Workout DVDs suggestions for over 60

salladeve

I am looking for suggestions for women over 60 (I'm 61), I have problems with my knees, ankles and feet. In the 90s I was all into the step aerobics, doing them 5 times a week for years. After several injuries and gaining a lot of weight I have not exercised other then walking for at least 10 years.

After the latest injury a few years ago (severe sprain and torn Achilles tendon), I didn't think I would ever even be able to walk normally again. With PT I have gotten past most of the severe pain and strengthened my ankle so that I am able to walk for exercise.

That brings me to now. I am probably 80lbs overweight, and in the worst shape of my life. I really am looking to start exercising again, however I do NOT want to re-injure myself. I love the Jillian Michaels videos and would love to do them, but I know I can't right now. What would be your suggestions for exercise DVD for my age and fitness level? Currently I have the Jane Fonda Prime Time, which I did today and feel really good that I got all the way through it. I also have a Yoga DVD developed for people with knee problems and I do that at times. Are there any other that I should consider?

I'm hoping after a year or so of losing the weight and building up strength that I'll be able to join you in the 30day shred challenge! That is my goal anyway :bigsmile:
