Best workout DVD



Recommended Posts

I am looking for the best cardio workout DVD for the Wii. I thought about joining a gym with a trainer to help me tone up but, it is very expensive and I want to make sure I have full

commitment by working out at home first before shelling out that kind of money. I would like to tone my arms and abdominal area. I have lost almost 70lbs since being banded in June

2012 and I have barely worked out. I think my weight loss is slowing down and I want to kick start it back up, plus toning up couldn't hurt either ;) . I have heard about Bob Harpers

DVDs and also so Zumba ones are fun too. What does everyone think? All suggestions are welcomed!

I found a great one this week that a friend ( who is a trainer) recommended. Tracy Anderson Method. Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis. It's a little awkward at first but the sessions are short but you REALLY feel it. Some of her first videos are in the bins at Walmart for low low prices!

I don't know if there is one for Wii, but I have African Healing Dance that is wonderful! It's easy on the joints, the African drums make you want to move, there's no jumping, but you still work up a good sweat.

I have been dong Insanity. It's not easy and probably not a great starting point but I started to crave the a$$ kicking each morning lol

I found that the old MTV, The Grind helps me a great deal. It is hip hop dancing that you can do in place. It's energetic and fun. The other thing that works for me is Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home. The 1 and 2 miles are great. I tried the Walk/Run and thought I was going to die! LOL Definitely not ready for that.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
