Product Description Fitness expert Denise Austin presents a workout for kids that incorporates dance, hip-hop, sports drills, yoga, and stretching. Genre: Exercise/Fitness Rating: NR Release Date: 28-DEC-2004 Media Type: DVDAmazon.com With the goal to get kids moving, fitness expert Denise Austin leads preteens in a 20-minute total body workout incorporating elements of dance, hip-hop, sports drills, and yoga. It begins with a six-minute warm up of stretches and lunges, followed by seven minutes of cardio-funk, kick-boxing, and traditional aerobics. The program ends with a strengthening segment of push-ups, abdominal exercises, and beginning yoga. Effervescent Austin provides adequate verbal coaching to a dozen kids who perform the moves. This moderately fast-paced program assumes its participants are fairly fit at the onset and in only a few cases offers reduced levels of participation for varying abilities. No equipment is necessary and minimal space is required in this energetic option for general youth fitness. Don’t miss the DVD’s bonus episode, “Family Fit,” a 20-minute workout designed for families to do together. It follows the same format as the “Fit Kids” routine, with the addition of a few exercises that require partnering for resistance training. One segment employs a basketball (or similar sized ball) which is the only equipment necessary. “Quality fitness, doing it together,” is Austin’s peppy mantra, which results in a corny but clever way to get families off the couch.

Product Description A scientifically proven plan for turning traditional weight and aerobic exercises into super-exercises, helping muscles reach their “hot point” for faster and better results.
A complete plan for total body transformation, Hot Point Fitness introduces more than 100 unique super-exercises, demonstrating routines that exact 100 percent muscle output for leaner and denser muscle in a fraction of the time standard weight-training and aerobic exercises take to get results. When seen through MRI scans, muscles actually glow red hot after these incredible workouts. Focus-ing on precision in movement and on exercise variation, Hot Point Fitness presents amazing three-, four-, and five-day-a-week workouts as well as advice on the optimum foods to fuel the body, manipulate metabolism, and burn that stubborn fat.Amazon.com Review Hot Point Fitness author Steve Zim is a personal trainer/gym owner who has “a small army” of personal trainers that uses his method. Zim personally trains mostly celebrities and professional athletes, especially Olympic figure skaters and professional baseball players. His clients aim for optimal physical appearance as well as physical performance. Their sports depend on strength, agility, flexibility, and speed. According to Zim, you can achieve your own best personal fitness level by using the Hot Point Fitness program. The goal: to transform your body into the best shape ever.
The main difference between Hot Point Fitness and most fitness books is intensity and structure. Zim leads you through each workout, much like your own personal trainer would. “Hot Point Weight Training is designed to work each muscle to 100 percent of its capacity, and consequently completely transform the way the muscles in your body look,” writes Zim. “The point of Hot Point Nutrition is to speed the metabolism and make it burn calories at a white-hot pace. Hot Point Aerobics will super-heat your muscles, and burn fat from your body quickly, safely, and forever,” he says.
Zim’s program is precisely structured and divided into three 28-day phases. During phase 1, you become a regular exerciser by spending one hour at the gym, three days per week. Phase 2 keeps you in the gym for 90 minutes, four days per week, and gets you to the point of “needing” to exercise. Phase 3–up to two hours a day at the gym, five days per week–brings you to an athlete’s level of fitness (strength, flexibility, and endurance).
Zim developed his weight-training exercises by using MRI technology and infrared imaging to examine which muscles work during which exercises, and how hard. He was amazed to learn that traditional weight-training exercises only work 20 to 30 percent of the targeted muscles. He altered exercises and perfected techniques to build muscle density (not necessarily muscle mass), optimally by working muscles to exhaustion.
Zim describes the exercises clearly, with plenty of attention to technique. Each is illustrated by several photographs, which vary in quality (sometimes the lighting or clothing color doesn’t provide enough contrast between model and background). Experienced exercisers will find almost all the exercises familiar, but will learn much from the technique recommendations that make the difference between a humdrum workout and an effective, muscle-blasting one. –Joan Price
Product Description A leading fitness expert offers a ten-week plan for a total-body makeover, using a sensible diet plan and a different exercise routine for each week that is designed to improve cardiovascular health, reduce weight, and sculpt a slimmer body. Amazon.com Review This is a 10-week beginner’s program and training log for women. It’s designed to improve muscle tone, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility and body composition, and to allow you to keep track of every repetition of every exercise. Each week on the program features new exercises and focuses on a different aspect of nutrition–fat, protein, water, vitamins. The program is well-organized, clearly outlined, and easy to follow. Best of all, unlike the authors of other eponymous fitness books, Kathy Smith doesn’t get in your face on every page; she seems to have presumed you’ve picked up the book because you want to get in shape first and because she’s Kathy Smith second. Good choice, good book.

Features 15-30 minute work out routines at end of book
Use an exercise ball and the Pilates approach to strengthen, tone and condition your abdominals

Product Description Innovative abdominal exercises to help tone the abdomen, improve posture, and build a strong back using the Swiss exercise ball.
Offers a 10-minute and 20-minute workout for all levels of fitness.
Shows how the mobility of the ball targets underutilized muscles.
Shows how traditional sit-ups and “ab” machines limit how much abdominal muscles can be trained and also aggravate lower back pain and neck tension.
The exercise ball has long been recommended by doctors, physical therapists, and Olympic coaches for people suffering from back pain. Now Colleen Craig, author of the bestselling book Pilates on the Ball, reveals why the exercise ball is unmatched as a tool for building superb abdominal strength. She presents a selection of over 80 innovative exercises, including some of the key powerhouse-builders from the Pilates Method, all of which she has adapted specifically to the ball.
Craig shows how traditional sit-ups and “ab” machines actually limit the degree to which abdominal muscles can be trained and can even aggravate lower back pain and neck tension. In contrast, the very mobility of the ball targets underutilized muscles, recruiting both deep and superficial abdominal muscle fibers to enhance results.
Abs on the Ball includes exercises for all ability levels that show how to properly use the breath and how to activate the correct muscles during a workout–from the core exercises of the Waterfall, Oblique Curls, and Full Abdominal Curls to the more advanced Side Twist Plank, the Teaser, and Backward Crunch. The author also offers a 10- and 20-minute workout designed not only to build the abdominal core, but also to strengthen and train deep muscles in the back and hip in order to soothe lower back pain and increase overall body strength, balance, and coordination.
