This is supposed to be a great workout and Kelly Ripa's body is the confirmation...I am a big fan of Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds series and have a couple of her other DVD's -"Walk Jog" and "Walk Strong" - both excellent workouts - the Walk Strong uses weights while you move so you are using multiple muscles. I also have a Pilates machine from QVC that I HIGHLY recommend to get in shape fast - it works! Also Denise Austin Yoga is excellent to lose weight fast too...I love working out at home even though I do the elliptical at the gym occasionally...I have all I need at home. Another great DVD set to try is Mari Winsor's Pilates system - this is really efficient and works fast too if you stick with it. All programs WILL work if you stick with them religiously...just watch what you eat. Good luck!!!

After just a few sessions with my Mii trainer, I began to see results from the Wii Active game. I know, I know, how can a game bring the player results? Well, the customizable workouts are intense and work all the muscle groups with a variety of exercises. Downhill inline skating works the thighs; boxing works the back and arms, squating, well we all know what squating does. The personal trainer guides you; knows when you're squatting too low; knows when you're really working hard; and provides encouragement at just the right times. Anyways, if you have the Wii, it's worth the $55 investment.
