Can anyone recommend a good exercise DVD?



Recommended Posts

For the first time in my life I am exercising regularly and am excited about it. I'm doing well with cardio -- walking mostly -- but I want to work on my abs, legs, and arms. Does anyone have a good DVD to recommend?

I kept seeing an infomercial for Zumba DVD's and decided to order them. They look like a lot of fun. Kind of mixes salsa dancing steps to make it more fun. When I get them, I will let you know how they are.

I used to work out with The Firm DVD's til I injured my knee. I think they are great videos. They mix strength training and aerobics. I just couldn't do them anymore because they have some exercises that were bad on my knees.

I really need to start working out regularly myself. I was on my AirClimber yesterday for about 15 minutes and my thighs are killing me today. First time I exercised, besides walking, since surgery.

Best wishes,

Stephanie

Any leslie Sansone videos Walmart has lots of them. It mixes walking with kicking, jogging if you want, knee lights, arm lifts etc. Kick backs. It's easy to do for any person no matter how much they weigh. I weigh 406 lbs and I do them, may not as fast as her but it's fun and peppy. :thumbup:

Hi! Despite my weight I have been an avid walker for years. I enjoy Leslie Sansone. I also have George Foreman's "walking" videos. I also like the TaiBo believers video. It is a very tough workout but I like the challenge a few times a month.

The best workout dvd's that I have used are t-tapp and taebo.

t-tapp you can find at www.t-tapp.com

They are wonderful and do not hurt your joints.

Taebo is great also for gettin gout frustration.

Either one will help you lose inches and tone.

Good luck

Just got Zumba videos and I have to say, I am really enjoying them. I don't feel like I am exercising at all, but can sure tell they are working me out. The workouts incorporate latin dance moves and music so you feel more like your dancing than exercising.

I love them!!!!

I am doing the Tae Bo "amped" series. It's 5 dvds and an "amplifier" bar from Walmart for only $30. It's been great so far . . . but it is kind of a tough workout. I don't think I could have done it very well if I hadn't gotten into better shape by walking and swimming first. Three months ago, TaeBo would have killed me.

I used to use the firm and I really liked it, I don't anymore just because I got a little burnt out on it. I love Yoga Booty Ballet its a lot of fun too.

Leslie Sansone videos are my favorite!! I love the walk away the pounds fat burner one!!

I am with Marie, Leslie's are the best, encouraging and not hard to do, either on a treadmill (watch while I walk) or just walking in place.

Continue the great work all of you! You all are doing good!

Before I even started getting this big I used to lvoe the Tony Little exercise videos. They are more toning and shaping than arobic which elps for me because of excercise induced asthma. It really did keep my legs looking good when I worked at a casino and wore a little skirt.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
