Can anyone recommend a good exercise DVD?



Recommended Posts

For the first time in my life I am exercising regularly and am excited about it. I'm doing well with cardio -- walking mostly -- but I want to work on my abs, legs, and arms. Does anyone have a good DVD to recommend?

I just recently bought the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD. I really like it. It was only $9.99 at Target.

I kept seeing an infomercial for Zumba DVD's and decided to order them. They look like a lot of fun. Kind of mixes salsa dancing steps to make it more fun. When I get them, I will let you know how they are.

I used to work out with The Firm DVD's til I injured my knee. I think they are great videos. They mix strength training and aerobics. I just couldn't do them anymore because they have some exercises that were bad on my knees.

I really need to start working out regularly myself. I was on my AirClimber yesterday for about 15 minutes and my thighs are killing me today. First time I exercised, besides walking, since surgery.

Best wishes,

Stephanie

Any leslie Sansone videos Walmart has lots of them. It mixes walking with kicking, jogging if you want, knee lights, arm lifts etc. Kick backs. It's easy to do for any person no matter how much they weigh. I weigh 406 lbs and I do them, may not as fast as her but it's fun and peppy. :thumbup:

Hi! Despite my weight I have been an avid walker for years. I enjoy Leslie Sansone. I also have George Foreman's "walking" videos. I also like the TaiBo believers video. It is a very tough workout but I like the challenge a few times a month.

The best workout dvd's that I have used are t-tapp and taebo.

t-tapp you can find at www.t-tapp.com

They are wonderful and do not hurt your joints.

Taebo is great also for gettin gout frustration.

Either one will help you lose inches and tone.

Good luck

Just got Zumba videos and I have to say, I am really enjoying them. I don't feel like I am exercising at all, but can sure tell they are working me out. The workouts incorporate latin dance moves and music so you feel more like your dancing than exercising.

I love them!!!!

I am doing the Tae Bo "amped" series. It's 5 dvds and an "amplifier" bar from Walmart for only $30. It's been great so far . . . but it is kind of a tough workout. I don't think I could have done it very well if I hadn't gotten into better shape by walking and swimming first. Three months ago, TaeBo would have killed me.

I used to use the firm and I really liked it, I don't anymore just because I got a little burnt out on it. I love Yoga Booty Ballet its a lot of fun too.

Leslie Sansone videos are my favorite!! I love the walk away the pounds fat burner one!!

I am with Marie, Leslie's are the best, encouraging and not hard to do, either on a treadmill (watch while I walk) or just walking in place.

Continue the great work all of you! You all are doing good!

Before I even started getting this big I used to lvoe the Tony Little exercise videos. They are more toning and shaping than arobic which elps for me because of excercise induced asthma. It really did keep my legs looking good when I worked at a casino and wore a little skirt.

I highly recommend Joyce Vedral's weight workout, it will target the areas that you're concerned about.

      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.
