Best workout DVD



Recommended Posts

I am looking for the best cardio workout DVD for the Wii. I thought about joining a gym with a trainer to help me tone up but, it is very expensive and I want to make sure I have full

commitment by working out at home first before shelling out that kind of money. I would like to tone my arms and abdominal area. I have lost almost 70lbs since being banded in June

2012 and I have barely worked out. I think my weight loss is slowing down and I want to kick start it back up, plus toning up couldn't hurt either ;) . I have heard about Bob Harpers

DVDs and also so Zumba ones are fun too. What does everyone think? All suggestions are welcomed!

I found a great one this week that a friend ( who is a trainer) recommended. Tracy Anderson Method. Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis. It's a little awkward at first but the sessions are short but you REALLY feel it. Some of her first videos are in the bins at Walmart for low low prices!

I don't know if there is one for Wii, but I have African Healing Dance that is wonderful! It's easy on the joints, the African drums make you want to move, there's no jumping, but you still work up a good sweat.

I have been dong Insanity. It's not easy and probably not a great starting point but I started to crave the a$$ kicking each morning lol

I found that the old MTV, The Grind helps me a great deal. It is hip hop dancing that you can do in place. It's energetic and fun. The other thing that works for me is Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home. The 1 and 2 miles are great. I tried the Walk/Run and thought I was going to die! LOL Definitely not ready for that.

      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!!

      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... :(
