Recommend your work out DVD

I gained 60 pounds during my pregnancy..Yikes. I was always tall and thin, and did some moderate exercise before and during pregnancy, mostly walking and elliptical. Well Im still tall but not so thin anymore.

Anyway..I am almost 5 weeks pp and have lost only 18 pounds so far, and my LO was 10 plbs at birth..ugh.Ithought I was going to lose more than that by now I have walked and did cardio but havent started any other kind of work out, since I have to wait 6 week after my c-section.

Anybody has good experince with any work out DVD?

Re: Recommend your work out DVD

  • The Firm has a new one out that looks really good.  Only twenty minutes 3x a week.  It is called Thin in 30.  I haven't done this but have had success with The Firm.

    I personally love the videos Supreme 90 Day.  It is very much like P90x but not as long.  You get 11 DVDs for $20.  Sold at Target (not online though) and on HSN.

     

    Good luck!

  • I, too, gained a TON of wieght with DD-- I credit Leslie Sansone and her walkaerobics DVDs to losing it all in about 10 weeks (I lost 55 lbs, gained 50).  You can do as little as one mile or as many as 5, depends what DVD you buy.  Check her out on Amazon, I LOVE her!

    I'm doing Supreme 90 Day also and I like it as well. I got it at BB&B for $15 ($20-$5 coupon).

  • It's not a DVD but I got really good results from these:

    especially the 'Bootcamp for Tummies' which was much needed after two babies...!Big Smile

  • So far I have been super happy with Jilian Michael's 30 Day Shred. After only 5 days of doing it people have been telling me that they see a difference in my body. It's a hard workout but is only 20 minutes so you can get through it! I was super sore the first 3 days but now (I'm on day 7) I no longer feel sore and I can make it through the workout much easier.

    Do you need weight for 30 day shred?

    THIS!!! 

    I'm a Walk Away the Pounds fanantic!! I have the dvd with the variations of the 3 mile and 5 mile walks. If you really move and keep up with music it is awesome. At 14 weeks I workout 5 days a week since the Dr. advice that I chill on the high impact training.

    For a "body pump" type workout, I love Jari Love's DVD.  They are challenging but keep you HR going as you don't rest between sets.

  • I feel you--I gained more than I cared to with DD1 and only lost 12 pounds when she was born! And I was not one of those moms who lost weight by BFing.  

    My favorite cardio/interval/toning is Turbo Jam (avail at BeachBody.com, or on Amazon). Love the instructor, and it is super fun and effective.

    After I had DD1, I also bought the 30 minute express workout from Physique57.com. Love it love it love it. It is cardio barre, so kind of a ballet/pilates/cardio fusion, and it never gets easy or boring. And it's quick, so you can squeeze it in during baby's nap time. 

     I actually still do both of these with modifications during this pregnancy.

  • Personally, I think P90X is the best workout DVD(s) out there.  If you really stick to the program and eat right, there's no reason why the weight won't melt away.  Keep in mind, though, that the X stands for extreme, so only start once you're sure you can follow through.  These workouts are no joke, but they're so fun!
