Workout Dvds anyone?



Recommended Posts

I used to do the Walk Away the Punds videos when I started out. They were manageable and definitely a decent workout. I have been consistently going to the gym for months now, but some days (Like today with a sick child at home) I cannot make it. I have been doing the Biggest Loser Workout (the first one) and I do the Boot Camp workout (there are a few different workouts on the DVD). It is a killer and I just finished it and everthing in my body is burning!

I also like the Firm videos that come with the steps and body bar. A bit more of an investment and challenging but killer workouts and maximum results. (that's assuming I am consistent with them).

I used to love the Richard Simmons workouts. Yea, he is odd and annoying, but his workouts are fun and I like seeing "normal" people instead of those gorgeous types in fitted outfits.

The only thing I don't like is anything with Denise Austin. I know she is sweet and knows her stuff, but her voice is like nails on a chalkboard for me (I know that is mean but I cannot listen to her!).

Good luck and with all the videos out there, I am sure we can all find something we like.

I always like Dr Phil's motivation of making yourself accountable . His hint was don't allow yourself to watch tv until you get your exercise done. It really helped motivate me way back in June of 06. Now I swear it is like brushing my teeth . I look for ways to burn extra calories during the day. Who would of thunk it?

Changed woman,

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
