Exercise video for beginners

Options
What videos would you recommend for someone who has not worked out in 3 years. I am really out of shape and just had a baby 8 weeks ago. Any suggestions would be great!

    I know they're super cheesy but on youtube there are Billy Blank's Tai-Bo videos.... like I said, mega cheesy but still an aerobic workout that would be adequate for beginners-intermediate I think.

    My friends and I would work out to them but make sure that we dressed up in ugly 80`s-ish workout gear because we couldn`t bring ourselves to be serious about it :)

    I highly recommend the 30 day shred - all levels are available free on youtube.

    I too, was 3 years without exercising until recently, and the shred was the first thing i did. The first few days I felt like I was going to die - but I completed it (mind you, I did not go the whole 30 days straight, did 5-6x per week) and now I am onto other videos.

    Good luck and feel free to friend me, I am always into having fellow moms as friends :)

    Leslie Sansone videos have helped me in the past. You can find some of her videos on Amazon and even at Wal-mart. =)

    30 Day Shred on Youtube. Try Day 1, the steps are easy, you don't need a loadda equipment and it's fun :bigsmile:
    Other than that....I like dance vids. If you can get 30 mins of dancing in a day it'll make a big difference

    I watched that one yesterday and thought I might die if I try. I will go ahead and try it tomorrow:)

    I use to dance all the time and loved it. I will definitely have to try and find some dance videos on youtube. Thank you!:happy:

    I might have to try that and get my husband to do it with me
