In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Many online sites, magazines or books offer reviews by a fitness expert or a number of other consumers. Reading over a few of these reviews may clue you in on the quality of the DVD you're interested in. Pay attention to both positive and negative reviews. Try to understand why the user did or didn't like the DVD - did it promise something that wasn't achievable? Were the workouts described appropriately? Were the workouts easy to follow? They may point out aspects of the DVD that will prompt you to purchase it or not. Consider what your current fitness level is - are you a beginner? Or are you a well-seasoned exerciser? This information will help you decide which exercise DVDs are appropriate for you level. Read reviews or descriptions on the DVD to find out what fitness level is required. Most DVDs will provide some information regarding the types of exercises performed in the routines and how fit you need to be to complete them. Also think about your goals. Some DVDs have both beginner, intermediate and advanced programs included. Even if you start at the beginner level, you may be able to move up to more advanced routines as your fitness level improves. A variety of online sites offer fitness DVD rentals. In addition, you may be able to borrow some DVDs from your local library. This may be a good option before committing to a DVD and purchasing it. You'll be able to try out a variety of programs, trainers and types of exercises before spending your money on something you may not like. Consider the length of the routines. Depending on your time, you may want to have a variety of length options to fit into your schedule. Look for DVDs that offer quick workouts in addition to full length workouts. You may start out with just 1 DVD. However, you may get bored with those routines, so having a few more DVDs to keep things interesting may help keep you motivated long-term. Watching free videos online is another alternative to purchasing DVDs. Many fitness sites offer short, free videos to follow along with at home. It's the combination of both types of physical activity that produces the best results and will help maximize your weight loss. This may also help cut down on cost of multiple DVDs and save you time from doing multiple workouts. If you're lacking on time try routines that do both cardio and strength training at the same time. Or, just go for cardio as this burns the most calories per minute compared to strength training. Like many nutrition, diet and fitness products, not all exercise DVDs deliver what they promise. Be wary of programs that look too good to be true. Any program that promises large quantities of weight loss in a short amount of time is most likely not safe and is most likely not promoting accurate or reliable information. The best weight loss occurs in small amounts of longer periods of time. Also be aware of exercise programs that promise you significant increases in fitness levels or muscle mass in just a short amount of time or in few minute increments. Again, it takes time, energy and patience to increase your aerobic fitness levels and to increase muscle mass.
Summary: Read user reviews. Rate your current fitness level. Rent or borrow DVDs. Choose a DVD that incorporates both aerobic and strength training exercises. Avoid gimmicks and "quick fix" programs.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It's not what you want to hear, but it has to be said. While you can tone up those thighs and hips of yours, that fat will still be there. So doing leg lift after leg lift won't get you the results you want -- it has to be a combination of diet, fat burning, and toning. We wish it weren't so, but it is! Everybody's body is a bit different. Some start losing fat on top, some on bottom, some on their core, some on their extremities. In other words, this may take some patience. You may see your stomach shrinking before your thighs. If that becomes the case, relax and take a breath. You're on the right track. . This is goal one. To get to those svelte thighs of yours underneath those saddlebags, that fat needs to be blasted away. The most efficient way of doing that? Cardio. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. 4 or 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes is ideal, but it can be broken up into smaller bits, too. Cardio takes on dozens of different forms, not just running! You can get on the elliptical, go for a bike ride, walk, swim, box, play tennis, heck, even go dancing! As long as your heart gets pumping, it's good. If long workouts aren't your thing, take solace in high-intensity interval training. It actually has shown to burn more calories in a shorter amount of time. So take 15 minutes on the treadmill (or wherever) alternating between walking and sprinting. Your heart will even keep pumping afterward, burning calories by itself! . Once you get rid of the fat, you gotta work on what's underneath it -- or you'll just end up with that unfortunate "skinny fat" look. So after, before, or at a completely different time than your cardio, start pumping that iron. If dumbbells aren't your cup o' tea, you can use your own body to strengthen and tone itself. Planks, squats, lunges, burpees -- they'll all start firming you up. And then there's pilates and yoga -- awesome activities that will show results, too! eep it spicy. This whole workout thing gets pretty boring if you don't mix it up. And doing the same thing over and over might get you results initially, but then they stop and you end up just running around in circles, getting nowhere. To beat the body plateau and the mind numb, start cross training. In other words, do a whole bunch of different stuff! It's the best way to stay motivated, too. So take a break from the gym and hit the pool. Switch up your treadmill for the elliptical. Go on a hike, play tennis, or go rock climbing. Take a free trial class at a pilates studio, try hot yoga, or sign up for Zumba. The options are endless! Even though your schedule may only allow for an hour or so at the gym, that doesn't mean you can't find little opportunities throughout the day to get active. You'd be surprised how many calories you can burn doing a few yoga stances while you watch TV! Little things do add up. So start parking far away at work, taking the stairs, walking the dog the long way around the block, giving the house a good scrub down, and dancing while you get ready. Still skeptical? The Mayo Clinic team has said that the calories burned in everyday life are more important than they ever realized. They're people to trust!
Summary:
Know that you can't really spot reduce. First, burn away the fat Then, build muscle . Turn anything into activity.
