    Check out your local library, as well as you tube channels. Or even amazon fromprivate sellers for a specific dvd. Target had 30 day shred on clearnace last week. Yours may still have them.

    ^^^^ That ^^^^

    There are always exercise videos at the library - and no one seems to use them!

    You can find workout videos online for free - like the 30 Day Shred & whatnot.

    i wasn't aware of that! Thats great!

    You dont mean through a bittorrent site, do you? :noway:

    No. It is on youtube and put out by the makers of the videos. It is the 1st level of them so you can try them.

    Like someone else mentioned, if you have Netflix streaming (@ $8 a month) they have a lot of different exercise videos...I like the ones that are 10 minutes long- they usually have 5 workouts per video that you can pick and choose which ones to do, so you can do as many or as few as you want at a time. That way you don't get bored!

    Self.com has TONS of free workout videos that come with a free online membership. No illegal pirating required :happy:

    Pushups are really good for that "lift" you were asking about as well. Happy toning!:flowerforyou:

    Here are those videos... his You Tube Channel is "andymcd23." Some of it's advanced - but you can pick and choose what you want. He has a lot of videos... but the ones I liked are:

    1. Free Workout: http://youtu.be/hPSt-xY6sbw (this one is my "second" favorite)

    2. Total Body Exercise Ideas: http://youtu.be/kck8Qu699tA (this one uses dumbells)

    3. Exercises Without Weights: http://youtu.be/_UEjUQRKOKk (this one is way advanced for me... but took some ideas from it.)

    4. Core Exercises Without Equipment: http://youtu.be/EaYeGviEzT8 (this one is actually my favorite!)

    Enjoy!!!

    If you can manage to save a few dollars here and there try going to garage sales and thrift stores for excercise equipment and videos. You'd be surprised at what you can get. My sister in law just picked up a $1500 treadmill for $50. People get gung ho and then the equipment becomes clothes hangers, so they just want it gone. Also if you have a Ross store nearby they always have great deals. I got the Jillian Michael's mat and weights that go with 30 day shred for $8.

    Great ideas! Thanks everyone! Anyone know things that are safe to do with a bum knee? I hurt it the other day while trying a cardio DVD and now it is driving me crazy! I am going to get the doctor to x-ray it soon as I am really concerned about it (it pops, crunches, and make weird noises).

    You can check workout DVDs out of the public library for free! It also enables you to get some nice variety since you can switch it up easily. Just keep track of the due dates to avoid fines (or maybe that's just me :-) ).

    Honestly... I would really rest it. If the doc says it's okay - swimming, water walking, water aerobics, cycling (generally), and pilates are all good options. But for now, rest it and get it checked out. You really don't want to further mess up a knee (or any joint for that matter). If you're going nuts and HAVE to exercise - maybe sit in a chair or on lay a bench and do some upper body stuff if you have dumbells or soup cans. Shoulder press, bicep curls, tricep extensions, chest press, etc. But don't stress that knee!

    Hope you feel better soon!
