I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for exercise dvds? I can't do anything that is too hard on the knees as my knees are not in great shape. I do have the Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds(I have two of them). But i was wondering if there are any other good ones that are going to be effective but not too hard on the knees.
Thanks for your help! -Kristie

    There's a low-knee impact variation for every move :)

    Turbo Jam has low impact modifications on it. Chalene is very protective of joints when she talks about form. I love ChaLEAN extreme too.

    Can you do yoga? There are tons of good yoga DVDs.

    My knees are in pretty good shape, so I don't know what you can and cannot do. You could always check out some DVDs from your local library and see which ones you like.

    The Windsor Pilates DVDs are good. They target specific body areas and are only roughly 20 mins a piece.
  • Thank you!!! :)

    biggest loser cardio max dvd
  • Hello Kristie,

    Gilad has a variety of fitness dvd's that are very low impact. I enjoy his dvds because his workouts are not too difficult and he has someone on the video with modifications. There is a absolutely wonderful yoga dvd that I enjoy: Healing Yoga: For Aches and Pains by Lisa Matkin,and Charles Matkin . And, Easy Yoga For Easing Pain by Peggy Cappy. I too am searching for alternatives because of my sensitive knee. I was not a big fan of the possibilities introducing yoga, but found that these are basic without crossing over into a weird spiritual avenue.

    I felt a big difference after doing the Healing Yoga For Aches and Pains the first time.

    Good luck.

    I second anything from the biggest loser- they are really mindful of injury, etc, but are also pretty challenging. Definitely worth it.

    Any of the "10 minute solution" DVD series are excellent...
