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,

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
