Favorite workout videos, por favor :)

haleighallen

Trying to make it impossible for me to miss a workout. So even if I say that I don't have enough gas to make it across town for the gym, I still can't sit here and say that I can't workout! any and all suggestions are welcomed. But please let me know if what videos you're suggesting require "supplies" aka dumbells, resistance bands, etc. Thanks people!????

I just YouTube Jillian Michaels and do her work outs - several of them do not require anything but your own body weight - she kicks my butt, and I love it.

I would also recommend Jillian Michaels - 30 Days Shred, Ripped in 30, Killer Abs.
They are really good, you only need light dumbbells and a mat, they come in 3 levels (or 4), so the routine changes and you don't get bored. And most importantly - they deliver results!

30 day shred is on youtube Need dumbbells.

If you're in to yoga there are SO MANY on youtube. I haven't done many so not really able to recommend, but the one or two times I searched there were options galore. hmm maybe try searching pilates or whatever type of workout you want to do on there. Haven't tried that I'm sure you'd get some hits

What are your goals?

Anyone who makes a recommendation for a generic "workout" without first asking your goals probably doesn't know enough to be giving you advice. IMO. Different workouts for different goals.

JessicaSmithTV best workout videos. Quick, simple and free! Her barre workouts are especially good.

Anything by FitnessBlender :-)

haleighallen

Busca "Fitnessblender" en Youtube, ellos son entrenadores personales certificados y en su canal nos estan ofreciendo un monton de videos con excelentes rutinas. Nada mas que mancuernas necesitaras y peso muerto. Good luck with learning Spanish.

Muchísimas gracias! Me has ayudado mucho!! ????

I like watching Physiques of Greatness on Youtube. Chris Jones is hillarious!

Well right now my goals are as vague as losing weight/fat mass. I'm in the very beginning of the process and I have a lot to lose (near to 100lbs) so at this point, any little bit of exercise and movement should be beneficial to my health and i'm not going to be all the picky as of yet especially if it's to keep my butt moving at home even when I say it's too late/too far away/too much time to go to the gym. My goal is to make zero excuses!

And does anyone has suggestions that AREN'T on youtube? Don't get me wrong, youtube is FANTASTIC, but i also only just have my cell phone, no Internet or cokputer. And verizon has taken away my unlimited data (those *kitten*!) So watching a lot of videos on my phone is unfortunately out of the picture for me

haleighallen

"Cokputer" lol *queue Peter Griffin laugh*
I'm not fixing it. Lmfao

I personally like doing any of the Richard Simmons dvds, if you like dancing its an easy workout

Try your local library, they often have videos you can borrow for free to see what you like. Also check out garage sales or used on Amazon.

I own way too many workout DVDs but some of my favories are:

Turbo Jam (did this one this am) - weights for one workout but I don't like that one:-(
Zumba (Exhilarate) - weights for one workout but I don't like that one:-(
Jessica Smith is wonderful..my favorite is 10 Minute Solutions Boxing
Old Crunch workout: Salsa and Bootcamp (need handweights), old yoga workouts with Sarah Ivanhoe.
Ellen Barrett-pilates based...some use light handweights and you feel them in the morning.
The Firm are great to combine cardio and weights. I like the 500 cal workout and the kettlebell. The old "fanny lifter" workouts were great but I loaned mine to a friend who was getting married and never saw them again...
Cathe Friedrich does really intense workouts, I love her kickboxing. I know several people who swear by her but she requires more equipement.

Good luck

If you find you like one workout look up the reviews on amazon and see if someone else who likes it and then check what else they like.

Rebeccamosley86

If you like Beachbody products which I love and no I am not a coach just buy the workout videos. I lost 30 lbs with Turbofire and love p90x3 and Chalean Extreme, T25 is good. I am currently doing Combat I am in love with this program.

cppeace

The two I recommended aren't on youtube far as I know bellydance got on amazon the taebo at walmart

kwatkin

My love for exercising started with DVDs! Turbo Jam, and then Chalene Extreme... but Les Mills Combat has to be THE BEST! Nothing like punching to let out some aggression and get an awesome workout

DaveScadlock

Try Leslie Sansone's "Walk at Home". Many videos on youtube. Pick an easy one at first. Then as you progress, you can add longer ones. More demanding ones. When I am unable to bike, I do the workout.

I like Shaun T's Rockin' Body and I think you can get the set fairly cheap now. Hip Hop Abs, too.

A couple of websites to get you started

totalfitnessdvds.com

collagevideo.com

These sites sell DVDs.....but even better.....they rate videos for beginner, intermediate, etc. They tell you if it's high impact, if it requires equipment, if it has complicated (or basic) choreography, etc.

I like Walk At Home DVDs....or Just Walk DVDs by Leslie Sansone. Older ones are called Walk Away the Pounds (music is too quiet for my taste). These are available at Wal-Mart, Target, etc. No equipment needed....occasionally one will require a resistance band. If you buy the DVD new....the band will be included. These are beginner thru intermediate. You make it as intense as you want with arms, added plyo (impact) type moves. They are chaptered, so a 5 mile DVD ......really gets you more options....not one long workout.

Ana Caban has several pilates videos (a few others as well)....you will need a mat or carpeted floor. Quick Start Pilates for Weight Loss and Pilates Core Challenge are also in Spanish.

Okay a lot of people are suggesting Jillian Michaels, but personally I can't stand her. This is unfortunate because I splurged and bought like 6 of her DVDS before realizing how annoying I found her. which is why I suggest trying to find a workout dvd to watch on online before going and buying it. I think finding an exercise program you enjoy especially in the beginning of your journey is super important.

I like Shaun T, I think he's fun and he works out with you.
So try hip hop abs if you like to dance.

I love T25 because it is only 25 minutes, and it gives me fast results in inches lost and more strength! I have lost 27 inches over 11 sites on my body in just 3 weeks! I am heading into week four, and my energy level is great. I also take Raw Meal replacement every morning to boost my protein intake and I have positive energy all day.

There is a modifier in case you have any knee issues because of all the jumping. I also have his Rockin' Body workout, and that is a pretty cheesy, but fun workout. The ab workout is only 10 minutes (no floor work), and I can really feel it. It is also pretty cheap in comparison to T25 - only $28 with shipping.

Cathe Friedrich does really intense workouts, I love her kickboxing. I know several people who swear by her but she requires more equipement.

Cathe has many cardio workouts that don't require equipment. I like to do her step workouts without a step(can't risk my ankles if I trip) because it fits in a small space and the choreography is always interesting and challenging. You can do her weight workouts with dumbells and a barbell or bodybar. She is my absolute favorite.

^This is a good point......OP - do you have a library near you? At least you could try a few workouts to get a feel for the instructor/the workout style/ etc.

I had a Netflix (by mail) subscription that allowed me "test drive" new workout every week. I found out real quick that I have two left feet, loathe Jillian Michaels, and need lower impact much of the time.

Finding something you enjoy is going to make consistency much easier.

Wow guys thanks so much for all the responses! So many of these workouts/people I've never even heard of so this is just awesome!! Thank you thank you!!!

haleighallen

Bumping for the awesome night owl people!!????

Where my night creepers at?! C'mon guys!

I'm personally trying to find a good weight loss yoga video or a good zumba video to try. I'm been told the actual classes are more fun however I have to lose weight on a budget of next to nothing and Ive had very bad experiences in the past going to gyms or workout classes.
