Good workout video?

IloveJAV · January 2009

I have decided I am going to start getting up a little bit earlier in the mornings and I am going to do a workout video. Do you ladies have any recommedations? I saw a pretty cool one on TV the other day but I dont remember what it was called..something with ballroom dancing moves.:)

I just got a couple of the Dancing With the Stars videos from Target. They were $13 each. I tried the one with Cheryl Burke (the Latin dancing). I really like it. It's fun so you don't feel like you are working out but it does work up a sweat.

Lots of girls on the nest talk highly of the 30 day shred... It intimates me so I haven't tried it.

30 day shred intimidated me, too, but I just did day 3 of phase one, and I can already tell a difference in my stamina during the workout.

OrigPoster: DH and I are starting the same thing tomorrow morning...I'll do a DVD workout, he'll ride his indoor cycle trainer. I'll be thinking of you then!

I don't know the last time I did a video was in college and it was a good workout mostly because I laughed my arse off. My neighbor thought we were crying and something was wrong we were laughing so hard as we did it.

If you want to burn calories mostly by laughing and somewhat by exercise try any Sweatin to the Oldies

It's kind of an old series, but I like "Walk Away the Pounds." I have 4 of the videos. They are 15-60 minutes. I like that I can do the 15 minute one when I don't have much time, but still feel like I got a little bit of a workout in.

I like the original Pump it up! Dance workout. There were two other's that came out after the original which are good, but not as intense. I LOVE the music, keeps me motivated.

I personally looove Yoga Booty Ballet. It's a little cheesy, but it gives me the tightest buns (when I actually do the DVD, that is)

10 Minute Solution: Blast Off Belly Fat (they are split into 10 min workouts)

I think DH picked it up for me at Linens and Things last year....I imagine you can find it at Walmart....or I would try amazon.com

Oh, and you need 2lb hand weights with it. Mine came with a little ball that you use for the ab section to squeeze between your thighs.....but hopefully it comes with yours too (you can use a pillow if not)

IloveJAV · January 2009

Sounds good. I will look around today in walmart, if they dont have anything good, I will order it online.:) Does it work your abs good too?

elizabow · January 2009

Yes, it BURNS!!!!! lol! I like the "intermediate" one the best...the "advanced" is all cheesy dancing. The intermed one has toning, abs, yoga, low impact cardio.....everything. Hope you like it!!!

elizabow · January 2009

I just looked on Walmart, and they have it on-line but not in stores (free shipping to your store, though). This is the one I have (pink and orange)

Yoga Booty Ballet 2 Disc Kit: Yoga Booty Ballet / Yoga Booty Ballet Live

IloveJAV · January 2009

Sounds good. Maybe I will get both..the booty ballet and the 30 day shred!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 30 day shred. There are 3 levels and you do each level for 10 days. I'm on the 2nd day of level 3. I have found each level hard at the beginning and by day 10, I'm able to do all the hard versions (they show you easy and hard versions of most of the moves) but still sweating up a storm. I don't do the days consecutively since I do other workouts in between but I can't rave enough about this video. You can try it out first on your TV if you have video on-demand. You'll need some light handweights (5 lbs or less) and that's about it. My husband even does it with me some days so it's not a wimpy girly thing either.
