Bootylicious

Divas,
I am finally better from my death bed flu, (yeah) and am ready to rock and roll. While I was recuperating from the flu, I could not do a whole lot of anything. So I did what I could do, which was checking out new exercise videos on line. The Hollywood socialite Kim Kardashian, you now the one that is famous for having a big booty and a sex tape has released a video series called “Fit in Your Jeans by Friday”. The titles of these workouts are as follows: Ultimate Butt Body Sculpt, Amazing Abs Body Sculpt and Butt Blasting Cardio Step.

I read the reviews on http://www.amazon.com/ as that seems to be the only place one can purchase these DVDs and they got rave reviews, so me, being a big sucka, I broke down and purchased all 3 of these bad boys, head’s up, they run for around $14.99 a piece. I have to say that I am disappointed in what I have seen so far. Now mind you, I have only completed the Ultimate Butt Body Sculpt, but just from doing it, it didn’t do much for me.

Each work out is broken down into two parts; a 15 minute workout and a 20 minute workout. Each DVD incorporates a Step in the workout, so if your step from when you did Jayne Fonda workouts years ago is being buried under Christmas decorations, winter clothing and God knows what, you may want to dig it out that is if you want to keep your figure looking like Kim’s. (She claims these are the workouts she does to keep her famous booty in shape)

Oh, almost forgot, the workouts are not being lead by Kim, she does not appear to be that coordinated and even stated in one of the workouts that it was only recently that she could jump onto the Step (hmmm) but rather by other exercise professionals such as Jennifer Galardi, well known from the “Crunch” exercise series and Patrick Goudeau who has his own workout DVDs.

Now please don’t get me wrong and think that I am bashing Kim’s efforts, because I am not, I just don’t think that for someone that is at an advanced level of exercise that these may be worth it. But if anyone else gives them a try and feel like adding what I have already said, whether you agree with me or not, I will be happy to listen and you can even post your review on the blog, I won’t delete; scout’s honor (can you see me holding up the “scout” fingers?)

  1. Speaking of DVD's. I have been working out to the Comcast on Demand DVD's. They are great and free. My problem is I am always hurting myself. I have the same problem in the gym with classes sometimes. Maybe I should just chalk it up to getting older? The only machine that doesn't hurt me is the elliptical I love that thing...problem is my gym only has 4 of them and they are almost always occupied.
    My question is...should I let age stop me from doing my high intensity workouts? I am in my mid-forties. What do you think?
