I will be joining a gym soon but that may be a few weeks, I'd like to get started on something now!


I know there are thousands of get fit, keep fit, lose weight, etc dvds out there, so which ones have you tried? Which work, which don't? Which ones do you prefer?

Thanks in advance!

    I love my Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred. Full body circuit workout that only take about 27 minutes with warm up and cool down.

    I love Billy Blank's Tae-Bo workouts. So fun! Empowering to kick and punch - He's very upbeat.

    Another thing to consider is to use your DVR if you have one. Gilad's bodies in motion is on every morning on fit tv at 4am, I record it, and have a new workout 5 days a week. I like it better than a dvd because it's super effective, but different daily, so you don't get tired of the same thing all the time. Changing it up keeps your muscles working!

    I've tried JM 30 Day Shred and I am currently doing Ripped in 30 and The Butt Bible (also a good workout). But if you do decide to join a gym...check out Zumba!!!! Its fun and helps you lose inches off your waist!

    Personally, I dont agree with spending so much money at a gym when I can do it all in the comfort of my home BUT everyone is different!!! Either way...whatever route you decide to take...I wish you the best!!!!

    *Dance off the inches fat burning bellydance* ( you can get it from target, walmart, amazon etc...for $10 or so :) is fun... zumba, and TURBOFIRE! ;) ...those are my favorites! Also if you are looking for something that still burns calories, but is not super intense... leslie sansone's walk off the pounds dvds....

    I have been taping some stuff on my DVR so I can try them before buying. Only drawback is you have to fast forward past the commercials. I tried Gilad and Denise Austin. Both were good.
