Fitness Friday #3: DVD Review

Source: movies.netflix.com via Tiffany on Pinterest

I will admit that I have not tried the whole DVD, I could barely get to the 2nd level. Not because the workout was too difficult, but because I couldn't handle how off the contestants were. I like the idea of making a Biggest Loser workout DVD with former contests/winners, but they are not professionals and they don't always have the correct form and they do not stay together. The workout itself was pretty good, a good amount of cardio with some hand weights, but it wasn't really my style (I felt like it was too easy aside from all the quad work) and it really drove me crazy that the contestants were so off, which was partly because Trainer Bob wasn't really cueing them and keeping them together. Overall I used this DVD 2 or 3 times and will not do it again.

What I'm Reading...

Something to know about me: I LOVE reading! Ever since I can remember I have loved reading and constantly have my nose in a book! I remember when school was out for the summer I would go to the library and bring home a huge stack of books (even in elementary school). I will also admit that I have a guilty pleasure for young adult books, especially if they are about sci-fi/fantasy ones! I am currently reading Rachel Caine's Kiss of Death (cheesy title and even cheesier book series, but I feel like since I'm onto book 9 I should just finish the series!) and the book waiting to be read next is Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why which sounds like it will be really good!

The last two books I read (both were amazing!) were Anna Godberson's Splendor (the last in the series) and Cassandra Clare's Clockwork Angel (I can't wait for the sequel!).
