Let's put warning labels on our workouts

I'm feeling goofy, so I was wondering if you'd all play along. What warning labels would you put on workouts you own? Or maybe you don't own them, but based on the preview clips, you've made a decision about what you liked or didn't like and want to warn others about. It could be good or bad, it's up to you.


Amy Bento Kickbox Surge and most Turbo Jams:
WARNING!! May not be appropriate for people who don't like fun workouts. Side effects include smiling and singing along to the awesome music. This is normal, do not be alarmed, do not panic, continue to move. Please consult your doctor if you're a fun-sucking shrew, as you may not know what's going on when your frown is turned upside-down.

some Jari Love workouts:
CAUTION!! Choose weights wisely!! Going too heavy may result in actually being repped-to-death. Side effects include: death and/or extreme muscle soreness, if the former occurs first, it won't matter.

LOL! I love it! I'd put the same warning on Zumba Fitness Live. I just finished that one. Big fun!

I'd put on the Firm's Burn & Shape:

WARNING - This workout may make you want to kick your TV off the stand. Stand back to avoid serious property damage.

Insanity:

WARNING! Side effects may include but are not limited to swearing uncontrollably, sweating profusely, tingling in the legs, arms and buttocks. Other side effects may include tingling in the feet and an uncontrollable feeling of laying down, curling up in a fetal position and playing dead. If you experience the uncontrollable urge of throwing the remote at your TV, please contact your health professional immediately.

LOL about Tony's Jokes!!! and I love the comments about BBL and Insanity! Had me in stiches!!!!

OK here I go:

Insanity- Warning. Death May Occur. But for some reason its gratifying!
BBL- Warning: Leandro will murder your thighs and butt all while playing cheery brazilian music and talking in his oh so cute accent. Resist throwing your ankle weight at him.
P90x - Warning Tony makes many jokes that you should undoubtedly laugh at by yourself.And while doing ohms on yoga X if someone is in the house do it quietly, but if no one is, do it loud lol!!!
Tracy Anderson-Warning: cute as a button Tracy is not so good at counting reps. When she says 'five more' do NOT listen! Warning....her dance cardio is soo fun and don't be fooled by her three pound weights she is the devil for your arms..in a good way!!!
Chalene in Turbo Jam- caution: you may want to hate on her, but if you just give her a chance you will be laughing at her singing in the vids!

((I will probably think of more later!!))

Your warnings make me wonder why I even want to try Insanity or BBL

WARNING! Christi Taylor will make you a believer in the benefits of shaking your hips in time to really good music.


WARNING! Don't be scared at how easily you do complicated step combinations that Rebecca Small leads you through. You may also find yourself involuntarily crying, "Wheeeeeeeeee!" as you spin around the step. It's okay!
