reverie 49 Posted April 5, 2011 Any of the beach body programs. I live/swear by them. TurboJam seems to be popular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vlp1968 83 Posted April 5, 2011 I absolutely love an old Jane Fonda step aerobic tape from the 80's. You can find it on ebay, whoops I just realized it won't be on dvd, just vhs. My uncle put the vhs on a dvd for me. If you would like to private message me your address I can send you the dvd, I do the treadmill now. I think you could pick up a step at target or a sporting goods store. If your just starting to workout you can do it on the floor then add the step as your fitness improves. It doesn't require a lot of room either. Can't say enough about what a good workout it is, and kinda fun too. Best wishes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElfiePoo 109 Posted April 5, 2011 I tried Zumba because it looked like fun, but it just made me feel so uncoordinated and awkward. Then again, I'm still struggling to stay in step with Richard Simmons. Rhythm is *not* my strong point. Tae Bo is another one of my favorites but, again, can't keep up at his pace but I still get my heart working. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Not sure what your fitness level is, but I love Leslie Sansone's walking DVD's. You can get anything from a 1 mile to a 5 mile workout and they work your whole body. She has 4 basic steps she uses so it doesn't require a whole lot of coordination or space. You can get them anywhere...from the Leslie Sansone website, Amazon, Target, Best Buy etc..

123crod 170 Posted April 5, 2011 I too tried the Zumbia and felt everyone of my 50 years. Might get courage to try it again. Since I paid $71 for DVDs Cheri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mommyto1 1 Posted April 6, 2011 I really want to try Zumba, but I haven't got to the point where I feel like I'd be able to do it and I don't want to pay all that money for it to sit on a shelf. I had used the Leslie Sansone Walking DVD's a few years ago and I really like them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherinCA 10 Posted April 6, 2011 Leslie Sansone Walk at Home! I love those. I did 2 miles this morning. It's easy enough for someone larger, not a lot of stress on the body, but it's still a good workout. You can watch some of them free here: http://www.exerciset...=leslie-sansone (or plenty of others you can watch there) or I found them on ExerciseTV on demand (on Time Warner Cable) Also I've been doing the 30 Day Shred from Jillian Michaels, it REALLY kicks your ass if you can handle it haha. It's about 25 minutes, and it's a lot of impact, jumping jacks, push ups... etc but it's a really good work out in a short amount of time. Aha I actually wanna get the Richard Simmons ones! He actually teaches classes around here, I so wanna go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tylee72198 10 Posted April 7, 2011 I ended up joining the Leslie Sansone Walk Club. You can't beat $29.95 for a years worth of access to her site. Plus I get 5 new workouts a month, and they archive each month. Right now there are 20 workouts online. I really do love her. I've done the Zumba, but I felt awkward doing them.
