Favorite dvd WARM-UPS and COOL-DOWNS

alisoncooks · 07-13-12, 04:16 PM

What are your favorite dvd warm-ups and cool-downs? The ones you sometimes pull-out to use before/after other workouts...or you hold onto that dvd just for that one lil' part...

For me...
WARM-UP ~ ?? I haven't really come across a dvd warm-up I love. I did like the one from Stephanie Huckabee's Punch! workout. I like the warm-up on Muscle Max.

COOL-DOWN ~ I really enjoy the cool-down/stretch from Ruah Warrior

I always liked Cathe's warmup. I used to think I would be happy if she would release a DVD of just her warmups. Her cool downs were pretty good also.

The only ones that stick out for me are cool downs. I really really like the cool down from Stephanie Vitorino's Ultimate Body Shaper, and the cool down from Firm Express Cardio has always been a favorite of mine.

Exactly my thoughts on the warmups -- especially the Gym Styles. I keep wishing I could figure out how to put just those parts onto one DVD. That would be my ideal low impact cardio workout! Cool downs, I always improvise and do my own.

I love Cathe's warm ups, too, especially the one from Crossfire. The best warm ups in the world for me are Horizontal Conditioning. It is a mini workout in itself. I always find myself saying, so is this still the warm up. LOL. My favorite cool down is from Fierce Force. It just feels good.

I've always loved the warm-up on Firm Cadio Split 1 with Jen Carmen. Something about the music makes me want to get moving.

I hardly ever do cooldowns, I know that is bad, but I am impatient. The warm-ups that I remember liking the most are from Cathe, KCM, and CLX or TF. If I am looking for a more relaxed warm-up then Margaret Richard is good.

I think my favorite warm-up is from Cathe's Intensity dvd. My favorite cool-down stretch is probably from Cathes Legs & Glutes. I also keep her High Step Challenge just because I like the abs &stretch on that one. I can't rememberthe last time I've done any of the other parts of that dvd.

As others have said, I would also like a dvd with a bunch of Cathes warm-ups for a lighter cardio day.

I wish I could figure out how to do that myself.

I love the warm-up and cool-down (stretch) from Cathe's Turbo Barre.
