Is anyone successfully just exercising to DVDs at home?



Recommended Posts

I just ordered the Biggest Loser DVD's on ebay.

Now that the weather has changed, it's too cold to walk very far with my dog. I haven't gotten up the motivation to join a gym. Shopping for a treadmill has overwhelmed me - it's such an investment and I just can't settle on one.

I haven't been working out regularly for over a month and my weight loss has started to slow because of it.

Thanks for this thread. I hope the DVD's work for me ...

I have a couple with Jillian (from the Biggest Loser) that are HARD! They're a very good workout. I got them from Lady Foot Locker.

I would like to get one like learning to salsa or something like that. Just dancing in place is a pretty good workout - I can feel different muscles working. Me and my little boy dance a lot lately - he's really getting into dancing, and it's so cute to watch him (he's 3.5 years old).

I've never tried any of the DVDs in the Tae Bo series that Billy Banks does but I've got a friend who loves them. I bought one today at Wal-Mart for like 10 bucks that I'm going to give a try. It's celebrity fit cardio but I must admit the selection wans't all that great. I'm finding it increasingly hard to find out work out DVDs.

I have actually found something that I love. I have not been banded yet, but found this and will use it after surgery. If anyone loves to dance and has playstation 2 - there is a "Dancing with the stars" dance game that comes with a mat that you step on to do the steps. It goes quit fast, is very fun, and makes me want to keep going because it is competative (you want to up your score). I have not been able to stop doing it. I actually sweat alot and have been very sore after doing it for an hour straight. Just thought I would let people know. I think they also have one for the Wii but not sure how it works.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
