Using the same technology that made their Pilates Complete for Every Body (VL-7/03), Yoga for Inflexible People (VL-3/03), and Power Yoga for Every Body (VL-12/03) so valuable, Body Wisdom Media's Ultimate Body: Beginning Workouts for Weight Loss features three main routines: cardio boot camp, cardio kickboxing, and strength training. Each workout has its own menu of viewing options: upper body, lower body, full workout, ab sculpting, etc.--in effect, providing several workouts (varying in length from 10-45 minutes) on one disc. The presenter, Meghan White, is a certified aerobics instructor and personal trainer, and while she's relentlessly enthusiastic, some viewers may enjoy (or need) such encouragement. Recommended. [Note: a companion DVD, Ultimate Body: Challenging Workouts for Weight Loss (again taught by White), is also newly available at the same price and features over a dozen more metabolism-boosting workouts aimed at intermediate and advanced fitness enthusiasts.] Aud: P.
