Here's to the Ladies Who Lunge: 'Squeeze It In' DVD

LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO, local moms Jenny Hein and Brigette Polmar launched Squeezeitin.com, a site brimming with exercise ideas for women like them without a lot of time to go to the gym. The notion of adding squats to your hair-drying routine and getting a glute workout at the grocery store struck a chord with enough ladies that now the duo have put out a DVD ($14.99).

Hein (an ACE-certified group fitness instructor) leads a 45-minute workout and also walks viewers through moves they can do in various situations: at work, in the carpool line, at the playground, etc. Her cueing is clear and peppered with peppy encouragement; think fit, friendly neighbor, not Jillian Michaels. And although it lacks the polish of fancier DVDs — long breaks with tips flashed on the screen seem like a waste of time, and some of the dialogue is repetitive — it has loads of great advice. Plus, beginners can do it, and it makes the fit set sweat, too.
