Workout DVDs for Beginners

Prevention: Shortcuts to Big Weight Loss with Chris Freytag

Shortcuts to Big Weight Loss is only one of many workout DVDs in Prevention’s Fitness Systems. This 42 minute DVD takes you through warm-up, three 10-minute light strength training routines—Cardio Sculpt, Pilates Sculpt, and Kickbox Sculpt – as well as a cool-down. For beginners, Freytag breaks down certain exercises, in addition to offering alternative moves.

Our tester said, “The instructor gave wonderful explanations about how each move would challenge my body. Once I completed the DVD I felt tired, but in a good way. In the future I would probably break up the exercises and do one “sculpt” every other day.
