    30 Day Shred is HARD for a beginner but it gets great results. When I started it I was in pain for 3 days. But a few days after that I started doing it twice in a row and at the end of the 30 days I had awesome results in inches lost off my body. It's tough but if you stick with it you won't regret it.

    I think you should leslie sansone 5 mile walk DVD. You can use hand weights up too 5 pounds but to start try 3 pounds you can burn around or over 500 calories doing all 5 miles!! They go by really fast. Or some of Denise Austin DVDs you get good results with her too.

    There is a 10 minute Tae Bo DVD that you should try. That's how I got started. Plus there is an old lady in the video that really motivated me to push through the whole workout : )

    My first workout DVS were actually the P90x series. You can target all of your muscle groups in the comfort of your own home. Then on my lazy days I watch yoga on Netflix.

    I have Netflix, and I do a lot of the crunch dance videos. I really like Jennifer. I am a beginner, and can't dance at all. It was a little hard to get the moves down the very first time, but after the second or third I had it. I love doing them now, I do them everyday. Good luck! They also have Yoga, Pilates, and bootcamp videos as well that I enjoy.

    zumba. some people say its hard, but once you get the hand of it, its great. they have beginner levels too, so you can do it. leslie sansone is a good one to start off with if you havent exercised in awhile. i liked it.

    Leslie Sansone DVDs are great for beginners and help you to build endurance. They are walking DVDs.

    I have a Denise Austin dvd that I began with when I wanted something more physical than pilates. It's called "Shrink your Female Fat Zones" I still pull it out sometimes & it still works, I can feel it the next day!

    I liked doing the 30 Day Shred....until I tore my ACL in my knee(which I had to have surgery on) doing it.
    I haven't done it since.
    Hah, I mean don't let that keep you from doing it though.
    I'll probably start back on it soon, but I will have to do some alternatives for some of the moves.

    Yeah if you are going to start with the Shred, make sure you don't push yourself too far in the beginning. Take it easy and see what your body can do. Also, you have to be really careful with your form on the squats/lunges/etc - I hate that she does like a full set of them before she finally says 'oh, don't do this, it's bad for your knees' to show you improper form - she should do that at the beginning before you even do your first squat. Anyway, take care on the Shred that you don't over exert yourself before you know what you're capable of, and watch their form very carefully. For example, on those squats and lunges your knees should not be going farther forward than your toes, they should stay right over your feet and your butt should be going out behind you. Watch out for stuff like that.
