PLEASE HELP
I am currently doing 30 DS and am not seeing much weight loss. So I would like to know which video workout have you lost the most pounds with, not just inches? I really need to lose at least 15 pounds before august.

i can't even get through 30DS so props to you guys! i have Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home dvd and i like it. she's a bit annoying.. but the one i have is 5 miles in an hour and it goes by so fast! i also have Richard Simmons' Sweatin to the Oldies and i seriously LOVE it. the workout is about an hour and it's fun and silly AND a great workout check it out i got my copy on amazon for like 5 bucks.0

I downloaded Jillian Michaels 30 Days Shred from Torrent yesterday. I did Level 1 today. It's a great workout video! I am planning to do it in the morning and jog in the evening for 30 minutes.0

p90x 1 and 2 and insanity if you can torrent them or borrow them from someone... they are worth paying some money for just not the full 1500

Richard Simmons is amazing! I have almost all his videos. I also have most of the Biggest Loser DVDs. They make a nice variety to choose from. I also do step aerobics with Cathae. They are intense. I have found that incorporating some of the P90x workouts into my routine increase my endurance & calorie burn:)0

I do Turbo Jam and love it! I've been doing it for a little over a month and I've lost 10 pounds and 14 inches. I don't know if those results are typical, but it works really well for me. Chalene Johnson is awesome, give it a try!0

I have been using Kettle worx and it combines the use of a kettlebell weight and exercises. The video set has days of cardio, days of resistance and days to work on your core. I feel like a sweatball after a 20 minutes workout, so I know it is burning lots of calories.

Tae Bo works wonders0
-
are any of those mentioned around the 30 min mark?0
-
I was also going to suggest Turbo Jam. If I remember correctly there are some workouts in there in 30min or less. Some of the Biggest Loser videos are great too!0
-
I would have to say Turbo Jam...or even if you have Netflix, there is a 10 minute solution kickboking bootcamp on there that is great too!
Edited to add that Jillian Michael's Shred it with weights kettlebell workout is a great cardio workout with the resistance of a kettlebell.0 -
You don't need a video.
Go outside and walk/jog/run. Do jumping jacks. Do body squats. Do push ups. Do lunges. Do burpees. Do hip raises. Do dips. Do planks. Do supermen. Do high knees.
There. All free. All doable in 30 minutes or less.0 -
:flowerforyou: I USE LESLIE SANSONE DVD'S , JUST STARTED DOING THE BIGGEST LOSER DVDS THEY REALLY ARE GOOD..PEACE ISSY0

I have the *****cat Dolls exercise dance dvd, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader hot body bootcamp, Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, and Billy Blanks Ripped Extreme. The *****cat Dolls dvd is a good work out, but I feel kind of silly dancing all sexual as a work out. I've done it like twice because of that alone but it works your legs HARD. The DC Cheerleaders is good strength training but you rest between every move which annoys me, I LOVE my JM 30 Day Shred and the Billy Blanks dvd kicked my *kitten*. It's pretty advanced and I am not really up to par yet, my back hurt for 3 days after attempting it. I want to work my way up to it. I would recommend the Shred and any Billy Blanks dvds, cause it's an awesome work out (tae bo) and who doesn't love Billy Blanks?! I also look up cardio routines online (I use Pinterest) and do those when I'm short on time or the boyfriend is hogging the tv playing Call of Duty. I've found some really good work outs that way, so don't rule out writing down a work out, putting on some music, and goin for it! I tried P90x with my mom and absolutely hated it, but maybe I'll try it again once my endurance and strength is built up.0

Thank God I'm not the only one!! I can't seem to do the 30 day shred either, just goes to show how outta shape I am I guess! I can ride my exercise bike for an hour, treadmill for 40 minutes, do strength training at the gym, but I just can't make it thru that darn video!0 -

i think because Jillian does the circuit training, it's just too much for my asthma. i can do the floor work, but the jumping jacks and other cardio is just too much for my lungs!
i love, LOVE kickboxing and step aerobics, too. but i also can't do them like i want to because of my dang asthma. i keep telling myself i'll build up to them, but so far i haven't. i have the 10 minute solutions (50 minutes if you do it all together) of kickboxing dvd and then i have some sort of step aerobics dvd also. (i think it was mentioned above)
good luck to you! just find what you enjoy and don't be afraid to branch out and try something new.0 -

yes very true but i can tell you i WON"T do it! if i have to make a effort in putting a dvd in, for some reason i will do it... i know strange otherwise i will make every excuse not to do it. i guess i need someone to tell me what tpo do, when to stop and when to change exercises...0 -
Bump..... : )
****definitely a post to keep an eye on for some good info!
thanks0 -
Hi!
I just got the Kettleworx dvds too! I am recovering from foot/achilles tendon surgery. I LOVE that Kettleworx is not a lot of jumping; but you are sweating your butt off within the first two minutes. I have not exercised in several months because of my foot and I cannot tell you how SORE I was! Let me know how you like it and which dvds you like best!!!
Thanks!0 -
Bump!0

I like Jillian videos but they haven't helped me lose weight. For that, I'm doing a random mixture of DVDs, most of which I get from the library. There is a 3 week checkout so I get to try them and then get a new one when I'm getting bored. If I really like it, like Biggest Loser Cardio Max, I buy it. I've got some Leslie Sansone dvds that are low impact but get a decent burn and help out since MN winters are easy to go walking in. I've done a Dancing with Stars that was fun and got the heart going. Yoga Meltdown wasn't a super high burn but it did make me think I would like regular yoga for flexibility. I've got some kettlebells that I do while watching tv occassionally, I just use a chart to figure out how to do the exercise.0

Have you tried any of Jillian's other Vids? 6-week six pack is pretty good0

Agree with above. At least for me personally, I really enjoy running. Gives me a chance to work out life stress and I feel so much better afterwards.0 -
Favorite workout DVDs:
Yoga - Anything with Suzanne Deason (GAIAM brand), especially the AM/PM for weight loss
Strength/Resistance - Core Fusion series, Body Sculpt is the best. 10 min segments focusing on each body part - LOVE, LOVE this DVD!!
Cardio - Leslie Sanson walk series... they are all good.
I see the best results when I alternate cardio and strength... you should always give your muscles a day of rest after doing a resistance workout!
Good luck!0 -
I picked up one of the older Biggest Loser DVD's in a bargain bin for $5. Thought I'd try it out and see, and I love it! Now I am searching for more every time I pop into a store with DVD's. I find that the quick pace of it and that they change exercises often keeps me interested.0
-
I wish that were that true....but it is not for me.
My foot is in a frenzy, as is my Achilles tendon- so that leaves the cardio portion of what you stated out of the question for me. I need the other part of the workout and or weights. I feel discouraged; my recovery has taken far too long and the weight is piling on.0 -
I saw this same question asked recently and I loved one answer to it...
The best workout video it the one you will do.
Good luck!0 -
bump - i'll keep an eye for other ideas. also doing 30 DS. haven't been impressed with results thus far - but i'm only 2 weeks in.0

Do any of these require impact? They sound amazing from your description! My foot can't cannot jump- period.0
