What's your go to exercise DVD/Program



Recommended Posts

I'm needing to get my butt in gear and start working out on a regular basis. I would love to hear what program you are using especially if you are doing a DVD at home. I just can't bring myself to go to a gym right now. I hate treadmills and I don't like walking outside.

Once I meet with my surgeon on Monday, I'm hoping she will clear me (I had an infection at my big incision) to start with more core work. I've been doing some Leslie Sansone but I'm getting bored even though I can't get through a whole program yet.

BeachBody on Demand. It's a $100 per year investment, but gives you access to every program they offer online / on demand / and in a app.

Jillian Michaels 10-Minute Body Transformation Second Edition. All the workouts are 10 minutes :P My kind of work out! And I have the Cize DVDs (Shaun T dance workouts). Those I don't love as much but when I'm tired of Jillian I switch.

Really keep it simple. I do not like to walk outside (loved to run before I gained weight) either but I started listening to podcasts and it made the time fly by. Eventually added a weight vest. Do not have time for gym memberships, and when I am home there is no time (3 kids) to find a spot to workout.

Now I look forward to my walks so I can get caught up on the "free" podcasts that I subscribe too. Almost works out to 1 episode per day.

Peloton digital app......they have good running and walking content these days that you can use outside or on the treadmill. You don't need their equipment to use the app.

Is that an apple app? Because I don't find it available for android users

Yes, I use it on my iPhone and am able to then project it from my phone to the tv in the room. I can also use the app while traveling for work and staying at hotels.

Ok, it's not an app for Android users. Too bad

@Coachthex32 I agree, I am actually saving my workout video stuff for the winter. I hated to exercise, but I've started to walk (faster and faster now) and now I walk 4-6 miles usually everyday, at least 5 days a week. it will get snowy soon up here in VT so I'm walking until it gets too yucky. Easiest, cheap, free (except for good sneakers and good ear buds) I'm actually enjoying it now. But, Body Groove is really fun, not all stiff and structured

      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.
