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, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
