What's your go to exercise DVD/Program



Recommended Posts

I'm needing to get my butt in gear and start working out on a regular basis. I would love to hear what program you are using especially if you are doing a DVD at home. I just can't bring myself to go to a gym right now. I hate treadmills and I don't like walking outside.

Once I meet with my surgeon on Monday, I'm hoping she will clear me (I had an infection at my big incision) to start with more core work. I've been doing some Leslie Sansone but I'm getting bored even though I can't get through a whole program yet.

BeachBody on Demand. It's a $100 per year investment, but gives you access to every program they offer online / on demand / and in a app.

Jillian Michaels 10-Minute Body Transformation Second Edition. All the workouts are 10 minutes :P My kind of work out! And I have the Cize DVDs (Shaun T dance workouts). Those I don't love as much but when I'm tired of Jillian I switch.

Really keep it simple. I do not like to walk outside (loved to run before I gained weight) either but I started listening to podcasts and it made the time fly by. Eventually added a weight vest. Do not have time for gym memberships, and when I am home there is no time (3 kids) to find a spot to workout.

Now I look forward to my walks so I can get caught up on the "free" podcasts that I subscribe too. Almost works out to 1 episode per day.

Peloton digital app......they have good running and walking content these days that you can use outside or on the treadmill. You don't need their equipment to use the app.

Is that an apple app? Because I don't find it available for android users

Yes, I use it on my iPhone and am able to then project it from my phone to the tv in the room. I can also use the app while traveling for work and staying at hotels.

Ok, it's not an app for Android users. Too bad

@Coachthex32 I agree, I am actually saving my workout video stuff for the winter. I hated to exercise, but I've started to walk (faster and faster now) and now I walk 4-6 miles usually everyday, at least 5 days a week. it will get snowy soon up here in VT so I'm walking until it gets too yucky. Easiest, cheap, free (except for good sneakers and good ear buds) I'm actually enjoying it now. But, Body Groove is really fun, not all stiff and structured

      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!!
