How Do You Like To Move It - Move It?



Recommended Posts

I was curious as to what kind of workouts/DVDs/activities people enjoy doing to stay active and burn off all those pounds we’re trying to shed. I’ve been doing a lot of different DVDs because I don't enjoy going to a gym. I recently moved to a new area and would love to do Zumba again, BUT in the mean time I've been doing DVDs. Here’s the list of the ones I’ve been using:

Walk Away the Pounds with Leslie Sansone (This is a really good DVD to get back into the swing of things. I own the 1, 2 and 3 mile DVDs. It’s not overly difficult and I think that just about anyone could do this work out. There’s no getting on the floor to do anything and there is a “low impact” option for all the moves they do.)

The Biggest Loser - 30 Day Jump Start (This DVD has ten minute work outs for Cardio level 1, Cardio level 2, Upper body, Lower body and Abs. You wouldn’t think that ten minutes would do a whole lot but it’s a good one for people trying to get back into a workout routine again. Or you can choose to do all 50 minutes of the DVD. I would recommend having weights for this DVD. They do use them a lot.)

The Biggest Loser - Cardio Max (I do this DVD often. I’m a big fan of doing cardio and this entire DVD is all about that. There’s a 20 minute Cardio level 1, 10 minute Cardio level 2 and 3 and a 5 minute Warm up and Cool down. I like this DVD because you can customize what you want to do.)

The Biggest Loser - Last Chance Workout (This is a lot like the Cardio Max DVD. It has a 25 minute cardio and strength work out, 10 minute upper body sculpt, 10 minute lower body tone and 5 minute warm up and cool down.)

Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition Workout (You will be getting up and down off of the floor with this one. There are 3 levels to this DVD. Level 1 is 15 minutes, Level 2 is 25 minutes and Level 3 is 30 minutes. They increase with intensity for each level. )

I also have Zumba fitness for the PS3. This can be fun for something different. It doesn’t compare to going to an actual class in my opinion, but it does get your heart rate going and makes you break a sweat. The only thing that’s annoying is that the belt they give you is wicked small so I have to hold the controller the entire time.

Does anyone have any suggestions for anything new or fun that they actually enjoy doing? I am always looking for new things so I don’t get bored. Thanks in advance!

I am a memeber at out local Y. I started out by just using the elliptical, then added weight machines with it. Now I mainly lift weights with a little cardio thrown in at the end. I am now maintaining weight loss and toning.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
