Losing weight with dvds

I use workout dvds for my main workouts, though recently I added in running. I have lost weight using dvds as my only workout. If you need ideas for which dvds are the best, type dvds into the mfp search bar to get tons of ideas. I love working out at home- I'm much more likely to workout if I don't need to leave my house.

I go on exercise on demand on my tv and do like the leslie sansome walk at home/ julian michaels, and pilates. I was on a great roll losing weight until I started school in the fall and it completely threw me off track

I use DVDs all the time. Jillian Michaels (30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30 , No More Trouble Zones, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism), Bob Harper (Yoga for the Warrior is my favorite but his whole Inside Out Method Series is great), Leslie Sansone (Walk At Home), 10 Minute Solution (a HUGE variety of options available in this series).

Hopefully you could modify any of these so they don't aggravate your shins.

Try the local library and Netflix - most of these are available to check out/rent.

I recently started doing TurboFire at home - intense but effective so far. My cardio has improved dramatically and I've started losing inches. :happy:

When I first started losing weight I did calorie restriction only. Then I started adding in time on the treadmill. Then finally I bought the 30 Day Shred DVD by Jillian Michaels. I lost weight the entire time (b/c I was balancing my calorie consumption with my activities) but by adding in the weights and toning exercises in the Shred workout I have seen much more improvement in muscle tone and inches lost. There are lots of great workouts out there that you can try. I started with this one b/c it combines strength training, cardio, and ab exercises and happens to be popular b/c people that stick with it get great results. Next I'm moving on to alternating several other Jillian Michaels DVDs - No More Trouble Zones, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, Yoga Meltdown, Ripped in 30, and Extreme Shed and Shred. I might throw in some oer non-Jillian workouts and some running here and there as well. I stuck with the Shred for 30 days, now I'm ready for some variety. :-)

Walking, running (check out Jeff Galloway for your shin splints problem), wii games and workouts, dvd workouts, iphone/ipad workouts, playing with my son. Whatever I can fit in.

This is a great site for videos, and they have clips of most of them too. YouTube can be another source for checking out DVDs.

I will say that the Walk Away the Pounds series is good for people needing low impact.

EVERY pound I've lost since 2005 has been because of DVDs. I was 212lbs in 2005, and started with Turbo Jam, fell in love, and I've used nothing but DVDs ever since.

I used to buy DVD's like crazy. I have so many and now they just collect dust. I am one of those people that gets VERY bored doing the same workout everyday. I've tried doing JM 30 day shred 4 or 5 times now and I cant get past doing it longer then a week. So boring! I've tried rotating the DVD's everyday to make them different but I still find that boring too.

Anyways, on to the point. The BEST workouts I have ever done and will continue to do forever will be BodyRock.TV workouts. I love everything about them. They are free workouts online, you don't need to buy a ton of equipment (It's so easy to modify any of the exercises to use just your body weight, its what i do!), so you really only need a timer and you can download free ones on your phone or ipod, there are HUNDREDS of workouts posted so you can pick a new one just about every day, and they are still posting new ones all the time. I highly recommend them. I've seen such amazing results with them that no DVD has ever been able to do for me. My thighs are so hard to get smaller and I lost inches off my thighs just doing the BodyRock workouts in 2 months. I think you should check it out!
