I just completed Marisa Tomei’s Core & Curves workout DVD and found it … appropriate for “some”. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t blown away by it and at some points I found it quite dull, but I like fitness fast and fun; this DVD had no chance with me. Having said that, I do believe it would be an appropriate workout for certain types of people! The workout is mild with some moderately challenging moves thrown in on occasion, the jazzy background music is kind of mellow and the instructor’s style is super sleepy. I think I know a few folks who would love it though.
Are you someone who’s interested in a smooth yoga/pilates style training session with zero bouncing and zero noise from an energetic instructor? If so … this video with three short training segments (Body Definition, Best Legs Workout, and Ten Moves in Ten), which can be done together or on their own may be a perfect fit. It’s the sort of workout that will help a beginner gain strength and stability; not the type of workout that will melt away pounds. Oh yeah! The other reason for purchasing this workout DVD is to spend time with Marisa Tomei – she’s in the whole thing.
Core & Curves is available online (www.gaiam.com and www.amazon.com) and in stores wherever DVDs are sold. SRP $14.98
