Fit Party Reviews/September Surprise-- Free DVD

Would like to thank everyone for the positive feedback from Fit Party DVD. Here is what some of them had to say:

Fit Party Review #1

I wanted to let you know I really enjoy Fit Party. I loved that you included a separate 5 minunte warmup--I have begun to use this as a warmup for my 5 mile walks, & it helps me get "in the groove" a lot quicker. I loved the step workout, I wished it had gone on--I was amazed at how much you packed into 15 minutes-3 combos & you put them together at the end! I also liked the kickbox workout, I could really feel it in my core, & I don't usually feel that with other kickboxing workouts. I have also done the core/abs & part of the yoga/stretch--I like that both of those can be shortened, I get a good abs workout/stretch by just doing the first half of the workout. I did arms once, & I like the variety of weights, etc. I still have to try lower body & do all of the yoga, I really want to do those soon, they look like fun. All in all, another winner workout dvd! Congratulations & thank you! I will look forward to any future workouts you do (I have one suggestion, I know you like to do something different each time you film, I thought maybe an hour long kickboxing workout with some intense intervals. But, of course, I wish for more step, toning, & hi/lo also!)

Review #2

Arrived Fri 14th.Aug. Nice tape, harder than it looked. Like core and yoga sections. Yoga effective as you do two sets of stretches for the most of the routine which allows the muscles to lenghten. Done yoga for over 20yrs. Step effective, short and sweet done at 8ins. kickbox nice low impact section. Weights easy to up cardio benefit by adding simple compound exercises. What took the biscuit (gave me a smile) was "I pray durning the PLANKS!" You need to as Core is effective. On this section GOD =GO out and Do it otherwise "Grit yer (your) teeth" and endure the discomfort. Count equal on both sides. Like this one alot.

Review #3

I just had to write to tell you I did the Kick Party, Upper Body Party, CoreParty, and Yoga Party yesterday and absolutely loved each section! Love theformat of being able to either add on to another workout, or string thesections altogether. Each segment is a perfect length and sufficientlytough. :) Today I'll do Step Party and Lower Body Party and I'm sure I'lllove them just as much. :)Thanks for such a quality workout and keep up the good work!

Last Week-- #8 Optimum Health

Hello everyone,

This is the last week to Optimum Health. I hope this program was helpful by helping you make changes to become a healthier individual. I was able to adopt some of the changes myself. I did not do everything every week, but I'd say that I was about 75% adherent to the program. I have decided after this week, I'm planning to start over to Week 1 and try to get to 100%.

Week 8:

Projects:

Review the changes you have made in your lifestyle so far and think about how many of them you wish to make permanent. Develop a realistic plan that you can stick to over the next eight weeks.

Diet:
Think about how you can continue the dietary changes of this program in the next couple of weeks.

Exercise:
Reach your goal of 45 minutes walk 5x week

Mental/Spiritual:
Continue Meditation daily.
Express forgiveness to someone who has hurt you or made you angry.
Reward yourself with beautiful flowers for completing this program. Why not also buy flowers for someone else?

That's all! Congrats on making it to the end of the 8 weeks program. Please continue on moving in the direction of optimum health.
