“SHAPE: BIKINI BODY ALL YEAR ROUND, CARDIO WORKOUT” and “SHAPE BIKINI BODY ALL YEAR ROUND, TONING WORKOUT” both include SHAPE’s exclusive shuffle system, which lets the viewer decide how many zones to do at a time and in what order. Viewers can either play each zone as is, or shuffle the zone order or the exercise order. This allows viewers to stay motivated and makes muscles more responsive; a perfect combination for the fastest results. It also allows viewers to determine the length of their workout on any given day from ten minutes on. Both DVDs include a sixteen page Weight-Loss Guide and bonus workout segments.

“BIKINI BODY:CARDIO” is designed to burn calories fast and give a slim, trim, sexy body in no time with five 10-minute, fun, easy-to-follow dance-based segments, plus warm up and cool down. Instructors Lisa Wheeler and Michelle Dozois keep viewers movin’ and groovin’ with a fresh approach to cardio that trims and tones the whole body. The 18-minute bonus feature is the Long and Lean workout that blends yoga and Pilates for an effective and refreshing total body toning tune-up.

“BIKINI BODY: TONING” is designed for anyone who wants flatter, firmer abs, more shapely hips and thighs, a lifted rear, and a toned upper body. Each of the four training zone segments includes 15 minutes of focused, specific toning and strengthening exercises straight from the pages of SHAPE magazine. The bonus segment is an exclusive 20-minute Fat Burning workout.

Also available are: “SHAPE: YOUR ABS” which contains four 5-minute ab routines, plus a 35-minute fat burning workout and a bonus segment 12-minute total body quick fix with instructor Tracy York, and, “SHAPE: YOUR BUTT, HIPS & THIGHS” which includes two 12-minute lower-body routines plus a 35-minute fat burning workout with instructor Lisa Wheeler.
