If you have been following our blog for a while, you may have noted that I am not a fitness buff. I know I need to do it and I think about it all the time. I even do some work out DVD’s a few times, but then forget to do them for a few days, so my momentum is lost. I need a fitness trainer in my house!
Well, Spark People is as close as I am going to get. They are an online community that offers free help in reaching your fitness goals and I am so there! Plus they have been producing wonderful fitness DVD’s through Acacia that offer 3 levels of workouts so you can set your own pace. A new one was released a few weeks ago and with the New Year coming up, its time to get those fitness goals going right now! Check this out –
SparkPeople: TOTAL BODY SCULPTING with Coach Nicole
On DVD November 20, 2012
A total-body workout designed to deliver sculpting and toning for exercisers of all fitness levels, the second DVD workout from America’s #1 online weight-loss and fitness community, SparkPeople: Total Body Sculpting with Coach Nicole debuts on DVD on November 20, 2012 from Acacia. SparkPeople boasts over 9 million monthly unique visitors and 12 million members worldwide. As with last year’s best-selling SparkPeople: 28 Day Boot Camp DVD, SparkPeople’s popular fitness trainer Nicole Nichols created and leads these three heart-pumping interval training workouts. Last year, “Coach Nicole” was also named America’s Top Personal Trainer to Watch and Fan Favorite in a nationwide search by Life Fitness and ACE.
Beloved by SparkPeople members and YouTube viewers alike for her supportive, down-to-earth persona, coupled with her toned, real-person physique and clear cueing, Coach Nicole is the perfect workout buddy. In this all-in-one DVD, she leads three distinct fat-burning cardio and multi-joint strengthening workouts: a ballet-inspired barre routine (using a chair and weights), an equipment-free fat blaster, and a heart-pumping dumbbell workout. Three trainers demonstrate beginner, intermediate, and advanced versions to guide you at your own pace, and an interactive workout calendar helps you get fit fast, and customize your workout program so you sizzle fat and chisel lean muscles on your time. With fun aerobic intervals that boost your calorie burn and full-body toning moves that activate more muscles in less time, you’ll get great results and start feeling fabulous!
The DVD comes from one of the most trusted names in fitness. Millions of people rely on SparkPeople, which was called “The Facebook of Dieting” by Fortune magazine, to help them reach their weight loss and fitness goals. SparkPeople’s flexible, fun, ultra-positive approach to weight loss and fitness has vaulted it past Weight Watchers as the largest website in its category. More than 200,000 new members join every month.
An ACE-certified personal trainer and AFAA-certified exercise instructor with a degree in health education, Nicole Nichols helps people of all skill levels make fitness a fun part of their daily lives. She is an editor and fitness expert at SparkPeople.com, and one of the most watched exercise instructors on YouTube. Her online workout videos have been viewed more than 20 million times.
My Thoughts:
I really enjoy the Acacia products because they are made for people at all levels of fitness. This one is no different. Coach Nicole is a calm leader and I appreciate the quiet concise direction and the fact there are three efficient interval workouts. I also like that I can also see 3 different people doing the workout so I can choose to follow the one I feel most comfortable with.
The nice thing about this DVD is that you can do the workouts with just a few items that you probably already have: light hand weights, a mat, and a chair. You choose what you want to work on each time and work at your own pace. This girl needs that!
Spark People have included access to their free meal plans and their online workout club which I have joined so that I can stay more motivated. I need to do this and I think this is one DVD that I have enjoyed quite a bit.
