NGKUR: Exercise Videos

[RaeLynn28]

P90x is really good. They have a bunch of different workouts ranging from all different lengths of time. Do you have wii? There's a bunch of workout videos for it that are fun. My personal favorite is any of the Just Dance games.

I used to have a wii. I loved doing wii fit. Unfortunately, we got rid of it a couple years ago.

Yes, forgot about the wii fit. There are so many workout videos out there! You are bound to find one you like. Hopefully someone has a good one to share

[raelynn71109]

I love Zumba. I do it on the Wii, but they make workout DVDs too.

[ghostmonkey]

Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30.

I have a couple others but I never get to them.

[idkcobra]

I had the same issue for a while! I don't know what cable company you have but on demand has some workout videos you can watch and do. They even have some you can do with kids. You just have to weed through the crappy ones!

[anonymouseliza]

Comcast is the one with videos On Demand. Amazon Prime also offers some, but I've not explored outside yoga.

Jillian Michael's dvd's are good. You could also look into the 10-Minute Solutions dvd's - there's a wide variety available and they are 50 minutes each broken down into 10 minute segments so you can mix and match your workouts.

[papm951214]

YouTube also has some great ones including the Jillian Michaels DVDs. Sometimes I've just set my computer on the coffee table and watched from there. There's also some great workout regimines on Pinterest. They have maybe six exercises, and you do them three times in a sequence. This way you can watch your favorite 30 minute sitcom or something while you do it. Good luck!

[heatherj9603]

We just got a roku and there are all sorts of workout channels for free! I downloaded a few but I havnt had a chance to do any yet. It was 50 for the basic roku. 

[JulietRose]

I combined p90x and a walk and they worked really well for me. Especially since I'm epically great at never following through on a diet or workout plan. However, I actually followed through on these two things because they didn't involve a gym.

Seconded. Jillian Michaels is kind of a she-devil, but her workouts get results.

+1 I'm working on Body Revolution right now. I bought it used, so I didn't get all the extras (like the journal and resistance bands), but I like the format of it. Also: results.

[SheilaTheTank]

I use the wii U and got zumba world tour. Its the one workout that I actually enjoy doing. It "tracks" your calories burned which is a great motivator even if it isn't 100% accurate.

[nachobutt]

I LOVE Buti Yoga. It's so so fun. And I get an online subscription (which I haven't used because I've been ridiculously lazy). There's also a few free workouts on Youtube. I always feel so good afterwards.

[wormy42]

The only DVDs I've done was insanity and one of the Jillian Michaels yoga shreds. The insanity WAS insane. It gets crazy results, or at least it did for me while I was doing it, but it does really get you moving. A lot. Jillian's thing is good too, I used it when I was trying to up my flexibility. Hence the yoga... Its based on yoga moves, but more active movement less still stretching.

[teambrink]

I'm a Beachbody fan so my recommendations come from them. 

T25 - perfect for quick workouts. They are each 25 minutes and you are working hard the entire time so they lead to great results in a short amount of time. H and I have done this one together.

Piyo- probably my favorite. It's a blend of yoga and Pilates and helps with strength and flexibility. Most of the workouts are around 30 minutes or less. 

21Day Fix- I've only done a couple of these, but enjoy them so far. This program comes with an eating plan based on portion control. The workouts for this one are about 30 minutes long as well. 

[ohinvrtedworld]

Agreeing with suggestions for Jillian Michaels on Youtube -- her Yoga Meltdown one is good!

[scottiedogs4life]

Check out fitnessblender.com ! I found out about this site several months ago and have been obsessed esp now that it's winter and I can't work out outside. It's a young husband wife team that offer hundreds of workouts for free! There are paid workout and meal plans but there is so much great free content as well. They have lifting, hiit, other cardio like kickboxing, yoga and videos that combine many different exercises so you can get a complete workout.

Eta I like their tone better than JM - they are really easy going and funny but at the same time motivating. They also don't use music which is great bc I can put my own music on in the background

[PugMum]

I've been wanting to try piyo. teambrink Do you find you get a good workout? Do you work up a sweat with it?

I second this. Insanity is amazing and you see results FAST. I haven't done it in a while but now I really want to get back into it!

Just Googled this and now I have to try it. Do you go to a studio or just do the videos at home?

I've only ever done the online subscription, because there are no classes near me. I wish I could be consistent enough to become and instructor and go to the training. One day, maybe.  I like that it includes yoga, High intensity bodyweight exercises, and dancing. I always love they way I feel when I've made it through a video. They also have DVDs if you didn't want the monthly subscription. 

[expatmama11]

Definitely check out Jillian 30day shred. The whole video is around 28 minutes including stretching. It is intense but you can do the modified excericise. My husband even likes to do those videos because it is a kick ass workout in such a short time. Like others have mentioned, you can watch for free on YouTube.

The other thing you should check out is toneitup.com
Those girls have great routines and they are fun!

[LadyNymeria]

I have Chalene Extreme from Beachbody and really like it. Although I fell out of my workout routine and have been struggling to get back into it. It's like P90X but not as intense.

[mainewifey]

I like 30 day shred, and her Rippped in 30 DVD. I do Insanity as well, which I really like. But a many of the videos are going to be longer than you have time for unless you skip the stretch at the end.

[thewickedfairy]

Late the conversation and didn't read all of it so please excuse me if I'm repeating. I've done the first month of Insanity and I can tell you that while I was sore I got very good workouts from that. I've only ever done one of the videos for P90X but it was amazing.

ETA: Wii or the Kinect on XBox is also good to use of you have one. I know that Nike+ has a thing for XBox as well as Zumba.

[kellybenelly83]

DH and I started this in October
ddpyoga.com/

We love it, DH has lost 20 pounds and is dangerously close to having defined abs, I havent lost much, but I was pregnant/benched for a few of those weeks so I was doing the "lite" version of it and not really trying.

I used to do Insanity and I liked it a lot, but I had a hard time keeping up.

[wirt2cute]

I know they are really cheesy, but I love the Walk Away The Pounds videos, especially the 3 mile walk. I have to silence the lady and put on my own music but it makes me sweet. I also you tube twerk exercise and bounce around in my living room.

[negirl824]

If you have amazon prime you can stream a whole bunch of work out videos for free. I plan on starting to test some out and see which ones I like the most. From there I will pick one to stick to.

[3houlagirl]

I use fitness blender on YouTube a lot. Plus there's a chick named Brett Larkin who has a bunch of great yoga sequences on YouTube, too. She has beginner and intermediate, from 15 minutes all the way up to an hour and a half. I like her tone; not overly hippy-dippy and it's clear she puts thought into the sequences.

It is absolutely a great workout! I work up a sweat with every single one of the workouts and when I did the full program this summer my abs were amazing!
