Under Review: Melt It Off!
Although gymnast Mitch Gaylord hasn’t won his four Olympic medals in winter sports, we wanted to keep the spirit of the Olympics going strong this week even in our workout DVD review. If you’ve ever wanted to work out with an Olympian, here’s... Continue reading...

Personal Training with Jackie: Power Circuit Training
January 14, 2010 by Jenn
The last time we reviewed one of Jackie Warner’s DVDs, we gave it four stars. Four stars! We rarely give anything four stars. (To see our fave DVDs, click here.) So we had high hopes for Personal Training with Jackie: Power Circuit Training, especially... Continue reading...
Purchasing Power: Choose the Right Workout DVD
January 7, 2010 by Erin
In my oh-so-humble professional-ish opinion, one of the best ways for fitness newbies and pros alike to spice up a workout is in DVD format. A good workout DVD should be akin to a good fitness class or personal training session: You’ll learn something... Continue reading...

Under Review: Mindy Mylrea’s Workout!
September 17, 2009 by Erin
Mindy Mylrea’s Action Packed/Interval Express workout kicked my butt last year and, in doing so, earned the honor of being our first 5-star rated DVD. It takes a lot to impress the FBGs because we try so many workouts, but Ms. Mindy definitely stands... Continue reading...
