Get a Total Body Makeover with Bob Greene

Written by Oprah Fangirl on Friday, January 22nd, 2010 in Oprah.

Bob Greene Total Body MakeoverFor those of you who don’t know who Bob Greene is, he’s Oprah’s personal trainer and author of The Best Life.

Now he has a new workout DVD out that crosses between diet advice, wellness concepts and a workout DVD. It is very interesting because it combines all of these things for a more holistic approach to health. Check out Bob Greene Total Body Makeover on DVD and let us know what you think!

Personally, I thought it was a nice break from the usual fitness videos where some skinny little 23-year-old b*#ch makes you feel like crap if you can’t keep up. This program contained a lot of good advice and a lot of encouragement along side the challenging, but rewarding workout sequences.

The Queen of Pilates is Back – Mari Winsor!

Written by Oprah Fangirl on Saturday, January 16th, 2010 in Infomercials.

Mari Winsor Slimming PilatesI remember when I first heard the word Pilates. It was back when Mari Winsor was introducing America to what would become, along with yoga, one of the leading fitness genres for women around the world.

I was watching TV earlier and saw an infomercial for Winsor Slim, Mari’s new product and DVD series. It looks like a lot of fun, and I’m very interested in the fact that those expensive Pilates machines that used to cost thousands have now been boiled down to a basic piece of equipment, called The Accelerator, which comes with DVDs, diet plans, exercise charts… all for under $100. I guess exercise equipment is going the way of computers – faster, smaller, cheaper. I like that direction! :-D
