An Old-But-Great Workout

Okay, this morning I did this totally retro strength training DVD, Karen Voight's Great Weighted Workout. It came out way back in the early 90s. It's really long, too-- 85 mins., to be exact. Thanks to the magic of modern technology, however, the DVD can be programmed so that prospective users can divide the routine into shorter segments, which include an upper-body workout, lower-body routine, and abwork. As for equipment, you'll need light weights (I use 2-lb. dumbbells for the upper-body work.), a mat, a body ball (or dumbbell), ankle weights, and a towel for the concluding stretch. The set and the class' outfits are totally outdated and dorky, but if you can look past all that, this is an awesome workout. (Note: Don't let the use of light weights fool ya-- this routine, especially the upper-body part, is a killer!)
