11.Weight Watchers: Healthy Back & Waist starring: Weight Watchers January 04, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.19
I have had this video for about 5 years now and I still go back to it after trying many of the NEW and IMPROVED workouts. When it comes to aerobics or dance I not only have 2 left feet, I can't coordinate my upper and lower body movements. Additionally, I have low back pain, a bad knee and am WAY out of shape. But this video I was able to pick up right away. It is low-impact, yet can be made more strenuous with higher leg lifts, weights and faster or more repetitions. This is a video my preteens can do as well. I do have a bad back and flimsy abs so this is a good workout for me. Some days when my back pain has flared up I do not do the floor exercises and may repeat the standing portion. This workout has music that is not over-powering REAL instructors who ... Read More

12.Yoga Zone: Yoga for Weight Loss starring: Various Artists June 27, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.46
This moved way too fast for a beginner who knows virtually nothing about yoga. I completely disagree with another reviewer who said the instructor took time to fully explain the poses. Using the warrior pose as an example, I heard nothing about the correct positioning of the feet and would have done it wrong if it hadn't been for ALan Finger explaining the form correctly on another DVD. Strangely, the woman who was doing the more advanced version of the exercises appeared...failing a politically correct way to say this and coming from someone who does NOT enjoy looking at supermodels in a workout, heavy-set and undefined enough to make me take notice, - an oddly unmotivating choice for a DVD supposedly focused on weight loss. Other issues - there was a great deal of bending forward which ... Read More

13.Pumping Iron starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, Matty Ferrigno, Victoria Ferrigno, Mike Katz directed by: George Butler, Robert Fiore March 25, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.26
just s bunch of cheating, juiced up, meatheads lifting weights and talking about it. I could go to a Golds Gym and get the same experience.

14.Betty Crocker: Exercise and Lose Weight : Low-Impact Aerobics starring: Anne Barney November 15, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99

15.Walk Off Weight System: Weight Loss Walk starring: Leslie Sansone November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
THis is a good video for people who like to walk but the weather won't permit. No high impact on the knees either.

16.Shaping Up with Weights for Dummies starring: For Dummies November 14, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.23
Although I generally don't like thinking of myself as a "dummy," I take good information from wherever I can get it. This regimen depicts step-by-step instructions for 12 weight training exercises. The instructor, Tracy York, is no dummy, and makes the work out easy to understand, without talking down. The video incorporates both upper and lower body exercises to help tone muscles and burn more calories per day - which can lead to weight loss. Don't be surprised if you gain weight. Fat weighs less than muscle, and you will be adding muscle. The instructions on this video include resistance exercises. These have been shown to increase bone density and stimulate the metabolism. Another benefit can be more muscle mass. Shaping Up with Weights for Dummies introduces the basics of weight training ... Read More

17.Cory Everson's Basic Sculpting System with Weights: Abs, Back, Biceps starring: Cory Everson September 19, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.83
The only reason this video didn't get 5 stars is the pull-up bar exercise that most home exercisers don't have. Other than that, it's really good. Cory does 3 or 4 exercises for each body part, with 2 sets of 12 reps each. Regarding the review above, there is no need to pause the tape and do more reps because you are supposed to choose a heavy enough weight that you will not be able to do more than 12 reps. However, if you felt ambitious and wanted to do a third set you would need to pause (but I doubt you'll have the energy). The entire sculpting series is excellent- her chest, shoulders, and triceps being the best.

18.Kathy Smith - Weight Loss Workout starring: Kathy Smith November 03, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
I first bought this on VHS in about 1990. I really love it. I always have and even now that I am getting back into shape and am nearly 20 years older, it's still a challenging video. I like that the video actually works out almost all parts of the body while dancing on your feet. If you don't like it because of the music, sets, costumes, you need a) accept it for what it is and b) look at the exercise value. I find it entertaining and nostalgic. I will admit, I am a child of the 1980s and still love the music. I never had mall hair, though.

19.Bellydance Fitness for Weight Loss featuring Rania: Pure Sweat starring: Rania Bossonis November 05, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.79
Not only did I not sweat, but my heart beat didn't really raise any. I will grant that I work out a lot. This is probably a good workout if you're really out of shape. A total beginner might get a workout, but if your already work out regularly, keep your money and invest elsewhere. (The Cardio Shimmy from the same series is actually pretty good.) Also, the music is indescribably awful.
