Top 5 Exercise DVDs to Turn Your Home Theater into a Home Gym

Ahh yes… Exercising. Quite a taxing task, especially since it takes a lot of heart, dedication, and commitment to truly get the desired results. It may seem hard, but as we've mentioned before, music can definitely help in maintaining focus and drive when working out. That said, however, it's even nicer to have your own personal trainer to help you do the right workouts, keep you motivated, and make sure you're right on track. That can be quite expensive, though. But if you have your own home theater system, (if you don't have one, we highly recommend checking out Denon's home theater system packages) you can easily transform your living room into a workout area, complete with personal trainer, by popping in a very good, tried and tested workout DVD! With your 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, even 9.1 speaker system, and large TV, you'll definitely hear every command, every motivational and inspirational speech, and every beat of the intense music, all pushing you to succeed.





Now, there are a lot out there to choose from, and to be honest, it can be quite daunting and confusing trying to choose which one is the best. And while we are not a health and fitness authority, we can recommend our top 5 picks for workout DVDs, based on the intensity, energy, and overall entertainment ('coz let's face it, a boring workout DVD is an ineffective workout DVD), which could definitely help in burning calories, shedding fat, and losing weight and inches! Just be sure to set aside any fragile furniture beforehand.



30-day Shred with Jillian Michaels � First, it's Jillian Michaels, famed trainer in The Biggest Loser. Then, there's 30 days, which is a very short period of time. And finally, there's Shred, and when the word Shred is used in describing weightloss, you can't help but notice. It's not all hype and wordplay, however, as this workout DVD really does what it says on the box. Inside are fast-paced, high-intensity workouts that help "shred" fat and sculpt muscle. But don't let the words intimidate you, because the DVD can be used by beginners, starting with its intermediate level, all the way up to the advanced programs! And it's not just some gimmicky set of workout routines too, because each workout has three "cycles" that each focus on specific fields, making sure that a full body workout is experienced.



Insanity: 60 day � Total Body Conditioning Program � If there's one word to describe this workout DVD, it's, well, you guessed it, "cool". Just kidding. Insanity is definitely what you might think about when you get to watch this workout DVD. But not just because it's hard, but because within the specified 60 days, you'll definitely feel something change. It is said "Insanity" is only for a chosen few, but if you really want to lose the pounds, wouldn't you want to be included as part of that chosen few? With 10 insane workouts, supplemented by equally intense audio, you'll definitely lose your excess weight, hopefully without losing your sanity!



Fat-Burning Kickboxing Workout for Dummies � Well, this doesn't sound too intimidating, right? It's a sissy workout routine that won't be hard, yes? Well, think again. While it may be designed "for dummies", the Fat-Burning Kickboxing Workout for Dummies only makes it easy to maximize the fat burning and weightloss potential of kickboxing, but it doesn't make it any less intense. What's good about this DVD is that it helps people understand the key elements in kickboxing, not just as a workout activity, but also as a sport. It also guides viewers from basic kickboxing routines, to advanced sets of moves that get more strenuous as the workout progresses. It may be made for dummies, but it ain't easy. It will work though, and if you're up for losing weight, this DVD is definitely for you.



10 Minute Solution: Rapid Results Pilates � We've heard "Pilates" thrown around a lot, especially when watching Hollywood gossip shows featuring the workouts of the Stars. What most people don't know, however, is while Pilates works wonders, one of the reasons why majority of people who truly benefit from it are stars, is because it can take a lot of time per day to truly get results, time most average folks don't have. The solution? Well, a 10-minute solution! So how is this different from other Pilates DVDs or workouts? Well, for one… It's really fast. All the effective methods in Pilates are compressed to 10 minutes. And while that may be the minimum amount of time needed to fully utilize this workout, eventually after using it for a few times, you'll be getting enough energy and strength to -want- to do it for more than 10 minutes!



Aerospace: Savage & Serene � As the name suggests, it is a combination of subtle workouts like yoga and pilates, called YoAero-Serene, and intense strength, core, and balance training routines, called Aerobox Savage. Don't let the name fool you though. This workout is -intense-, high-speed, and truly energetic, and have, in fact, made a lot of people who tried think about quitting due to the amount of energy needed. The people who didn't give up, however, experienced tremendous results, especially once the body began getting used to the high-energy workouts, and began to burn fat and calories on its own, even when just standing still! With your home-theater system properly calibrated, your living room set, and your body ready, using Aerospace: Savage & Serene will make your physique ready for anything, which is why we are recommending it as our #1 pick!
