What are your favorite exercise videos?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery 12/14/15. I am doing great and the weight is coming off but I attribute that to following my post surgery diet. One of my goals it to be 'fit'. I am failing at that goal. I am a beginner and have some limitations because of my knees, like avoiding high impact aerobics. But most exercise can be made low impact easily and elliptical is very comfortable. I really need weight bearing exercise to build muscle . So the question is what are favorite exercise videos and why. Do you use Amazon prime or you tube for free stuff? Any one tried daily burn subscription or the beach body subscription? In particular has anyone tried hammer and chisel, 30 day shred? If you felt any DVDs you have spent good money on we're huge disappointment or waste of money .... That is welcome info too! Thanks in advance!

I have orthopedic issues, too. My favorite is leslie Sansone's Walk Your Belly Flat. Here is a list of my exercise video collection with my personal reviews.

Your doing amazing! I love yoga videos--in fact I like to try a variety of them on amazon prime. I also bought ballet beautiful which is a wonderful video.

I too have knee issues and LOVE Hip Hop Abs. There is a girl, to watch. In the DVD who modifies and does the lower impact. I have bought all three DVDS in the series and knees are getting stronger and losing weight

I tried 30 day shred but the video seemed to have a lot of high impact (like jumping jacks). Of course this could be modified and the program may work but I became disinterested in it. I have had success in using Zumba dvds. The exhilaration set comes with some light toning stick (weights) for toning exercises. I really like the toning dvd that came with that set (workout is called ripped). The sticks are light but they sell a little heavier set that is included with the Zumba tone up system. I now have the exhilaration, tone up system, awesome legs and booty (comes with a rizer which is a step), and the incredible slim down. So I am really into it, lol! I like how most of the time the videos show the modified version. Of the ones I have tried of the Zumba sets the incredible slimdown is probably the most high impact (and does HIIT or interval training). All are great workouts. The videos always encourage you to find a live Zumba class in your area, but I have no desire to injure anyone :lol: I did see an Aqua Zumba class offered in my area so maybe someday. I am really glad I tried them because even six months ago I couldn't even imagine doing anything remotely like them. I am about 4 1/2 months out from surgery(lap band) and down 58 lbs. I feel a lot stronger and I actually can do some of the high impact moves even if it is only for 15 seconds. Let us know if you try any other dvds, I'm always looking for variety.

I like Jane Fonda's favorite fat burners ,low impact, and step aerobics. They are dancy (is that a word?) and easy to follow

Thank you for these suggestions and links.

I have to give them a look and try. Unfortunately, this has been my workout routine lately.

      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.

      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...
