I'm bh having a family simcha in about two months and I really want to lose the last fifteen pds I gained when expecting dd. I really don't have time for a formal class or anything, but was wondering if anyone used a good exercise dvd?

If you are looking for something that helps you sweat and tone and get a good workout but is not too crazy intense, you should try the Ellen Barrett dvd series. My friend just introduced me to them and I am looving her. She basically combines pilates and stretching with cardio so you get a 45 minute workout that really makes you sweat and feel sore the next day (so you know u did something worthwhile) but it doesn't make you feel too winded and its totally doable. I recommend Fat Fusion (one of her dvd's).

totally agree! It was difficult the first few days, but then I got used to it. I love the part that its only 25 minutes and I see reuslts.

I love the insanity work outs. But they aren't the easiest. But you can start off at a slower pace.

Also Turbo Jam. So much fun.

Just find something you enjoy!

I love Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. It's hard but short, only 20 minutes.

I like this one:

It is pretty intense the first few times, but if you stick with it, it gets easier, although you still feel like you're getting a great workout.

Leslie Sansone is nice if you want something a little less intense.

to the pppl who use jillian michaels. how in shape are you? the twenty min part is enticing, I really don't have forty five min a day, but the only exercise I do is walking and I'm tired from nursing and caring for dd. can anyone advise?

Yes, I borrowed a few of her dvd's from the library & kept renewing them for a while. (I try to borrow exercise dvd's from the library before buying them so that I can try them out & see if I like the workout.) I enjoyed them, but I wanted something more challenging so I didn't end up buying them. I am a bit of an exercise nut though Smile

, & I do a lot of intense exercise, so for me it wasn't enough. I have a friend who uses her dvd's every day.

If you don't have energy for something too intense, Leslie Sansone might be a good option for you.

Check out a sample clip from one of her dvd's and see if you like her style:

(just click on the "play clip" option)

Are you more interested in a toning dvd?

Here are 2 toning dvd's that I own and like:

[b] I love the firm, you can get them at the library and the newest ones don't use the step. it is a mix of cardio and weights, there is always a beginner in the video with out weights. Most of them have a short on time option so if the video is 45-55 minutes you can do the express option that is 25-35 minutes.

I have this dvd

http://www.amazon.com/Denise-A.....=8-20

it's very 90's and sometimes she's off the music but it's a great DVD, sometimes I have trouble getting through the whole dvd without modifying, but now that I do exercise out of the house regular I have improved my stamina and I'm more able to get through it. Its kickboxing.
