For this video, he chose some old favorites from the 80s to get you hooked including Gloria, Call Me (by Blondie), Flashdance to just name a few. Who can resist wearing off calories when its this much fun.

6.) Living Yoga by Rodney Yee

It's perfect for beginners (like me), starting you off with one tape especially put together for the morning and then another video to wind down in the evening. If you have some friends of your holiday list that are stuck for a gift idea, this just might be it.
