This Week's Health-Related DVD Releases (February 9, 2010)

Being winter, you would think that more health and exercise-related DVDs would be released. With the cold weather and short days, many of us are much more likely to work out in our homes instead of trekking to the gym or running/walking outside.

This week only a handful of new health-related DVDs are on store shelves, but they offer fitness regimens for the heart and mind, for the young and old, even for men and women.

Brain Fitness Frontiers is a fascinating PBS special about cognitive training and other therapies that are challenging the previously thought limits of brain plasticity. If you are interested in neuroscience at all, you will be fascinated by this program.

Another neuroscience DVD, The New Science of Learning: Brain Fitness for Kids, examines recent breakthroughs in neuroscience and educational research regarding the brains of children.

One of the biggest risks for heart attack for men is a big belly (visceral fat), and Men's Health: The Belly Off! Workout aims to reduce that risk by slimming down that area through exercise with The Body Weight Routine and The Strength Training Routine.

Shapely Girl: Walking Fit and Fabulous! offers a workout regimen for plus-sized women.

A lifetime of good health starts at an early age, and KidYogi and TeenYogi offer yoga sessions specifically designed for children.
