20 Best Weight Lifting Dvd For Women (2023 Updated)

Wanted something quick but effective for a boost in the mornings. This is it! I do a lot of cardio but have a hard time finding something with a little weight that I like enough to stick with. You can definitely feel this workout in your body even after only one workout! It’s not extremely hard but it’s, for sure, nothing to sneeze at either, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Wasn’t sure if I would like Jillian but that lady isn’t your typical flighty instructor, you can feel her energy through the screen which is very motivating. I started with an 8lb kettlebell which worked perfect for me, if your new to weights I would start with no more than a 4lb weight at the most and move up from there.

While I am not a senior, I am very close to it being in my early 50’s. I have had several years of major illness ending with MAJOR surgery in December. Once I started to recover, I found I had no strength and a lot of pain with movement, most likely the beginnings of arthritis.

I tried to exercise but found I couldn’t do much without getting over tired or too much pain. I saw this DVD on Walmart. com and thought I would try one more time. WOW – I am so pleased! There are 4 different seniors doing the workouts – all at different levels so you could follow who you were most comfortable with.

The movements were simple enough to follow, yet got you moving! I am so glad I got this DVD and would recommend to anyone either in my health situation or a senior! I actually look forward to exercising now!!.

It is not as good as her Fat Blasting Yoga DVD, but it is okay once a month when anybody would like to take it easy in exercise. She is all over the place – not consistent at all. It seems like she put together random exercise moves in one DVD.

But overall Okay.

I had this DVD for a few years and for some reason it did not work right anymore. I really missed the routines so I purchased it again from Walmart. The DVD is fun and you can do one or all four routines depending on how much time you want to exercise.

I like Denise’s style and her encouraging dialogue. Some people don’t but like I said I do. Overall a fun exercise DVD.

I was not disappointed in this Denise Austin DVD. It’s hard enough to make me feel like I’ve worked out but doesn’t require too much jumping. I use it at least once a week now and look forward to it each time.

She changes moves enough so that I don’t get bored, yet doesn’t make the routines so tricky that I can’t do them. I would definitely recommend this.

Jillian uses a combination of body and free weights to get your muscles working. The best part is you will get a decent workout in 30 minutes, not including the warm up and cool down. She works all muscle groups.

The prices for all her DVDs are reasonable on Amazon. I definitely recommend. Great for people who are active already.

I loved these in the 80’s and I’ve always wanted my own copies but could never find them. Now I’ve got my own DVD versions and I couldn’t be happier. There are fitness programs for different fitness levels so it’s great for everyone.

Jane Fonda was, and still is, the Queen of Fitness and everyone knows of the Jane Fonda Workout. It’s legendary.

Even though is only a DVD, you feel engaged with Jane Fonda. She is really good making the connection with you through a TV screen. Highly recommended. Worth every penny.

The product was too advanced for my age group. If Id been able to view a short clip from the workouts I would have realised this DVD was unsuitable for me

When you cant make it to exercise class, this is a great way to keep up your maintenance program for those of us sedentary types. Will have you stretching in ways you never have. Dont be fooled by the age of the class participants.

You can do these exercises, but they wont kill you and will make you stronger. After learning the routine I put on a cd with music I like while doi g the exercises.

I usually do 45 minutes of low-impact aerobics 6X/week. I had foot surgery but I want to maintain flexibility and muscle strength while I recuperate. I ordered this DVD set and the Stronger Seniors Pilates DVD.

I cant do the aerobics segment for a few weeks but these DVDs will help me physically and psychologically during the recuperation period.

Good exercises in the chair. Quick results. Soothing music and instructor boice. while you do it too. There’s a group you can watch and see their struggles too.

I’m 72 and I really like this dvd. It’s easy to follow, no jumping around, she speaks softly and is easy to understand. It’s nice that the other two ladies are doing less intensive versions. I have already recommended it to my friend.

I didn’t realize this was a seated yoga tape. Not a good workout for me, but maybe for someone else.

I have always been a fan of Jillian Michaels upon discovering her on “The Biggest Loser” as a coach. I find her to be authentic in her delivery while presenting you with the best alternative while attempting to achieve your goal, fitness.

Initially I bought the DVD for the kickboxing aspect, I figured it was cheaper than going to a gym with the health crisis of today. What I discovered almost immediately, what a great self-defense DVD it is also.

I’m a single woman living in her own truth and I will not be afraid to venture outside my front door. I find that there are many ways of self protection and kicking someone in the head by surprise with ease is one of the many facets you’re discover in this DVD.

Still a huge fan because I feel as if I got a 2 for 1 out of DVD great exercise workout AND awesome self-defense tools. Bravo Jillian.

If it wasn’t for my wife I would have never kept up with these workouts, I wanted to give up right away but the kickboxing one was a great segway for someone like me who was used to the same old routine of lifting and hitting the elliptical.

I always thought these workout videos of my wife were easy watching her do them, but boy did they kick my butt, and I have been through boot camp with the Army and played soccer in college. The pain is worth it, and the results are much faster than what I was previously doing! Silver lining no doubt!.

I love Jillian. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and always goes to the experts when developing products, programs and writing her book. The Kickbox Fast Fix is my favorite workout of hers. It’s fast, quick, easy to follow and gets you sweating.

Jill has such a bad rap from the Biggest Loser, but she’s the real deal as a world-renowned health and fitness expert.

This is a workout for anyone. If you have a disability or are just not up to a hard workout on your feet it is perfect. Mary Ann Wilson makes it fun and uses some good music which makes it more enjoyable.

I did work up a sweat so don’t think you will just be sitting still. I hope to use this to work my way up to a regular exercise routine.

Great video for those unable to exercise with regular person in standing position.

Pros: Great exercises! My heart rate stays elevated the entire 30 min. I sweat like crazy and feel like I get a great workout. The warm up is separate, so you get a full 30 minutes of exercise. Kelly is very enthusiastic and motivating.

She makes the workout fun! The two women she uses are “normal” No made up plastic barbies here! There are several different varieties of workouts for upper and lower. Some have more intense cardio and some have less intense.

It gives options of different areas to work. Cons: There is no timer in the corner of the screen (I like to see how much torture is left! Ha Ha!) I didn’t know I needed anything else but weights. In the middle of the first video, I had to pause to go get a towel.

All in all I am very happy with this purchase!.

I loved everything about this DVD. I work 60+ hours a week and I do not have time for hour long workouts during the week so Kelly Coffey-Meyer’s 30-minute workout series works for people like me. Kelly Coffey-Meyer is now my favorite female workout instructor (my male favorite is Gilad).

She and her two backups are very pleasant, her cues are very clear and she correctly demonstrates the moves slowly before working out at tempo. I was very surprised to find on the menu page of the DVD that in addition to the two main 30-minute workouts (Workout 1 – Back, Legs & Chest; Workout 2 – Biceps, Triceps & Shoulders) that there were a number of pre-mixed workouts to get a variety and there were even a full body workout pre-mix and an ab workout pre-mix.

You won’t get bored with this workout DVD. Unlike workout DVDs targeted to beginners, this workout DVD can be used for a lifetime because if you are not feeling your muscles challenged enough, all you need to do is up your weights.

If you are tired of workout DVDs that contain nothing but annoying workout instructors, constant chatter, bad cueing and hard-to-follow moves, get this workout DVD.

This works all the major muscles in under 60 min. There are 2 workouts at 30 min each. One is for upper and the other lower. I do them both under the “pre-mix” section. Kelly is pleasant to listen to and her cues make it easy to follow.

The 2 girls behind her don’t annoy me like most background people do. By that I mean they are working hard and not overly smiley and perky. I workout HARD and it annoys me when I see people acting like it’s no big deal.

I even get my husband to do this with me and he sweats and grunts as well! 🙂 Too easy? Pick up a heavier weight. Oh! The floor Abdominal workout is a killer, too! You WILL be sore after you do this.

I like the Kickboxing style generally and this DVD gives four 10 minute sessions of that. I add a session or two at the end or beginning of a longer program to fill out an hour. The moves appeal to me.

They are easy and effective. The more energy you give the bigger the return. I would suggest anyone at any level could use these. Very useful addition to any exercise library.

I love kickboxing and this provides an effecient, effective workout for days when I don’t always have 30 or more minutes. It also comes in handy when you’re on trips where there’s no workout room. Jessica Smith uses weighted gloves, but I start with no weights, so as to maintain form.

Once I get confortable with the moves, I will add weight. Try it. You won’t regret it.

You wouldn’t think that 10 minutes could do much for you but this workout will. You’ll feel the burn in your lower body while shaping up. If you aren’t in great shape, you WILL be breathing heavy and you WILL be drenched in sweat when you’re done with one 10 minute session.

Some are a little easier than others. If your looking to tone up and lose weight, this DVD will help you do it. I think that you’d have to do more than one session a day. 2-3 sessions/day on 4/5 days per week should do it.

Good luck with your tone up and weight loss goals!.

After working out to Total Body Sculpt on Fit TV I saw good results. In a short time I had noticeable stronger muscles–got me hooked. I like how there is a good warm-up followed by lower body, then upper body, abs, and cool down/stretching in each 20-25 min session.

Owning the DVD makes it so I can continue my workouts without paying for cable tv.

First class workout. The targeted areas get me and my friends to “hurt City” on a regular basis. But what can you say about training fifty year old bodies? If you want a good workout this one is for you.

So glad I bought 3 more of these. Never disappointed with Gilad workouts

Love the workouts, bought the DVD because I have a wedding in 9 months and want to tone up my problem areas!! I do wish there we’re levels of advancement. I’ve been using the DVD for about three weeks now and seeing great results but am afraid I am going to get bored with it after a few more weeks with the same workouts every week.

I bought this based on reviews but its not as great as the other WOmen’s Health DVD, Workout for your Body Type. Though I must say I love the flexibility of being able to choose the routines I want to do.

Only WOmen’s Health DVDs do that and I LOVE it! Get the other DVD, this one is for beginners.

I loved this workout! I have been doing the Firm workouts for years, and this is one os the best. Some of the moves are a little tricky but if you are familiar with the Firm at all, you will catch on quick.

I work out and jog 5 to 6 days a week, and this one left me shaky at the end. I really felt like I had been challenged. I did not wear a monitor, but I am willing to bet that it burned more than 500 calories.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this workout was as well as by how many calories I burned. I was skeptical that I would burn 500 calories because I’ve used other FIRM workouts with the pink and white label and haven’t burned as many calories as I thought I would.

(I wear a heart rate monitor when I workout. ) This workout kicked my butt. I burned over 700 calories!! It was quite shocking. I will definitely keep this DVD in my rotation. The instructor was very fast paced and could have done a better job of cuing as well as moved slower transitioning between moves but overall this workout was very well done.

I would recommend this to intermediate and advanced exercisers. Its not for beginnners.

I already had this video since I was like 25. ! I am 30 now and just had my second baby. I pulled the workout video out and dusted it off , and I still love this video. ! You can customize to your own liking.

! No special equipment needed , just a pair of weights. My first child scratched my video , so I looked and looked , only Walmart carried this video. ! Walmart saved me. ! I got compliments after I started doing this video people could tell.

! BUY THIS VIDEO IT WORKS. !.

I still have the original video of this workout but my tape player does not work. This DVD has the original workout, but the audio is not the songs on the original. It has background music instead. This is probably because of music licensing.

The original songs were part of the enjoyment for me years ago. There is also added audio of Jane during the workout. You can still do the old exercise routine but I miss the original music.

I thought I was getting a workout video that’s easy and low impact to use on those days I need a break. Boy was I wrong! It really kicked my butt! There are two levels. Beginner and advanced. Even the beginner workout really gave a a good work out!.

I used to do this workout when I was young and fit and size 8/10. It’s still the best workout ever. Even though now I’m in my fifties and a size 12/14. Jane Fonda has always taken good care of herself and it shows.

She is so positive and gives out positive vibes. She is my role model. I want to be fit and slim like her.

Everything is GREAT! Music, cueing, and lots of encouragement from Debra. You feel like you’re in the same room. and she TRULY understands how you feel. and keeps you motivated. Due to the pandemic and the need for sheltering in place, I took it upon myself to resume STEP.

OMG, I had first started in 1987, but needed to purchase several STEP dvds and platform for home use. I highly endorse and recommend this dvd, in having viewed other STEP dvds in this regard. Debra’s STEP is truly one of my faves 🙂 For me, the music is vitally important, and Debra has selected some excellent upbeat songs from the past to inspire your workout.

I bought a stepper that came with a DVD and that video was soooo not for beginners. The instructor did a bunch of crazy moves and I was lost and done in 15 minutes. I marched in place just to keep myself moving.

At the same time, I bought this Shapely Girl Beginner DVD and was glad I did! Debra Mazda really understands “beginner” level. I like how the entire video is broken up by tutorial, instruction, toning, and more.

Debra starts off with basic steps that reminded of the aerobics class I took in high school (mind you, it’s been 15 yrs since then, lol). That’s the whole reason why I chose step aerobics as my return to the fitness world and it was awesome.

I didn’t finish the whole session, but it got my heart going and sweating. I would say that it is easy to follow. I’m working myself up to finish the DVD with Debra. Feeling great!.

I was look for Jane Fonda original step aroebic and came along debs and love it lost 3 pounds in 1 week doing the 56 min workout. I thought the treadmill was getting me in shap well this really showed me the treadmill was not.

Still love doing my treadmill along with this. And u can go into the mixs and pick to do the beginning workout or the advance which are no longer then 30 mins each and also can do a small toning weight lifting after the full workout or on its own.

So I say if you like step workout this one will not disappoint you.

I’ve been doing the DVD since the week after it came out I love it! I feel my clothing getting looser and it even motivates me to eat better because I just worked so hard. For the above comments I think she should exchange her copy because mine has NO sound issues at all.

Also I started as a real beginner and I had no problem following the moves they are pretty simple. I think it would have distracted me if they would explain too much. Women’s voices?? What’s wrong with THAT? it’s a WOMEN’s DVD LOL.

Anyway I love it highly recommend and so do all my friends =}.

amazing! much cheaper than going to exercise classes! and fun enjoyable no pressure and do it in you own free time!

I just read above post my sound is tottaly fine must be a bad copy I would bring back for exchange. I’m actually pretty beginnerish and I found it very easy to folllow along even though there were no major “instructions”.

Women singing? yes! It’s a women’s DVD! WHy shouldnt there be women singing?? I am thrilled with this product would highly recommend!.

This workout is very difficult to follow and keep up with. I have been working out most everyday for 2 years high intense cardo Its the trainer style that is hard to follow. The thing I would like most people to know that I did’nt you HAVE to have a long cardo step bench to even do 4 out of 5 dvd’s.

The dvd’s are not really timed. So if you like to work out 30 min or 1 hour this work out system is not for you. I did like the change you from my old work out, but it has not gotten any easier in the 3 months I have owned.

I can also say it is a Full body workout system.

This is one of the toughest jillian workouts i have done but its so worth the money and time. She makes you really burn up a sweat
