Upper/lower body splits workout incorporating use of a BOSU
927528
This is an older DVD by fitness instructor Tracey Staehle.  It offers three main workouts:  Strictly Upper Body, a 45-minute upper body routine; Glute Camp, a 45-minute lower body routine; and Total Body, a 30-minute routine incorporating both Pilates and yoga.  There are also four premixes (described below).

Staehle teaches live with three background exercises.  For the upper and lower body workouts, Staehle makes use of a BOSU balance trainer, but the modifications for using a step bench are shown.  Other equipment used in these routines includes dumbbells, a mat, a loop-style resistance band, and a medicine ball.

The Main Menu of the DVD lists the three workouts, each with its own drop-down submenu as follows:

STRICTLY UPPER BODY:  Warm-Up - Workout - Abs Workout - Cool Down
GLUTE CAMP:  Warm-Up - Standing Workout - Floor Workout - Abs Workout - Cool Down
TOTAL BODY:  Warm-Up - Workout - Pilates - Yoga

There is also a link to the four Premixes, which appear on a separate menu as follows:
1.  Bootcamp Circuit, 1 hour
2.  Pilates/Abs/Yoga/Stretch, 30 minutes
3.  Upper & Lower Body - On the Floor, 54 minutes
4.  All BOSU/Balance Mix, 48 minutes

The exercises in these routines were nothing new.  Staehle includes various rows, biceps curls, push-ups and the like for upper body, and the lower body routine features squats, lunges (many variations), deadlifts, and floor.  Use of the BOSU does make things more interesting, as Staehle incorporates balance work; she also frequently changes up the tempo.  Staehle does not instruct the Pilates and yoga segments herself--these are taught by two of her background exercisers (Jackie and Barbie, respectively), both of whom lack Staehle's polish.

This DVD would like be a good choice for those looking for more ways to include the BOSU trainer into their workouts; for that purpose in particular, Staehle offers some nice options here.

This is a very nice intro to the sport.  It is great for aerobic exercise and gives the upper body a  good work out.

How to use these rattan ring exercises to improve your coordination.
From a Bio Mechanical perspective, this hoop provides a wide variety of arm motions, circling, retracting, extending.
Here is a list of exercise motions presented in this book for use with the hoop?

1. Ring vertical, with the loop or hole side to side, allowing left arm to enter from left and right arm from right.
Arms rolling over the top.
Arms rolling under the bottom.
Arms chambered (recoiled) to one side, then bock to the other side, then recoil to chambered position before re-extending to block.

2. Ring vertical, with Loop or hole front to back, allowing the arms to enter from the back.
Arms making half circles. Similar to steering a car.
Arms crossing then rolling down and back toward the body, then up and out away from the body.
Arms chambered retracted close to body, then extend straight forward away from the body.
Arms (both) holding same level block, while pivoting / turning left and right.
Arms (both) moving vertically up and down, while changing from low to middle block.

3. Ring Horizontal, with loop or hole top to bottom, allowing the arms to cross under and enter from the bottom.
Arms crossing and gripping opposite side of ring (palms face downward), in a isometric push, pull exercise.

There are some other interesting things after that. However, the best part is the ring exercises.
I noticed other reviewers commenting about picture quality, size, contrast etc. Basically there are many stop motion pictures to show each transition thoroughly, which we could see better in a full size book, rather than the pamphlet size print.
For content and value / benefit from these ring exercises, I have to give the instructor a 5 star rating.

Technical Note: Techniques are referred to by Chinese name. Please keep in mind, that when Wing Chun is referring a single technique it has the typical name.
Example:
Tan Sau = Palm up block / Mid level forearm block.
Gahn Sau = Low outward block
Bong Sau = Wing block, this is used high, mid and low level, either toward the outside (normal) or cross body (odd and takes some getting used to).
However, the nature of this ring, requires us to use both arms simultaneously. When Wing Chun uses two of these techniques at the same time, the name changes.
Example:
Kwan Sau = Tan Sau (middle block) in the cross body, while the other arm Low block (Gahn sau or Bong sau) to the same side of body.
Loy Kwan Sau or Seung Ghan Sau = Tan Sau (middle block) same side of body, while the other arm Low block (Gahn sau or Bong sau) cross body block. This is the odd part. If you keep the arms in the same technique, at the same level, and only pivot on your feet, turning your body, which moves your arms from the right to the left, the name changes to Loy Kwan Sau.

Purchased this PR1000 to replace an older Bowflex.  Pr1000 stated to do leg exercises, but the leg attachment is only used for one exercise. No leg curl?  Sorry I purchased this equipment.  Probably ok for upper body, which I will use, but I want to work my legs too.  A step backward for Bowflex.

Great video, can use if beginner or advanced.  You can select either upper or lower body or all.  Newer exercises and a lot of plank/jumping aero style exercises but very safe on the body.  I love her.

This is an excellent machine, more for the upper body than the lower body but it makes exercise more fun!
I actually saw results in the arm muscles and I use it only about twice a week for about 10 min or less.  It is affordable and easy to assemble.  Highly recommended!

I bought this for me to exercise with. It works very well.
I had bought one for my Saint Bernard earlier and realized how great this would work to exercise the upper body.

This is a solid workout for toning, lengthening, and balancing. It's fun and not too long.  It's essentially a basic barre class with some pilates at the end.  I did it for the first time yesterday and am really feeling it today - it's hard to sit down, but in a good way.  I know if I keep at it it will make a difference in my body!  My only dissapointment is that I did not break much of a sweat.  Would be great after a two mile run.

This is a nice piece of equipment you can use at home to mainly exercise the chest, front shoulder, and back of the arms. So why not just do regular push-ups and save your hard-earned money?  Well, this piece of equipment is vastly superior to regular floor push-ups, simply because it allows your trunk to lower down to the floor more- which increases the range of motion and makes the exercise harder. Therefore, the above muscles are exercised more thoroughly thru a greater range and it makes the push-up a much more productive exercise.

The other big advantage, is that they are padded, which makes doing push-ups a whole lot easier on your hands and wrists than without these handles. And the more comfortable your hands are, the more push-ups you (might) be able to do- hard to concentrate on the exercise when hand and wrist discomfort are distracting you...

Know too that once you can do 20 reps in a row with the push-up handles, you will not get these muscles any stronger using this piece of equipment. That's because anything over 20 reps of an exercise will build primarily muscular endurance, and not strength. Thus, you can strengthen the above named muscles only so much- since this exercise equipment is unable to provide progressive resistance (unlike a weight machine or dumbbell where you can keep adding a little more weight now and then which challenges the muscle and makes it grow bigger and stronger). Of course you can stack something on your back or have a small child sit on your or something...

All-in-all, these push-up handles are good to use for moderate strengthening and to maintain a certain level of fitness. Give them a try if you like doing push-ups.  They fit neatly away under your bed, and you can even take them with you on trips if you wanted to.  And if shoulder problems keep you from doing push-ups, you might want to check out&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Treat-Your-Own-Rotator-Cuff/dp/1598582062/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff</a>.

Workout time: 48:01
Equipment: 5, 8, 10, 12 & 15 lb. dumbbells, mat, stretch band
Muscle meltdown: Shoulders
Blizzard:  More of weighted exercises with cardio blasts.  In a word, ouch!  Doing a 1 legged burpee says it all.
Outfits:  blue tops with black or black/blue bottoms

This workout consists of bodyweight or weighted exercises, followed by a cardio blast.  This one felt to be more intermediate level than the other ICE workouts.  Perhaps thats because my legs are so strong.  Amanda did several modifications in this workout.

In spite of feeling intermediate, my heart rate got up there.  At the end of the workout I felt worked out, yet energized.

Some of the fun, new moves in this workout include:  lunge front and back with no weights, high rep lunge leg taps, sumo lunge jumps, lift squat abduction and lunge with figure 8 arms.  I really felt my leg muscles burn with all of the moves.

This is an excellent work-out.  My husband is even doing it w/ me!  Our legs hurt afterwards.  We use kitchen chairs to act as a ballet bar while we do this in our living room.  We will have legs of steel soon!

Excellent workout for lower body.  Not much for upper body.  Some Yoga moves are hard to adjust to. Definitely a young persons workout.

Discover Tai Chi for Weight Loss was my first-ever experience with Tai Chi, and I enjoyed it more than I had anticipated.  Instructor Scott Cole describes it as an "interval-type workout," which means that you alternate between slowly flowing through the movements to performing them at a more upbeat tempo.  The workout begins inside a large, airy studio, and Scott starts with an 8-minute warm-up consisting of gentle arm and leg motions.  One frequently-used transition move is called monkey-bear, which basically means swinging your arms in front of you as you lightly move from side to side.  Following the warm-up, Scott moves into a 21-minute segment of what he says are traditional Tai Chi postures.  Unlike in yoga, these postures are dynamic and consist of simple movements linked in a flow.  Scott introduces each posture first at a slow pace, then speeding it up to tempo, a pace that is brisk but still easy to follow.  The movements range from a basic "Brush Push"--pushing one arm forward while sliding the other backward--to slightly more strenuous Tai Chi kicks.  During this section, I could definitely feel my heart rate increasing, although this was not a steady effect given the variable pace of the workout.

Once you have learned all of the postures, Scott moves to an outdoor setting, where he combines all of the movements together in a continuous flow.  He repeats the entire series of movements twice:  the first time, he cues the movements via voiceover instruction, but the second time, there is no cueing whatsoever.  Because the postures were so simple and straightforward, I found that I was able to follow along even without the cues, although I did have to keep a close eye on the TV in order to keep up with the transitions from one movement to the next.  Following the flow segment (about 13 minutes), Scott returns to the indoor studio for a 6-minute cool-down and stretch; he also includes some work on body acceptance in this segment.  The total time for this workout was 48 minutes.  Overall, I found this video to be an enjoyable introduction to Tai Chi that provided me with a good, light cardio workout.  I think that this workout would be well-suited to beginning exercisers who are looking for a gentle, low-impact exercise program or more experienced exercisers who enjoy doing a lighter, relaxing workout now and then.

It was in great condition. It shipped quickly. One of my favorite lower body exercise DVD. The moves are great for beginners and I have already muscular arms so I hate exercise DVD's that say full body workout then 98% of the moves are for upper body. This is what it says LOWER body boot camp!

The individual segments do well to work so many muscles in just 10 minutes.  They do this by combining several muscle groups in to one movement, like bicep curls combined with lunges.  But also by alternating movements to double the effectiveness, like squat/abduction/squat/abduction.  It is very challenging, and in my opinion it is something to work up to, perhaps not for begninners.  My only gripe is that the mix option allows a max of 3 sections in a row, where as I would prefer to work up to doing 4 or 5.  So to do this, I will set 3, then go back and choose another 2 to finish.

Gets at core muscles I didn't know I had. Use feels challenging but good.  Although the pump is laughably cheap it worked fine for me and I inflated this BOSU very quickly.  However poorly designed inflation port and needle make inflation more difficult than necessary, especially because getting the right amount of inflation is a trial-and-error process.  Cheap pump but crude connectors are main problem. The booklet that comes with this BOSU has almost no actual info about how to use this, so google and check YouTube for how to use.  Simple exercises -- e.g., squats, lunges -- you may already do become a new challenge with new results.

Unless your balance and core are already just super, before you start real exercises on this BOSU take some time/sessions  to just stand on it, move your body around and get used to it.  Music can help a lot.  This size (rather than the larger model) is very appropriate for home use and it's just as useful as the larger versions available at the gym. One star off for awkward inflation fittings and cheap pump.

These are good workouts - challenging and varied with clear instructions. I liked the yoga workout but I found it difficult to spend so much time supporting myself on hands and feet (sometimes only one foot). I am muscular and therefore heavy for my size so I may never be able to do this one well even though I've done other yoga programs in the past. Overall, though, effective workouts. I also like the Brook Benton ab routine that comes with one of the contoured kettlebells.
