Body Sculpting Weights® I
The Beginner Workout with Weights
A total body strength training workout that concentrates on shaping your muscles, preventing osteoporosis, and making you look younger, more energetic, and healthy.
Welcome to the Year 2009 where weight training rules. Gone are the days of doggie leg lifts and embarrassing hydrant exercises designed to do nothing but give you "the burn". Burn what?
No more dancing and jazzing around like some disco queen from the 70's. Forget about stepping and kicking -- they'll do nothing for your bones once you've turned 60.
WEIGHTS ARE WHERE IT'S AT.... it's the fastest way to shape up! Not only does it burn fat three times faster than aerobics, it permanently boosts your metabolism helping to burn calories 24-hours-a-day.... not just 30-minutes like an aerobic workout. It will help you to lose weight, then keep you at your desired weight forever.
Weight training shapes your body like nothing else can with results three times faster than any other exercise program you've ever tried. If you've never worked out with weights before, this tape is for you!
In WEIGHTS® I, fitness expert Francesca Gern leads you through the basics of the Body Sculpting™ workout. Her company, Body Sculpting by Exterior Designs, Inc.®, was chosen as one of the top 10 women owned businesses by the National Association of Women Business Owners and Crains Communications. Over 25,000 clients take her Body Sculpting™ classes each year at over 200 locations in Ohio!
This video starts out with a seven-minute stretch. These relaxing ballet/yoga-type stretches are designed to increase flexibility, elongate and streamline the muscles, and prepare your body for the workout. Then, each weight training exercise will be fully explained and demonstrated so you will know exactly what you are doing before you actually perform the exercise. The recommended starting weight is 3 to 5-pound dumbbells (each).
You'll learn how to target those hard-to-firm trouble spots such as the backs of the legs where the thigh meets the buttocks, the undersides of the arms, the sides of the hips, the lower abdominals and more. Over 30 precision weight training exercises will be taught in this one-hour workout video. Even if you have never held a dumbbell before, this user-friendly workout will make your entire body stronger and visibly slimmer - FASTER!
Simple, yet effective moves, steady pace, continuous instruction, and precise cueing make WEIGHTS® I ideal for beginner weight training exercisers. At the same time, intermediate exercisers (perhaps even advanced) can get a good workout by fast forwarding during the instruction segments of each exercise. You can adjust the workout to suit your fitness level by simply increasing or decreasing the weight of the dumbbells you use, or by increasing or decreasing the resting time between sets.
Once you have finished this workout, expect some moderate soreness for one to four days following. Do not work out again until your muscles have fully recovered from the workout. If you have never worked out with weights before, DO NOT use weights for the leg portion of the workout. Follow the instructions given on the video for best results. This workout really WORKS!
The video is in full color, running length one hour, five minutes.
