I've had a couple people asking about different workouts. So here is a little blip about my favorites or the ones that have impressed me the most.
Beginner – Intermediate
Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred – is a great beginner workout. Very basic, easy to understand, no coordination needed. It’s set up as a 30 day straight circuit training workout, and runs about 30 minutes. Strength, cardio, abs. Really good starter workout, you will hurt. But after 1 or 2 months I got bored with it. And was ready to move on to something else.
Turbo Jam – Love this workout! It’s kickboxing and dancing rolled up in one. Fun music, cool moves. And there are lots of different Turbo Jam workouts – so you’re able to mix it up. To see a video on what the workout is like check out
www.kellysbelly.comPower 90 – Good workout, very straight forward. Fat burning and total-body sculpting focused on abs, thighs, and upper body. This was actually the first workout DVD I bought almost 10 years ago. To see a video on what the workout is like check out
www.kellysbelly.comChaLEAN Extreme – This one I haven’t done, but I know people who have and I’m crazy impressed with it. I think this one can take you from beginner to a strong intermediate. You burn fat, build lean muscle. It’s a fact: The more lean muscle you have, the more fat you burn. You can lose up to 60% of your body fat in just 3 months To see a video on what the workout is like check out

Turbo Fire – From the same creator as Turbo Jam. This is less dancy, and will push you much harder. This actually can be used as a starter program too, they have a modifier in all the DVD’s to start someone out with until they are ready to move to the advanced moves. You can burn up to 9x more fat than with regular cardio doing TurboFire. Featuring High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), these 12 workout classes make you sweat with the hottest music and moves. (I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m thinking this will be the next one I try after my half marathon – it looks so cool!) To see a video on what the workout is like check out
www.kellysbelly.comInsanity – OMG! This workout is not for everyone! It is so hard! It will push you harder than you thought possible. And you will see results if you are willing to push through it! Almost every day while doing the workout I would say to myself… WHY AM I DOING THIS? But then you see the results and see how much better you get and you know why. For me it’s a love hate relationship. To see a video on what the workout is like check out
www.kellysbelly.comP90X – this is an extreme home fitness training system that contains 12 sweat-inducing, muscle-pumping workout DVDs, designed to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days. I haven’t tried this one yet. I should have more to say on it soon. My husband is planning on doing it. To see a video on what the workout is like check out
www.kellysbelly.com*Lots of beginners do use the intermediate – advanced workouts, they just modify them and do what they can until they can do the full version.
