Does anyone use any work out DVD`s

All I use are workout dvds. I stick mostly to beachbody ones, Insanity, P90X3, T25, but I also incorporate Youtube videos. The channels I like: Autumn Calabrese, Tone It Up, BeFit, Real Fit TV, Tony Horton, GymRa, and ZuzkaLight.

Anything by Bob Harper or Biggest Loser. They will kick your butt!

I can't speak to DVDs specifically but I've been having fun trying out different workouts on Hulu plus. It's nice to have so much variety. So far I've done a barre, bollywood dance, power yoga and cardio sculpt. It's also nice that I can find a workout to fit the time frame I have that day whether it's 20 minutes or an hour.

They work if you are consistent. If you only do them once in a while and you don't put forth the effort while doing them, then you only cheat yourself. Any video that is fun for you and encourages you to come back and do it again is effective!

I work out at home....I have a set of Bowflex Select Tech dumbells......I have p90x, Brazil Butt Lift, Chalean Extreme and Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30....I live in an apartment and I don't have any room for any more equipment than the dumbells so that has to do... They definitely work if you put the effort in and give it everything you got for the entire workout.....I can't afford an ongoing gym membership.....I have a mountain bike too...for the two weeks out of the year in Alberta that I can get outside to ride!!!!lol

Yes, you can definitely get a great workout from a DVD. It really depends on what kind of workouts you like; I recommend choosing a program which fits your interests (as there are many good ones).

Some examples of what I enjoy:
I like Jillian Michaels workouts - I have been mixing in her yoga workout every week. Aside from that, I think some of the Beach Body ones are good - T25 is my top one out of those. My absolute favorite right now, though, is Tapout XT. I am interested in MMA (mixed martial arts), so that's why it appeals to me... it's a lot of punching, kicking, core work, etc, some of which is using resistance bands. I feel like I've really been building up my strength. The workouts are tough, but there's a lot of variety and the time seems to go by fast (most of the time.. there are some particular workouts I like better than others!)

I have found in practice that sometimes the actual workout calendar is too much for me. For example, I am running 3 or so days a week and doing Tapout 3 or so days a week right now. I think you should feel free to adjust any of the at-home DVD programs to better fit your needs.

I always use DVDs to workout. I've used Jillian Michaels, Jennifer Ellison, Kirsty Gallacher, Natalie Cassidy, Insanity. They've helped me immensely.

I am thinking to buy work out dvds to use in winter time since I am unable to go to gym often. So does anyone use work out dvs and are they effective? Can you still get a good work out?

Really effective videos are the ones you will actually do consistently. If you dread a workout....consistency won't last long.

For me, I have to click with the instructor. I used to get Netflix (by mail) and got a new workout DVD every week. This helped me figure out what I liked and equally important .....what I hated. Now I have several DVDs that I rotate between.

A well rounded program (for me) is strength training, cardio, and flexibility. That translates to Kelly Coffey Meyer (mostly) - Leslie Sansone (on a rebounder) and assorted short yoga videos, respectively.

If you have no idea what you like, I would suggest free on-line workouts (Hulu.com, BeFit, Totallyfreeworkouts.com), your local library, or Netfilx (by mail) ....something to narrow your choices while you figure things out.

You want to find something that you will do for a very long time. Not just while on a diet.....lifestyle change if at all possible.

All I use is workout dvds as well, the only thing else you'll usually need with them are hand weights (I have 3,5,8, and 10 pound). Right now I am loving The Firm Express, 12 20 minute HIIT style workouts that you do Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I also do step dvds on Tuesday and Thursday. The Firm workouts are GREAT, they are tough but don't take up a lot of your time. You can get them on Amazon for $27 and that's for twelve of them so I thought it was a good deal! It comes with a meal/workout plan as well plus a bonus 10 minute cardio dvd. Hope you find something you enjoy!

I run 4 days a week, but that's going to be coming to a stop soon. I won't be able to hit the treadmill that often during the winter, so I am searching for DVDs to use at home.

I currently use Brazil Butt Lift on my off days from running ... I like it ok, but I am already getting bored with it.

I use workout DVD's - I am currently doing Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution set. I like DVD's because you don't feel the same pressure as in a class, you get out what you put in, and the flexibiilty to pop it in and workout on your own schedule. I do find that I have to have some supporters sometimes for consistency. Having a weekly goal: ie) "I will workout 5 times this week", and sticking to it really helps too.

And I appreciate the other comments as I've learned about other programs to add to my collection!
