Default exercise videos

Went through the collection today of old and newer ones to find ones I want
to keep doing to alternate with running days. I would rather run daily, but
was told not to and I can see why because by the third straight day the legs
are sore. I found my old Jane Fonda stuff and watched it for a laugh. I
don't have enough room to do the dancey kinds of routines (grapevines are
out) and those outfits!!! I remember doing Jane Fonda's aerobics on a 33
1/3 LP along with the book.

Anyway, I found my Susan Powter video (Burn Fat & Get Fit) and did it this
morning and enjoyed it. I also have the beginner's Tae Bo which I am still
working on though it's a bit high impact for my taste. I like variety so
I'm looking for more step aerobics with toning routines to do a decent
45-ish min workout in the morning. I'd like another video or two that is
going to kick my ass. I went to Collage Video but their selection is so
huge I have no idea what's decent and what isn't. I want something
difficult in a fun way (not necessarily complicated).

Videos I'm considering a
Mindy Mylrea's Awesome Intervals
Denise Austin's Ultimate Fat Burner
The Firm's Calorie Killer or Super Cardio

Anyone have these? I'm open to other suggestions.

Jennifer

I don't have either, but it's an interesting choice you've got there.
Super Cardio is an older tape (1999) and is a re-cut of earlier tapes,
while Calorie Killer is recently-released (May '03) and contains all
original routines.

Unless you mean Super CardioSculpt. It really sux that they have two
tapes with such similar names. I have Super CardioSculpt and it is a
killer, as compared to the other routines of theirs I have, at least
as it pertains to cardio. No heavy weights -- it's all movement,
choreography.

I'm looking for more step aerobics with toning routines to do a decent
45-ish min workout in the morning. I'd like another video or two that is

Personally, I'd recommend Super BodySculpt for that spec.

I am a step junkie and for a good workout I love Kristen Kagen's Step This
Way. I bought it at collage video and I love it. It is a very good workout
but not for the beginner. I got a copy of Denise Austin's Ultimate Fat
Burner (on sale or else I wouldn't have purchased a Denise Austin video) and
I was not impressed. Petra Kolber is another good step instructor and she is
a good start for the beginners.

Does it contain enough cardio? Collage has it as part of a 6-video package
($74.95) with Lower Body Sculpt I & II, Super Cardio Sculpt, Cardio Sculpt
Blaster, & Body Sculpt Blaster. I guess that would be plenty of variety and
I'm considering this. Also I was wondering, I have a 7" step. Is that high
enough to take the place of the "fanny lifter"? If not, DH is going to make
me a new one.

Jenn
