For all you vidiots out there, I wanted to mention a great new series of videos from Tracie Long Training. You can preview long clips at www.tracielongtraining.com (I bought mine at www.fitnessorganica.com for lower shipping and a 5% off coupon).
These are a new type of strength and cardio training, "functional fitness," which involves lots of dynamic movements and twisting, as well as moves on one foot, in order to engage and work the core at all times. Make no mistake, these are HARD. I'm discovering that although I'm pretty strong, my core and stabilizer muscles need a lot of work. For those up to the challenge. though, this is a fantastic workout. I burned over 400 calories during just the first 40 minutes of Strength in Movement and when I finished I was dripping with sweat. (For comparison purposes, I burn about 330 during 45 minutes of the Firm and 500 during the 78 minutes of Shape it Up).
I highly recommend these tapes!
