Ok, I need to get a work out DVD and don't know what to do. I've seen P90X, but its pricey. So this is what I've got: resistance bands, yoga mat, 1lb hand weights, treadmill. I have a fused back so many yoga positions and high impact are not comfy. I've seen something about 30 day shred on here. What else is out there, cost, where to find it?? Is Zumba a DVD that is affordable? Walmart shopping is ideal here.

Youtube isn't an option, internet too slow for that.

    30 day shred is a good one... I have also heard that the Biggest loser videos are great! I do turbofire and it is amazing!! Check ebay or amazon... sometimes you can find it used and very cheap!!

    Jillian's 30 day shred is at Walmart for $9.00 - its in the fitness section (not where the DVD's are). Its one heck of a workout & not for the weak!

    I love P90X! I got it off of ebay for half the price, I know it's pricey, but you really get what you pay for!

    Ripped in 30 and 6 week 6 pack by Jillian Michaels is what I am doing now, I love them!

    P90x is well worth the money. Insanity is also good and Supreme 90 is not as good but still pretty good. (only 20 dollars) That's all the ones I've used.

    The Zumba DVD's are $100 here, too pricey for me right now!

    Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper have some good ones out there :)

    I love Turbo Jam with Shaline Johnson. The music and moves are so fun, and she provides someone to follow for low impact if the high impact is uncomfortable for you. Check out the link below on Amazon.

    This is what I do too! I use netflix to change out my workouts. If you are really wanting ot buy a DVD, I'd go wtih Leslie Sansone's Walk Away The Pounds. She's so motivating!

    Wal-Mart has tons of exercise DVDs to choose from under $10. The Jillian Michaels Banish Fat Metabolism is a good one. I lost 4 pounds in 1 week with that. Another good one that I use on alternate days is Leslie Sansone walk at home, walk slim dvd. I usually do cardio Mon, Wed, and Fri and the walking slim dvd on Tues and Thurs. I might now I do strength training on the days I do the walking video. Right I am following a cardio boxing dvd by Laila Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard.

    I lovelovelove the Biggest Loser videos. They always motivate me really well and have every level from beginner to advanced in the same DVD--they always are making sure there are ways to make it low impact as well as more challenging to accommodate anyone doing it.

    I love Leslie Sansone Walk at Home dvd! There are quite a few to choose from and they carry them at Walmart. They run $10-$15 each. I would love to try Zumba too but too expensive for me too!

    30 day shred is no joke i do it 3 days a week.
    on netflix i use:

    Kelli Roberts (w/ my weights)
    Cardio Salsa DVD is good.
    Leslie Sanson (online walking club costs 29 a year) you get access to monthly videos online and I love it. You can mix it up from a fifteen minute walk to a 45 minute one
    Sweating in the spirit (Donna Richardson) nice starter video -- got that on target for 8 bucks

    you can find some videos online at amazon.com as well.

    You can go on Youtube.com and find some videos for almost anything, make a playlist and do it for free. the way i have mines is having a stretch warm up video, then intense work out videos and a stretch video to balance it out. It's FREE. Just find the ones you like. I mix it up between Zumba, Standing Abs, and Leslie Sansone

    So far, I like 3DS and want to get Turbo jam next.

    I tried P90X once (and a friend is about to loan it to me again) but I can tell you with your back it may not be a good option for you. Or, you need to be prepared to skip a few exercises.

    I'm on the hunt for a good DVD myself.

    Oh how I wish Netflix was an option, internet is too slow where I live.
    I found 30 day Shred at Target for $9 yesterday. Did my first workout this morning. It was pretty hard since all i've done for a few years was walk or swim. My back & knees are holding up so far, but the knees did make some frightening noises in the workout. I'll keep on going as long as its just noise & the pain level doesn't change.

    I purchased 30 day shred because I had seen so much about it on the forum. I bought it but I haven't tried it yet, need to get some small weights!
