Ok..Im not the most out of shape person, but Im not exactly fit and toned. I have recently moved and theres really no where for me to continue walking like I was. I was losing about 5-7lbs a week and after not walking I only lost 2 lbs last week:rolleyes . Can anyone reccomend a good work out dvd that isn't too strenuous? I need something I can do in the house. I tried doing random excersices, but Im not sure if Im doin them right, and I don't want to hurt myself by doing them wrong. lol..I'm not talking about the old Jane Fonda workout either. Has anyone used those trampoline exersice things? It looks kinda fun...Any suggestions are welcome.

I am pretty fat - and I joined the local Express Fitness. So far, the folks there haven't treated me badly - and there are even some of others that come close to my size.

If you have Express Fitness where you are, I recommend them. The fees are really low (at least in my town) and they have all the basics.

Good luck!

If you or your kids have a playstation or xbox try dance dance revolution. it's alot of fun and you don't even feel like you are working out. My daughter plays it more than me and she has lost about 15lbs playing it recently and she hasn't changed her eating habits. I play it mostly on the weekends. I tend to be a social/exerciser and need to go to the gym to get my social time in as well. It helps that I work there. The game has a "workout" mode and it keeps track of calories burned...and in the workout mode you don't even have to be good, you just have to keep moving.

As far as exercise videos...I really like Zumba (its a latin dance one) and the ones I used to love when I first started working out was Richard simmons. They were fun, and it was nice to see other people of various sizes doing the exercises and not just the fitness crew like in MOST videos.

Thanks you guys there are so many good ideas here, Im excited to try them > I particularly like the dance dance revolution, sounds like fun and I need to get my kids into an interactive video game, and not just sit there excecising their thumbs.
