About 16 years ago, I interviewed Jillian Hessel for BBW magazine. Jillian is a fitness expert and author of Pilates Basics.
Jillian has a new DVD called HomeBody, that's fun and easy to do at home with no special equipment. I've been doing the seated arms and hands dance to relieve the stress of holding and working with my cellphone and laptop.(click to the free, short - 2:45 seconds, workout on youtube.)
HomeBody is designed to do at home and each chapter in the workout covers a different part of the body, so you can customize your workout and fit in some movement, even if you only have a few minutes.
I took a review copy of HomeBody to Europe last fall. I showed it to my friend in Amsterdam. Even though she uses public transportation and walks a lot, she is still carrying some extra pounds she gained while pregnant. She hates to workout, especially because she is on her feet all day. But after watching HomeBody for few minutes, she was up out of her chair and moving along with Jillian and she didn't even realize it.
She said the music and Jillian's friendly conversation got to her and she didn't feel like she was exercising.
