While going to the gym works for some people, there are others it doesn’t really fit into their lives. Given the weather lately — most places but So. Calif– it’s been brutal, nasty weather and definitely not conducive to gym workouts.
What’s a guy or a girl to do when they want and need that workout – if just to blow off the stress of yet another day of SNOW?
DVD workouts are hot on my list because I am easily bored and working out in the gym often means fun times because of the people but equally fighting for parking spaces and wondering about parking tickets. DVD workouts do well for those who are snow-bound or can’t handle the weather-laden trip to a gym or outdoors to do whatever sport or activity they love to do. Because of the variety of workouts that people love to do, I was able to snag a variety

Power Boxing Workout with Marlen Esparza
Learn and get lean from Olympic Boxing Medalist Marlen Esparza and get the best workout you have ever had. It doesn’t require speed– it requires dedication and good form. Love this workout because Esparza has great form and technique to share with guys and girls. This isn’t a sissy workout- it’s a serious workout for those who want to sculpt, burn calories and build endurance!
Power Sculpt works you in 10 minute bites to give you shapely, defined physique in no time. Five 10-minute segments combine yoga, Pilates, strength training, and Core Fusion’s trademark deep-muscle movements for the results you want: lean thighs, a lifted butt, toned arms, and washboard abs. You’ll reduce inches, gain flexibility, and get long, lean, and strong. Requires light hand weights. For those who aren’t proficient in the yoga moves, modify and try to get them close to what they are demonstrating. DO follow the person who is modifying!
Want to be challenged daily? If you are thinking that CrossFit is on your MUST DO list but you aren’t quite ready for that challenge yet, then RIPPED is the perfect workout for guys or girls seeking the ultimate challenge.
Lots of great tutorials to give you tips on the form and how to best perform very section. Make sure you have a towel and water nearby and do modify when you find that you can’t keep up!
See there is something for everyone at every level! Just jump on the Acacia wagon to find some great workouts.
Acacia did furnish me with copies of some of the workouts. Others I purchased! The copies allow me to give you a broader range of workouts but given that I do a number of different things, whether I buy the workout or someone gives me or lends me a copy in no way impacts the way I see the workout. If it’s good, I rate it well. If there are limitations, I note that too.
So dig in and get fit!

The core fusion one looks good. I do think the gym is not the only answer. I like to go because of the steam room, but all of these are good options.
