Exercise DVDs are an affordable and convenient way to try out a variety of fitness options, ranging from yoga to dance workouts. Many workout DVDs are designed for women, and you can find a video that suits your personal fitness needs, whether you're just trying to get in shape or you're looking for something to spice up an established routine.
Cardio Burn
If you're looking to lose weight or see big changes in a short time, challenging cardio or body sculpting routines are ideal. Jillian Michaels, of TV's The Biggest Loser, has produced several videos, including the popular 30-Day Shred, recommended by Woman's Day magazine. Blow off some steam with Keli Roberts' Fat-Burning Kickboxing Workout for Dummies. While this is a tough workout, beginner tips help make it easy to follow, according to Fitness Magazine. Denise Austin's Boot Camp Total Body Blast! is a good choice for women looking to trim and tone with a challenging shorter workout.
Relax and Rejuvenate
Yoga, pilates and other gentle forms of fitness can leave you feeling refreshed while toning your muscles and improving your flexibility. Fitness Magazine suggests the Pilates Core Challenge for both beginners and intermediate pilates students looking for a home mat workout. The Exhale: Core Fusion DVDs offer gentle, Pilates-inspired body sculpting for women. If you're looking for a DVD to help your home yoga practice, Shiva Rea's yoga DVDs offer a variety of options.
Weights and More
If you want to add variety to your workout, DVDs using weights, stability balls or kettlebells can help you tone up at home. Jari Love's videos, including Get Ripped 1,000 with Jari Love use 10-to-15-pound dumbbells. Keli Roberts' Time Saver Workouts: A.S.A.P. Abdominals, Spine, and Posture is recommended by Fitness Magazine as the best stability ball workout. Many other videos, particularly boot camp type women's fitness DVDs integrate 3-to-5-pound hand weights to give you better results in less time. Adding equipment to your exercise routine can help to vary it and keep it interesting, even if you typically use workout DVDs at home.
