Workout Dvds anyone?



Recommended Posts

I used to do the Walk Away the Punds videos when I started out. They were manageable and definitely a decent workout. I have been consistently going to the gym for months now, but some days (Like today with a sick child at home) I cannot make it. I have been doing the Biggest Loser Workout (the first one) and I do the Boot Camp workout (there are a few different workouts on the DVD). It is a killer and I just finished it and everthing in my body is burning!

I also like the Firm videos that come with the steps and body bar. A bit more of an investment and challenging but killer workouts and maximum results. (that's assuming I am consistent with them).

I used to love the Richard Simmons workouts. Yea, he is odd and annoying, but his workouts are fun and I like seeing "normal" people instead of those gorgeous types in fitted outfits.

The only thing I don't like is anything with Denise Austin. I know she is sweet and knows her stuff, but her voice is like nails on a chalkboard for me (I know that is mean but I cannot listen to her!).

Good luck and with all the videos out there, I am sure we can all find something we like.

I always like Dr Phil's motivation of making yourself accountable . His hint was don't allow yourself to watch tv until you get your exercise done. It really helped motivate me way back in June of 06. Now I swear it is like brushing my teeth . I look for ways to burn extra calories during the day. Who would of thunk it?

Changed woman,

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
