Hi.
I am currently trying to lose weight, but not at the expense of losing my lower body. I tend to lose most of the weight in my legs and glutes when I run, so I wondering if there are any other cardio workouts that I can do to lose weight, but not lose my shape. I really don't have access to machines, so I am more interested in home videos. Something intense to make me sweat. I already have lower body videos with squats, lunges, etc, so I don't need that. Just a pure cardio video that I can do in my living room. Thanks for any help!

Please fill in your profile so that we may help you better.

For upper body cardio, such things as Tae Bo, Shadow Boxing, and the like are wonderful.

If you have a Playstation 2, you could look at purchasing DDR Max2: Dance, Dance Revolution. (Claim that it's for the kids.) I have found that to be a fun cardio workout that the family can do together. If you have two dance pads, then you can take turns with two people dancing at a time. Then take a break for one round and jump back in. There are training sessions built into the game that start as easy as UP 2 3 4 UP 2 3 4. (If you are musical in nature, you'll understand that.)
