Best workout DVD



Recommended Posts

Who can recommend a really good workout DVD series? I've tried P90X a while ago, but it did more for my husband than me. Not sure if it's due to all the weight training...

There are two video series that I have enjoyed and both produce good results. Both are excellent.

You are your own gym with Mark Lauren: http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Your-Own-Gym/dp/B00AM7EQYC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397929105&sr=8-2&keywords=you+are+your+own+gym

I enjoy this video series because you use your own body weight to get into elite shape. Mark trained some of the best in the special ops. He has a mixture of a lot of different moves from plyo push-ups to star jumpers to one legged Romanian deadlifts. The video has good production values and I did not find it getting old.

Inside out with bob harper: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_14?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=inside+out+bob+harper&sprefix=Inside+out+bob%2Caps%2C406

Do not think inside out is biggest loser because it is coached by bob harper. It is not. The video series has a lot of variation from cardio to strength training to yoga to kettle bell. It also has a really good one on one that has you doing bobs workout. The only workout I wish it had was a cross fit based workout, but "his" workout is still pretty good.

I know others enjoy the Jillian michaels DVDs. Never tried them before, but think they should be a good option for you also. I am presently working through p90x and find it is giving me good results in terms of building muscle. Sort of a slow process, but I have faith it will end well.

i really like the original Zumba series and have the entire thing but i'm too out of shape and deconditioned right now to use it.

i'm still pre-op but can't wait till after to start using it!

the original Shawn T series of Hip Hop Abs is pretty good, as well as almost ANY Beach Body series.

good luck getting going!

Per your comment that p90x was not quite a fit for you, perhaps insanity would be more your style. It is more hardcore cardio where p90x is more weight lifting (as heavy as you want to make it).

      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. 🤞
