The Fat Chick Works Out - LIVE!

[Guest guest]

I wrote about Jeanette

DePattie in the past and her Fat Chick Works Out DVD.

Well, I just noticed today that she does a live streaming

of her half hour (?) class every Thursday and Saturday mornings!

One small problem - at least for those of us who don't live on

the West Coast of the US - She holds them at 8:30am PST, so for

those of us on the East Coast, that's 5:30am. I'm up that early on

Thursdays, but rarely on Saturdays. I set a reminder so I catch it

tomorrow and see if it's as nice as her DVD workouts.

For those of you who are just starting out with exercise, The Fat

Chick Works Out DVD is wonderful. It starts out with a very easy 5

minute warm-up, then each week she adds another few minutes and

new steps, each about another 5 minutes. The progression goes on

for 12 weeks, but you can stay at any week for as long as you

want. The home page menu gives you an over-view of Jeanette and

her program, a link to learn all the steps, a link to the workouts

themselves, and a section called "Giggles." I won't spoil the

surprise, but I will mention she also sings in an opera company in

real life.

When you click the Workout link it takes you to a list of weeks,

and you click on the week you want to do. On each week's home page

you have the option to listen to a Talk, usually about a topic

like wearing proper shoes to exercise or the importance of getting

in enough water; Learn the Steps; and Sweat, which is the workout

itself. By the

end of the 12 weeks the total workout is around 40 minutes,

counting warm up and cool down.

There are samples from the video on the web site in the Shop link:
