Easy Home Workouts with HomeBody DVD

HomeBody is a new DVD created by Fitness Instructor Jillian Hessel. It is a great beginner workout that can be done at home without purchasing expensive equipment or requiring a lot of space! This is a “no-excuses” workout because all you need are the things that are easily found around the house to serve as your workout equipment.

The workout is a hybrid of Dance, Pilates, and Yoga, it’s designed to get you moving, stretching, toning, strengthening your core, and improving your posture. The workout cleverly uses common household items like food cans and water bottles to serve as hand weights. A straight-back chair is also needed for the seated exercises.

Initially, I thought some of the seated exercises were too easy, but for folks who sit at a desk all day, they are great for working the upper body and easy to incorporate into a work day to keep your upper body both strong and flexible. The neck and shoulder relaxation section is WONDERFUL. It’s like giving yourself a mini-massage.

Jillian says, ”I created HomeBody because I want to inspire folks to get up off the couch and start moving, dancing, and toning in the comfort and security of their own homes. Homebody is for everyone who likes to move to music, but doesn’t want to spend a lot of money or time getting into shape.”

The HomeBody workout is divided into four main parts (plus bonus tutorial!) that can be performed separately or in their entirety, depending on your time schedule. Special navigation buttons allow certain sections to be repeated if you want to concentrate on a particular exercise or sequence. Here is the workout summary:
