Another of my old favorites, "Minna: Emergency Workout" is a great, simple workout routine. It is composed of two workouts: cardio and toning, each about 30 minutes long. The cardio segment has a great warm-up and actually is fun. The moves are a combination of traditional aerobics (grapevines, v-steps, etc) and latin dance (salsa, cha-cha, mambas). Don't worry though... the choreography is simple and easy to follow. Perhaps the best part of the cardio is Minna's ability to mix up intervals. She slows down when needed. As a result, your heart rate stays up, but you never feel like you're going to die. The time goes really quickly. The toning segment is a great all-around strength routine. You need one set of 3 to 5 pound weights. Minna combines lunges, squats, etc with upper body weights, leading to a very efficient workout. There is also floor work and abdominal at the end.
I really enjoy Minna Lessig, the former Ms. Fitness America. She is gorgeous and bubbly... yet she doesn't annoy me. I find her inspiring and genuine. I own several of her videos and enjoy them all. Overall, this video lives up to its name. "Minna: Emergency Workout" is the perfect video to do in a time crunch for an all-encompassing total body workout. I highly recommend.
