Any of the beach body programs. I live/swear by them. TurboJam seems to be popular.

I absolutely love an old Jane Fonda step aerobic tape from the 80's. You can find it on ebay, whoops I just realized it won't be on dvd, just vhs. My uncle put the vhs on a dvd for me. If you would like to private message me your address I can send you the dvd, I do the treadmill now. I think you could pick up a step at target or a sporting goods store. If your just starting to workout you can do it on the floor then add the step as your fitness improves. It doesn't require a lot of room either. Can't say enough about what a good workout it is, and kinda fun too. Best wishes!

I tried Zumba because it looked like fun, but it just made me feel so uncoordinated and awkward. Then again, I'm still struggling to stay in step with Richard Simmons. :blink: Rhythm is *not* my strong point.

Tae Bo is another one of my favorites but, again, can't keep up at his pace but I still get my heart working.

Not sure what your fitness level is, but I love Leslie Sansone's walking DVD's. You can get anything from a 1 mile to a 5 mile workout and they work your whole body. She has 4 basic steps she uses so it doesn't require a whole lot of coordination or space. You can get them anywhere...from the Leslie Sansone website, Amazon, Target, Best Buy etc..

I too tried the Zumbia and felt everyone of my 50 years. Might get courage to try it again. Since I paid $71 for DVDs

I really want to try Zumba, but I haven't got to the point where I feel like I'd be able to do it and I don't want to pay all that money for it to sit on a shelf. I had used the Leslie Sansone Walking DVD's a few years ago and I really like them.

Leslie Sansone Walk at Home! I love those. I did 2 miles this morning. It's easy enough for someone larger, not a lot of stress on the body, but it's still a good workout. You can watch some of them free here:

(or plenty of others you can watch there)

or I found them on ExerciseTV on demand (on Time Warner Cable)

Also I've been doing the 30 Day Shred from Jillian Michaels, it REALLY kicks your ass if you can handle it haha. It's about 25 minutes, and it's a lot of impact, jumping jacks, push ups... etc but it's a really good work out in a short amount of time.

Aha I actually wanna get the Richard Simmons ones! He actually teaches classes around here, I so wanna go laugh.gif

I ended up joining the Leslie Sansone Walk Club. You can't beat $29.95 for a years worth of access to her site. Plus I get 5 new workouts a month, and they archive each month. Right now there are 20 workouts online. I really do love her. I've done the Zumba, but I felt awkward doing them.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
