work out dvds?

I like the Leslie Sansone indoor walking dvd's. She has some that you use hand weights and the different forms of walking she uses really gets you moving and tones you up. Best of Luck!

I"m personally a big fan of Jackie Warner dvd workouts. It's a lot of circuit type training - good for muscles and you get some cardio in there as well. I started with her One on One Training dvd (3 20minute workouts - each dedicated to part of body: upper/lower/abs). Her Extreme workout (red cover) is excellent - short and to the point and really gets your heartrate up.

I just started 30DS and have completed day 3 level 1.
it made me SO sore BUT that means it's working! You do have to push yourself. Today is day 4 and i'm not nearly as sore. The thing I like is when you think you can't do anymore, she switches to the next thing. Plus, they modify some of the moves so you can follow that and it's a little easier. You can do it!
I have lost 2# since Monday. Don't know if it's just a fluke or Jillian! I'm gonna say Jillian!! lol

Zumba! it is fun. They will all be hard at first you just need to keep moving eventually you will be able to go all the way through it and do all the moves. The 30 day shred is hard, very, but you can modify it, there are two girls working out in the video, one is going hard and the other is less intense. It is only 20-25 minutes and it is like doing a 40min to 1 hr workout. I would recommend it. Get it over with everyday so you can not have to worry about exercising to much.

I think 30DS in a great starter program. It has three different workout levels and they show modifications for the beginner and advanced.

If you have OnDemand, you should try some of the workout programs offered on the Fitness Channel and see what feels good.

I'm a fan of Leslie Sansone also. When I first started exercising, I tried 30 Day Shred first and it was the wrong thing to do for me--I was so out of shape and not ready for it! I switched to Leslie Sansone for a month or so and her DVDs helped kickstart my workouts again.

I also like Denise Austin. I did her Quick Burn Cardio for several weeks.

Now I'm doing 30 Day Shred again and it's much easier than the first time I tried it.

I'm currently doing 30 Day Shred (I'm in the middle of Level 2) and while I like the results, I'm not necessarily in love with DVD. It's tough and Jillian, while effective, doesn't particularly motivate me. She yells a lot, so I find myself muttering and swearing at her during the DVD. The one nice thing about the DVD is that you can see the girls working out with Jillian are struggling at some points. Every once in a while, you'll see one of them pop out of a move because it's too difficult. I like that they didn't edit around those moments. I have Time Warner digital cable and I just noticed that Levels 1&2 are available On Demand, so that's a great way to try them out.

I have also been doing TurboJam for the past month or so and I really like that set of DVDs. It's upbeat and fun without being too peppy. I'm getting a really good work out and I'm not constantly checking to see how much I have left like I do with 30 Day Shred. The drawback to these workouts is that you have to do each DVD a few times before you really get a feel for the moves. There are still times where I have to stop, figure out what I'm supposed to be doing and jump back in. I plan on stick with TurboJam through the summer and then moving on to TurboFire.
