Best workout DVD



Recommended Posts

Who can recommend a really good workout DVD series? I've tried P90X a while ago, but it did more for my husband than me. Not sure if it's due to all the weight training...

There are two video series that I have enjoyed and both produce good results. Both are excellent.

You are your own gym with Mark Lauren: http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Your-Own-Gym/dp/B00AM7EQYC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397929105&sr=8-2&keywords=you+are+your+own+gym

I enjoy this video series because you use your own body weight to get into elite shape. Mark trained some of the best in the special ops. He has a mixture of a lot of different moves from plyo push-ups to star jumpers to one legged Romanian deadlifts. The video has good production values and I did not find it getting old.

Inside out with bob harper: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_14?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=inside+out+bob+harper&sprefix=Inside+out+bob%2Caps%2C406

Do not think inside out is biggest loser because it is coached by bob harper. It is not. The video series has a lot of variation from cardio to strength training to yoga to kettle bell. It also has a really good one on one that has you doing bobs workout. The only workout I wish it had was a cross fit based workout, but "his" workout is still pretty good.

I know others enjoy the Jillian michaels DVDs. Never tried them before, but think they should be a good option for you also. I am presently working through p90x and find it is giving me good results in terms of building muscle. Sort of a slow process, but I have faith it will end well.

i really like the original Zumba series and have the entire thing but i'm too out of shape and deconditioned right now to use it.

i'm still pre-op but can't wait till after to start using it!

the original Shawn T series of Hip Hop Abs is pretty good, as well as almost ANY Beach Body series.

good luck getting going!

Per your comment that p90x was not quite a fit for you, perhaps insanity would be more your style. It is more hardcore cardio where p90x is more weight lifting (as heavy as you want to make it).

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
