    If you can't get outdoors "Walk At Home" videos are a great starting point. These are low impact aerobics (with no choreography) ....you can go at your own pace & build speed and the number of minutes when you're ready.

    This is a YouTube channel ....Jessica Smith posted lots of walking videos here:

    This channel has Leslie Sansone & Denise Austin "walks"

    I do Leslie Sansone Walk At Home Videos. There are many on Youtube so save your money. I also joined her website where you can track you miles and get free videos. Good Luck!

    I know I am going to sound so overated, but Insanity has helped me so much and I highly recommend it. You get to workout at home and it only takes one hour max. I was 225lbs (my heaviest) when I started doing it, and yes it was hard, but I got used to it and Iove the challenge of getting better and faster at it each time I do it.

    There are tons of illegal YouTube uploads....and some legit ones too. It's hard to tell which ones are which. Her site would definitely be legit.....I might have to join.

    I like DVDs because 1. I know they are legal and 2. Because you get different options. Here newest DVDs Party Songs & Radio Mix are chaptered (of course) but they also have a MUSIC ONLY option. This is great when you just want something different, or for those bothered by her (near constant) chatter.
