Reshape your shape!

There are a ton of ads out there for reshaping your shape. I even have a button I wear around town that has those words on it as well. I am not talking about that though...I wanted to do a product review for something I purchased from Shape Magazine. They have a web site store called the www.shapeboutique.com and that is where I purchased a video called Shape pilates. When you purchase the product some of the proceeds also goes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation...anyway, it arrived in the mail and I was excited. I put the dvd in and soon figured out that doing this exercise on a hard wood floor was not going well. So, if you do not have a exercise mat...definitely get one and I found one at target for $10 bucks. I would also have some hand weights and you can find those at target or check garage sales...etc. Its a great investment anyway. One pair of a 5 pound weights would be perfect! The pilates video was 30 minutes in length and easy to follow. I find that eventhough I work out all the time this dvd was challenging and I have a point to work up to...its fine to not start out at the same level of the instructor. Then on the dvd is a bonus menu and to my surprise there is a 12 minute..yes, you heard me right "12 minute" all over body work-out! It involves a quick warm-up, weights, the mat and some good streches at the end. I loved it! Short but S-W-E-E-T! I think ANYBODY can handle 12 minutes...think about it! In just 12 short minutes a day...you can change the way you look. Something to think about!
