The best weight training videos for women should include safe and effective exercises, aimed at increasing strength and tone throughout your body. Other important factors are the time constraints, variety of the program, and the "extras" that are included in the program. Here are the videos that meet those criteria and that if followed, consistently and accurately, will give you the results you are looking for.
The P90X Program
The P90X program uses "muscle confusion" to continuously change up the overload on your muscles. This principle is a key part of the video program. Each day the style of workout changes, including strength, power, Pilates, yoga and stretching. The equipment needed for the program is minimal and price-friendly. A diet plan is also included in the program, which should be a good part of any weight management program. Reviews indicate excellent results from the program, including increased muscle tone, strength and weight loss.
Kathy Smith Timesaver: Lift Weights to Lose Weight Volume 2
This video varies the workouts and includes Pilates and yoga. The program is easy to follow, allowing you to understand the concepts and processes more fully. It moves quickly and you will find that you can get a hard workout in a relatively quick period of time. Small pieces of equipment such as dumbbells are required and would need to be purchased separately. The program does not include a diet plan.
Joyce Vedral: Slow-Duet-Slow Moves for a Fast Shape-up in Minutes a Day
Joyce Vedral has a number of effective videos for purchase. This video uses alternating sets on more than one muscle group at a time, at a slow pace. Once you have completed the slow repetition on both alternating exercises you move on to the next pair. You will only perform one set per exercise, as time under tension is the key to overload in this video. This intense workout will get you in shape in a minimal amount of time. This routine is a good contrast to your regular routine and combining it with typical weight lifting will help you move past a plateau. You will need a set of dumbbells for this program.
