Video recommendations

I've found a couple good videos lately that are helping make the wait for new Cathes a bit less agonizing.

Gin Miller's Simply Strong is an hour of compound exercises using a variety of equipment, and integrating balance and core work. She's not too whacky (I like her whackiness, but understand why some don't) and you could really grow with this tape, I think. It's based on the "Final Cuts" techniques. I got it from Gin's site for $14.95.

Ginette Deslauriers' (sp???) Urban Tai Chi is a unique low-impact cardio tape, and although it's 50 minutes you probably won't be in your zone the whole time, but you could modify up as you became more familiar with the moves. Its lateral moves really cooked my inner thighs, and there's a refreshing mind/body mood here. I bought this vid from Collage.

If anyone has already tried these, what do you think?

I have Gin Miller's Simply Strong but I have not done the workout as of yet. I have also "discovered" Intense Moves and for the first time I have been enjoying stepping. I love Cathe's Strength tapes but have never been able to do her step tapes for some reason although she makes it look fun. Hmm, Go figure

I tried Simply Strong yesterday and I have to say that it is harder than it looks. The triceps work is very hard and the level 3 push-ups are killers. The squats were a little fast for my knees, but next time I'll slow down and use heavier weights.
