasure, Paula Abdul cardio cheer.
I <3 Turbo Fire, Jill, and the Bob Harper Warrior Yoga.
Spinning!
I love Jill’s total yoga meltdown for something low key. I am also considering biting the bullet and getting Insanity.
I just started taking Zumba a week ago and I LOVE it. I am currently trying to get my mom to come with me. I know she will love it too!
the only exercise video that i can do the whole way through (and actually enjoy it!) is turbo jam. i have tried several and liked them all. now i want to try turbo fire and see how that compares.
I love Zumba!! It’s my favorite class at the gym.
So first, my favorite at home workout DVD is TurboFire. Love the HIIT workouts.
Also, LOVE that you’re doing so many Ask a Monican’s lately. They’re so entertaining to watch!
I’m also confused about the junk miles concept. I understand not training for a race and workouts not having a distinct purpose, but isn’t it really a good thing any time someone gets out and runs. No matter what you’re still getting out there moving, getting stronger, increasing your endurance and burning calories…so why are “junk miles” such a bad thing?!? I don’t get it?!
Favorite class is definitely Body Pump, and I love the Shred!
I love spinning and Zumba at the gym and 30 day shred at home
Physique 57 is my favorite dvd and zumba is my favorite in class workout. Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh! Great giveaway! My favorite class will always be body pump… but since they don’t offer it at my gym
I always go to an “abs and back” class 3 days a week. They spend 25 minutes targeting your core and it’s great!
I babysit on occasion for another fitness blogger who passed onto me the newest Billy Blanks (as in, Tae Bo) program… PT 24/7. It has boxing gloves you attach to your shoes with resistance bands — a shockingly incredible at-home workout!
30 Day Shred!! Not only do I apply Jillian’s encouragement to my workout but to life as well! RAWR!
Shred! Kicks my booty every time.
I like any classes that really keep me moving! But I’m also a big fan of hot yoga.
I’ve never done an exercise video- but my favorite class at the gym is either spinning-core or pilates
Pilates!
CrossFit. Does that count as a fitness class?? If not, spin.
i <3 kickboxing. hitting things is fun!
I have always wanted to try zumba though! in another life i was definitely a dancer – not that i got to keep any sense of rhythm in this one! haha
my fav classes are kickboxing and TBC!
What don’t I love lately? My first love was Zumba, but now my love is bootcamp. I love to mix in Muay Thai Kickboxing, TRX, and spinning to keep it fresh.
Love me some TurboKick
I love spinning and Zumba at the gym, so fun!
I love all of Jillian michaels’ fitness DVDs! I’m obsessed with her!
The Yoga class I take every Monday. It just gives me a good start of the week
Body pump for sure! So hard!
I love Jillian Michaels…and my favorite DVD of hers is her kettle bell workout. I also like Bob Harpers yoga!!!
I’m a fan of yoga DVDs because I’m still totally shy about attending grown up classes (as opposed to the mommy and me classes I take/took with my son from 4 months-present, 12 months). I keep thinking if the DVDs make me “good enough” I’ll work up the courage to go, even though being “good” totally isn’t the point and I know it.
I love bootcamp and pilates at the gym!!!
I enjoy doing dance games on the Wii. Not exercise videos, but still fun!
I haven’t tried any DVDs at home, but would the opportunity. I really enjoy my Kickboxing class at the gym. It kicks my butt!
I feel like recently I finally got my workout mojo back and have been OBSESSED with workout DVDs after the dread mill. My favorite one lately has been shred it with weights by Jillian michaels!
My favorite class at the gym is Body Pump. always challenging but great music!!
My favorite workout DVD is The 30 day Shred with Jillian Michaels.
Zumba is by far my favorite class! I’m also a fan of BodyJam, which is similar but more contemporary in music.
just went to a nike fit class at the school gym. a nice change from running and working out on my own!
Oh, I am a Zumba girl, all the way! Love anything dance related too!
I am a huge fan of Jillian Micheals and I also really want Tone it Up’s dvd. Crosses fingers!
Jillian Michaels. My fave is the 30 day shred
I have many favorite classes at the gym. The classes I go to at the gym are WERQ, Zumba, Cardio Kickboxing, R.I.P.P.E.D., Strong (group weight lifting), and YogaFit!
I love Jackie Warner’s Xtreme 30 minute workout but would love to learn Zumba in the comforts of my home. I am alot of things-coordinated is NOT one of them!
I love all of the videos offered from Sparkpeople.com! Completely free and such a variety!
I love Zumba! Most recently I have been torturing myself with the P90X Plyometrics workout. I kind of like it in a sick way.
Kickboxing class is my favorite – especially when there’s some awesome music!
Right now Jillian michaels is my fav, in 20 min I feel like I can get in a good mini workout.
right now, I’m really digging insanity! it’s tough but surprisingly enjoyable.
Probably Jillians No trouble zone or Jackie Warner it has to be no more than 30 min!
In college I loved step. Now that I’m older and don’t belong to a gym I own a bunch of Jillian DVDs, she kicks my butt!
My favorite at the gym is boot camp and spinning class!
Any swimming class!
Zumba all the way!
My favorite class at the gym is Body Pump. As for my favorite work out DVD, I guess Jillian Michaels, but I would love to try something new!
I’m a sucker for anything Jillian Michaels does. At the gym, I love Spin and Zumba.
bodypump!!
I’m a body pump addict:)
I am definitely too intimidated to try Zumba at the gym, but I’d definitely give it a whirl at home. I’m a big fan of the 30 Day Shred, I’ve been doing that one for about a month and seeing great results. Seems like all Jillian’s workouts are popular! She is so motivating.
Favorite class is Kickboxing, I have been too scared to try Zumba though for fear of looking like an idiot!
Favorite class at the gym is spinning!
My favorite DVDs are TurboFire! Comes with HIIT workouts that are short but make you puke! Yay!
Kickboxing!!! Definitely my favorite class…it’s such a great workout!!
I always work out at home, I try to keep it interesting with the ONDEMAND fitness channel. Otherwise, my go-to videos are Jillian Michaels, Jackie Warner and Bob Harper.
Another awesome video! I especially loved the tiny furry kitty cameo
I liked Power90 when I did it at home. Zumba classes have always been intimidating to me. But spinning is fun.
The Kidless Kronicles
Right now my favorite workout DVD is Jillian Michael’s new Extreme Shed and Shred. It’s fast paced and has new moves she hasn’t used in previous dvds so the workout is over before I know it.
I love just about any yoga class I can get to. Its the best for me on recovery days.
my favorite class i’ve EVER taken was willpower & grace!
[ive been considering getting the DVDs to try, too!]
my favorite work out DVD as of late is Bob’s Biggest Loser Yoga for Weight Loss. It always makes me feel like I’ve had a good workout, but doesn’t make my downstairs neighbors think and elephant parade is taking place in my living room.
I’d love to try the Kettlebell workout DVD with Bob Harper! After all, we both know how schmexy he is
xo.
I love Cycle and Sculpt-a mix between cycling and weights!
I love Zumba!
I love yoga class the most because it’s the only class I’ve ever tried!
I just tried sweat and soul cycle and it was no joke…the bikes move from side to side! slightly terrifying but fun
I know I missed it but thought I would reply anyway. My fall back DVD is Power 90 but at the gym I love Spinning. Its been awhile since Ive been to class but I remember the high I felt afterwards, LOVE IT!
i’m loving (and highly recommend) the new Bob Harper dvds–they’re a mix of strength and cardio and they’re definitely hardcore!
I liked p-90x but it was too long to commit too all the time, so right now I’m digging Jillian Michael’s 30 minute yoga video.
I love the dvds that Jillian Michaels has out. I’m determined to finish the 30 day shred. Only 3 more days to go!!!
If I do workout at home, I like Jillian Michael’s Ripped in 30 dvd. It definitely gets me sweating.
i like to zummmmmba (said in my best latin accent!). and i just discovered cardio boxing where I can punch away the day’s stress – so fun!
Jillian Michaels 30 day shred is my favorite!
My favorite gym class is Tummy Tuck & Butt Lift.
Kickboxing is a second fave!
Jillian michaels 6 week 6 pack!
I am officially a crossfit girl now. When I was going to the gym my fav class was body conditioning. The teacher was amazing and I was practically in tears because my legs were burning so much!
I really like Power 90, but I don’t do it all the time. It’s good for lazy days when you don’t want to leave home, gets your heart up, but quick and you can shrink portions if needed.
My favorite class is kickboxing!
I love kickboxing and zumba!
I tried bellydancing a couple times… want to feel COMPLETELY uncoordinated? BELLYDANCE!
My favorite workout class is RIPPED…hurts so good!
Kickboxing !
I love Zumba!
My absolute FAVORITE dvd is Bryan Kest Power Yoga! He has the most soothing voice and its from the early 90s so he does all his yoga moves in a pair of sweet jorts!
I love zumba but I don’t do it at my apartment’s gym because they do it in a really small room with everyone on the ellipticals and treadmills right in the same room.
My favourite gym class is definitely Zumba (which is why I am so jealous of your party pack!) and my favourite DVD is an old kickboxing one!
I love my Bob Harper work out DVD’s, the people in the actually sweat!
I love my Jillian Michael’s DVDs for a quick at-home workout
I like the walk away the pounds videos.
Any Jillian Michael’s DVD, or, if I’m feeling old school, some Tae Bo. Nothin’ like Billy yelling at you to eek out one more drop kick!
I’m a big fan of Jillian Michaels’s Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism!
I would love to be able to do yoga at home with a new DVD!
I am a huge fan of the Butt Bible.
I got my husband liquored up one night and got him to do a Bollywood dance video with me. It was hilarious and he was disturbingly good at it.
My favorite class at the gym is ZUMBA, and I suck! But I love it, and keep going back!
Ha, well I interpret “favorite” as “least-hated”….I have to go with the Leslie Sansone walking DVD with jogging segments at the end of each mile (sorry, at work and I don’t know the formal title off the top of my head). The jogging segments get my heart rate up enough that it’s a good calorie burn, but it’s not all killer so I can force myself to do it even when I’m sleepy and lazy.
My favorite class at my gym is called BodyBlast. It is just basically an hour long of curcuit training. We constantly switch from high intensity cardio (think mountain climbers, squat jacks, etc.) to various strengh moves. I love it because it’s different moves each week and the quick pace never lets me get bored! Plus, I almost always wake up the next day sore in some spot! That let’s me know I must be doing something right, right?!
I love Spin at the gym…unfortunately, I can’t do it at home. When I’m too lazy to get to the gym, I try and do Jillians 30 day shred.. That definitely leaves me sore!
My absolute favorite class at the gym is their “Lunch Krunch”. It’s a 30 minute workout that leaves my abs and booty sore for days! There are various stations set up around the room with weights, medicine balls, resistance bands, whatever to make your muscles burn! We do each station for about 30 secs, break for 10 sec and continue. We do 2 rounds of this. Then we end with a hardcore ab session that leaves me sore!
I love Tara Stiles yoga DVD for at home workouts and I my favorite gym class is a step class at our local rec center. I am the youngest participant by at least 30 years but it is a killer workout and I always leave drenched in sweat.
Um… yeah, i live in a small town in central Montana so classes are limited here and I have never purchased a dvd besides a cheap yoga for weightloss dvd at target… so i guess Aerobics- which is the least expensive and one of the only group classes offered in my town. ha! Been dreaming of trying zumba…
My favorite class at the gym is Body Bump, because it requires no rhythm at all. Zumba would be fun to try in the comforts of my own house!
The only class I go to is spin. I love that everyone can control their own intensity.
Hey on a side note…would you be interested in giving one of my workout rings away for a giveaway??
Zumba for sure!
*covets your party pack*
I love step and tone or cardio blast.
my favorite workout dvds are definitely jillians…shes awesome!! my favorite workout class has been turbo kick. i miss it so much (it was at my old gym in chicago). there are SO many great classes out there though. love the giveaway!
i Really like zumba………but the place i like is 10bucks a class so had to cut back on that. At the gym i usually go for TURBO KICKBOXING so much fun and i usually burn over 700cals:)
I love yoga in the studio and on dvd.
I love the 10 minute workout DVDs because I can just do one segment if that’s all the time I have or more if I want. My favorite class at the gym is the TRX class though, because I can do things I can’t do at home!
This MAY sound silly, but I love all of the Just Dance games on the Wii. You don’t realize it at first, but you get a really great workout! They usually leave me pretty sore afterwards but that’s probably because I’m doing all the dances wrong. God only knows what my neighbors think! ::shakes head::
I like to do The Firm upper body and abs DVD. It’s only like 15 minutes but very effective and not at all hokey.
Ahh! I just got zumba for the wii and I would loveeee those maracas! And yes, I’m calling them maracas, not toning sticks.
my favorite class at the gym is Zumba and my favorite at home work out is Insanity!
I’m into the Insanity DVDs at the moment. I’m still doing the first month, been doing that one for about three months now, but it works and I like everything that he does. It’s crazy but that’s why it’s called Insanity.
My favorite DVD is Ellen Barrett’s Burn n Firm Pilates.
My favorite class at the gym is a new one: Ripped. It’s crazy intense and I love a good challenge. I would definitely use the $25 to buy a DVD of the class because the times it’s offered at my gym conflict with my work schedule.
I am sure that I am too late, but I love Zumba at my gym! I have been to other classes, but the teacher is no where near as good as the one at the gym! She makes the class!
Right now, I’m loving Chalean Extreme. I much prefer weights over cardio, so this is a fun one for me.
I love any yoga class at the gym. It’s the opposite of running — calming, relaxing, and I feel like I took a nap when I’m done.
I like the Jillian Micheals dvds!
I gotta say, I do love the Zumba, at home or in the gym. I don’t really do either that much, but not for a lack of wanting!
Doing 30 day Shred! It’s kicking my but. I haven’t tried Zumba yet but just got the DVD’s! Looks like fun!
