Recommend a weight training DVD?

You might check out Body beast from Beachbody. My daughter loves it and it is weight training only.

Jessica Smith Boot Camp DVD, its divided into 10 minute workouts, the full body workout includes weights.

I looked this one up and it mentions "bulking". That's the last thing I need! Is it more of a get big muscles program or a tone/lose fat for older ladies program? I tend to get very bulky when I lift weights. Thank you!

I think she was being sarcastic lol. Most women don't get bulky lifting super heavy so I doubt a DVD will make you bulky unless you take steroids and are eating a big surplus. I lift heavy and am in no way bulky.

I am looking for recommendations for a full body weight training DVD or system. I walk and ride my horse for cardio but I need to tone up. I've done the firm but it seems a little outdated and have also done P90x but an hour a day is way more than I will stick to. I'm trying to do everything in moderation this time! I am a 44 year old female with about 35 lbs to lose but don't want to be squishy.

Thank you!

I would recommend a LEG/PUSH/PULL ROUTINE:

that is 3x a week ( although you can make it 4-6 and just double up on the routine you think you want to add volume to, in my case I do legs 2x a week )

Leg Day:

Squat 5 sets of 8 - 12 reps ( first to set being a warm up set of 10-15 reps of lighter weight )

Leg Press 3 sets of 8-12 reps

Leg Extension 3 sets of 8 - 12 reps

Note: this is a quad dominant day for me so you can personalize this either a hamstring dominant day or vice versa.

Straight Leg Dead lift 3 sets of 8-12 reps

Hamsting Curls 3 sets of 8 - 12 reps

This concludes your LEG DAY work out.


Pushing Movements: Chest/ Shoulders/ Triceps

Bench Press 5 sets 8 - 12 reps ( first two sets as warm up sets )

Incline DB press 3 x 8 - 12

DB flies 3 x 8 - 12

Overhead Press 3 x 8 - 12

Front Raises 3 x 8 - 12

Dips 3 x 8 - 12

Tricep Extensions 3 x 8 - 12

Side Lateral Raise 3 x 8 - 12


Pulling Movements: Back/ Biceps/ Rear Delts/ Traps

Pull ups 5 x 8 - 12 ( 2 set warm up )

Seated Row 3 x 8 - 12

BB row 3 x 8 - 12

Bicep curl 3 x 8 - 12

DB hammer curl 3 x 8 - 12

Rear delt Flies 3 x 8 - 12

DB shrug 3 x 8 - 12

NOte: This is my personal program YOU CAN REDUCE THE volume by only doing 2 sets on each exercises. Also you can alternate/change exercise depending on what available machine/equipment you have as long as you make sure you target the same muscle group you are trying to train for example you can exchange Bench press with Dumdbell press and still do the same volume. Hope that helps.

I also recommend watching username: 3dmj on YOUTUBE.
