What I have found useful is recording some of the workouts from the fitness channels, deleting most of them straight away, but there have been a few that I found put things at a good pace without doing silly dance moves that should never be attempted by any dads.0

haha, I was going to suggest the biggest loser dvd, "The Workout." Jillian actually isn't in it, Bob Harper is. It is a great workout DVD for beginners, and not expensive at all.0 -
anybody else?0

I really enjoy the Biggest Loser DVDs. I love the Power Walk (less than $10 on Amazon), Cardio Max, and Cardio Max Weight Loss Edition. You can choos not to do the workouts with Jillian and I think the only one that has a Jillian Workout (that I listed) is the Cardio Max. I hope this helps!0

See, I don't want her getting even 1 penny of my money.0

I like the Extreme Makeover DVD at walmart with Chris Powell, it's what I started with at 285, there are REAL people with REAL weight on them. They had good modifications too if you have stress on your knees or ankles.0
-
Richard Simmon's Sweating to the oldies is good for beginners. Also I like Jackie Warner's workouts too.0

I could use some suggestions for resistance training DVDs that I can follow at home in my living room-thanks for the above suggestions btw...0

Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds. It's low impact and very effective for beginners.

I get them from Wal-mart or target for under $10 and they are worth every penny. Best wishes :flowerforyou:0 -
I won't mention Jillian DVDs(blech!)
Free/inexpensive starters:
Local library rents DVDs / Netflix streams a few DVD / Netflix rental - tons of videos. Hulu.com has an exercise & fitness channel - streams videos
Walk at Home (Leslie Sansone) are really good cardio starters AND bump up the intensity later on for an intermediate workout .... here's a clip to see what these are:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnsfbneFQ_8&feature=related
Target, KMart, Walmart sell these $10. Biggest Loser Power Walk is not Jillian ... however the music is horrible.
Tae Bo videos are fun. This is Billy Blanks. "This is Tae Bo" is a new one, just the right speed (some are really too fast for me). Again not very expensive.
Not terribly cheap ..... Kelly Coffey Meyers is excelent. She has a series called 30 Minutes to Fitness. Motivating without being obnoxious. Collagevideo.com will have reviews & videos clips so you can find the fitness level, and equipment needed. Kelly offers low impact variations throughout.0 -
Scott Cole's Discover Tai Chi for Weight Loss. It's extremely low impact and has a slightly faster tempo than traditional tai chi. And it's a martial art, so less of a girly factor0

This and if you have netflix or cable there are a few good beginner selections.
Also outdoor walking, bike riding..Start slow and do more as your comfortable.
Good job on starting:-)0 -

If you like the idea of a walking workout ... walk in place, side step in place, knee lifts in place ... very simple, non-dancey aerobics.
Walk it Off with George is another idea. These are a whole series of walking videos with George Foreman (Petra Kolber leads). I don't think Leslie Sansone is "girlie" ..... but if you think her voice will irritate .... look for a music only option fir Leslie on collagevideo.com
The George Foreman series is excellent for men (and women) .... Circiut Walk is a good beginner DVD & CHEAP on Amazon0 -

Why?
because I can't stand her.0 -
OH, I wouldn't call myself a beginner.... I can hang with 75 minutes of cardio.0

Go to your library and borrow a few and check them out for free before you invest in any.0
