@berardellicm6, That's unfortunate about your dog thinking that the DVD that you liked was another chew toy :grumble: . You probably already know this: - Amazon is a treasure trove for reviews of Leslie DVDs. YouTube has some full workouts as well as sampling of other workouts that you can view.

I just checked on Collage Video's website to see what I could find out. They, collagevideo dot com, have Leslie DVDs.
Their DVDs have a short video clip which, the ones that I quickly looked at, also had screen shots of the menu screen to show what choices you have when selecting various options that DVD may have, if any.
There is also a "Certified instructor description:" of the workout, as well as reviews from customers. Plus a lot of other information including the DVD's back cover information.
They also carry other fitness DVDs as well.
Collage Video seems to be fully back in business with the information available that we who purchased from them a number of years ago always appreciated! I do not know who owns them now, but the web site is in full swing again. That was good to see! ( I'm not associated with them, but they were one of my sources for Leslie DVDs at that time, as well as great information. I was sad to see them close when they did, but really happy to see that they are up and running now).

April 19: 3 miles - 3 Mega Miles with strength band work.

Walk Strong!

:flowerforyou:

@VeggieGirlforLife, all of Leslie's DVDs do the warmups for the arms, and lifting the arms at some time or the other, such as for knee lifts, or clapping during moves such as double side steps and so on.

Leslie often mentions that one of the benefits of working out at home is that we are free to modify and do what is best for us.
To demonstrate an example, for instance, she does show modifications such as arms on hips instead of raised in some parts of 3 Mega Miles. She also sometimes has modifiers when she is showing boosted moves or boosted walking intervals. Examples: a modifier will walk in place instead of boosting their walk during HIIT intervals. And Leslie will demonstrate doing a simple double side step instead of a grapevine if that is difficult.

At any time we can take those, and other examples that we come across, and also make up our own modifications, and modify any portion of a DVD to suite our needs, or health challenge, of the moment.

In the same way we can also boost any move to make it more challenging for our self when we want a little extra burn when we are feeling especially strong. For example, we can change single side steps into moving forward ones, or into skaters.

Also any workout can be done without using the strength band by following the steps, or making up our own steps, while not doing the stretchy band strength part.

I hope that this helps you exercise according to your chiropractor's guidelines . Hugs. Be creative, and also have fun with it, while you are recovering. You are doing awesome!

April 20: 2 miles - Walk It Off In 30 Days, both the Burn & Firm 30.

We are walking strong into the weekend!

@VeggieGirlforLife, You're welcome. I change things up when I either need to or just want to. There are a few things like the bounces that I can't do (old ankle injury), so I do different moves instead. I can never catch on to that cha-cha so I make up something :laugh". I always do the mambo combo because I'm bored mambo-ing back and forth forever waiting for her to "teach" me the combo , again. Sometimes I do a triple side step when I get bored of doubles. If I'm feeling strong I'll up the number of knee lifts... if not feeling strong I'll do just one or two instead of the quads she is doing. Sometimes I'll leave the DVD running and do what I call a 'therapy' walk in the long hallway, and do all the walking exercises PT taught my brother while he was recovering from the accident. Changes up how I'm doing the walking and "surprises my muscles" when I do that. But I'm still moving. When LS is boosting sometimes I get on the rebounder and do that instead, or run around the room instead of going back and forth. These are just a few ideas, but I'll bet you will come up with your own very creative ones.

You will do really great with your recovery while adjusting your walks to fit your needs! You sound pretty determined!! Sorry to read about your Jillian Michaels injury. That is a bummer as it seems like you enjoyed them.
