For the last month or so, I've been going back and forth and back again - Anytime Fitness, Legacy Center, Bootcamp. It's too cold to run at
night, so I need to get back on track with working out, but couldn't decide the best time or place to go. Luckily, my cousin's wife (Katie) is gung ho about working out with me and they just moved in a few houses down. So, we came up with a workout routine to do at home that will work with our girlies. Now we just need enough fabulous workout videos to keep us going.
Right now, we're doing the 20 minute Windsor Pilates workout in the morning and we're going to mix it up with an exercise ball video. At night, we're going to do an Ultimate Belly Dancing DVD on Monday and Wednesday and Billy Blanks BootCamp on Tuesday, Thursday. The Belly Dancing DVD and Bootcamp are being shipped to my house. Does anyone in my neighborhood have something we can borrow in the meantime? We're also looking for a good short Yoga recommendation to do in the morning. I can only handle the slow stuff for a short time in the morning. At night, I want to move fast and sweat (with the exception of the belly dancing because it's fun and gives me awesome abs). I'm sure we're going to need recommendations to mix it up in the future, and with Amazons amazing prices, I can handle investing in a nice workout DVD collection. So, what's your favorite workout DVD???

I'm impressed you can do videos. I've never been able to stick with them. I did a palates one for a while, but I just got bored! Now I'm sure I'd just get interupted!
What a cute Christmas Layout!
Ok, so seriously, I have this video (VHS) that I've been using since High School. It's hilarious (so 80's - it was even old then), but I feel like I get great results so I still use it (when not prego). You can borrow it if you want to try it b4 u buy it. It's Gilad Bodies in Motion. It has aerobics & toning. It's long (about 45 minutes), and it kills me - especially the toning part. It's good for a laugh too.
This is the one I have - my cover is a little different, but it's also VHS.

I agree with the first commenter - I'm not crazy about workout videos either. I much rather go to the gym and do weights and cardio on the machines. But, if you're interested in getting good yoga stuff, check out the Gaiam line. I like the yoga conditioning for weight loss dvd (it adapts to your level), but there's lots of great ones in that line(like yoga for specific times of day, prenatal yoga, qi gong, tai chi, that sort of thing). Good luck!
I am in the same boat. I have been slacking big time with working out... I need a good workout video I can do early in the morning or at nights when ellie is sleeping for the days I can't get to the gym Let me know what ones you like best and find affective.
I have some workout videos you are welcome to borrow, I should be using them but I don't!
