I've long been intrigued about Margaret's stuff. Could y'all please recommend a good starter DVD? I'm really partial to workouts that let me break it down into 15 minutes bites. (Yes, I am a short-attention span exerciser.)

Aunt Famous, I have a few of her DVDs now and so far my favorites are Getting Better and Beauty to the Bone.
Getting Better provides a full body workout which Margaret designed after having foot surgery, so it is all seated or on a mat. It comes in really handy if you've got an injury in your foot or ankle, but even if you don't it's a great workout. It has a warmup, upper body weights done seated or lying face up, a transition between upper and lower body, then lower body and abs on the mat. It ends with a brief stretch. It is a VF classic. Beauty to the Bone has two separate workouts, each composed of the upper body/lower body and abs format. On any of her DVDs you can do a 30 minute workout and split train, or you can do it all, and I often will just do a couple of body parts a day for a quick something after a walk or yoga. I like B2B because one upper body features presses and flyes for chest and the second is pushups based, and it has a lot of variety. B2B has a nice background and Margaret works with a partner. Neither of these is from the leotards and leg warmers era (not that that matters to me - I have the tee shirt from that rock concert). You can get good previews of her workouts at www.bodyelectrictv.com and she has sales often. |
