So I'm new to this forum-- I've been on weight watchers for a while and I've written a bit in that forum over there, but I never knew there was a featherweights subforum! I'm 20 years old, 5'8, right now i'm at 169 and I want to get within a healthy BMI range, which i'm pretty close to. Ideally, I'd like to be between 155 and 160 sometime soon.
But anyway,
I FOUND THE BEST WORKOUT TAPE... EVER.
I decided I'd start doing workout tapes because I'm at college and in the winter, walking 15 minutes to the gym there and back is BRUTALLY cold. Even running there and back sucks-- not to mention it adds a half an hour onto my workout time. Now I can just jiggle myself all over the place in the comfort of my own apartment right in front of my tv.
On ebay I bought a workout lot of about 18 tapes, and I find that I like most of them. But ONE of them is a diamond in the rough...

It's called Cindy Crawford's Shape Your Body- I have a completely new respect for her
This intense trainer guy named Radu is also in it. It was made in 1993 (you can tell it's early 90's by the music and the way she's dressed haha-- but I'm still completely obsessed with this tape
). It has 3 workouts-- two of which are about 40 minutes long, and the last of which is an "in a hurry" workout only 10 minutes long for when you're running out the door. It incorporates some modified ballet moves that give you buns of steel, ab work, work with weights-- goes over every part of the body! I only use 3 lb weights because I'm lazy.
It's one of the only tapes I've done that, first of all I want to stick to and find motivating, and second of all, actually tones your body! The tape got some criticism for her doing the moves too fast, but hey, I see results, and I didn't hurt myself when I did it.

Totally recommend.
Anyone else have any good workout tape recommendations? Doing the same one over and over again gets boring.
