Weight Loss Workouts offers six 20-minute fat-blasting workouts contained on three DVDs. The DVDs included in this set are "Cardio Sculpt," "Cardio Kick," and "Pilates." Each DVD includes a 16-page 'tips and recipes' booklet from Cooking Light magazine.
Violet Zaki leads the "Cardio Kick" and "Cardio Sculpt" DVDs. Zaki is an international fitness expert, black belt in karate, star trainer on Exercise TV and teaches at Equinox in New York City. She emphasizes proper technique and fitness goals.

"Cardio Sculpt" incorporates both cardio and strength training into two 20-minute workouts. There are also warm-up and cool down sections. There is a bonus section that includes easy, fun activities you can do throughout the day to increase your calorie burn. There is also an eight-minute bonus "Ab Challenge" you can do. The DVD is 50 minutes in length.
"Cardio Kick" defines your arms, shoulders, and back using light hand weights and a variety of punches. Kicks target the inner and outer thighs and lift and tighten the glutes. Like the "Cardio Sculpt" disk, there are two 20-minute workouts and warm-up and cool down sections. The DVD is 50 minutes in length.
"Pilates" uses traditional Pilates exercises with calorie-burning cardio blasts to keep your heart rate elevated. This allows you to tone muscle and burn fat at the same time. The DVD contains two 20-minute Pilates and cardio workouts and is 50 minutes in length.

Thank you for this invaluable information. Pilates is well worth looking into if you haven't started yet. In fact keeping fit and healthy, by exercising frequently and eating smaller, nourishing meals several times a day - is a great way to have good health for many, many years.

Thanks, Lucy. I will have to look into Pilates more. I have been doing Weight Watchers and with that and the exercise have lost almost 30 pounds.
