Sounds like we have a lot in common... although my little ones are now 4 and 5... I used to run with them all the time in strollers. Of course they'd have none of that now. I also teach and understand the time crunch you are under. THE BEST workouts on DVD that I have found are TURBO JAM. I never ever worked out in my home before these DVD's and now I am hooked. They are fun, energetic and they really make you want to come back for more. I started out with the 2 disk, 5 workout set and ended up buying hand weights to bump up the calorie burn and then 4 more DVDs in Chalene Johnson's series after just a short time. Now I have a nice variety and never ever get sick of working out. The workouts range from 20 to 50 minutes and are primarily kickboxing. My knees have seen better days (from all that running) and I never feel pain there anymore. I lost over 25 pounds in about 3 months working out with a few times a week and following weight watchers. Your body WILL change! Go to www.beachbody.com and order right from there. They are awesome -- I PROMISE!!!
Hi,
I have a good dvd for pilates called "Pilates for Dummies", which has a beginner and intermediate workout on it. Each lasts about 20 minutes if you do all exercises. Tae Bo dvd are pretty good for a workout, and work whole body, and they don't take too long.
There is nothing like some good ol' Taebo. I love Billy Blanks and he continues to keep me hype and intrigue to workout. Sometimes, I like my workout to be fun so I would also recommend Carmen Electra Strip Tease collection of dvds. DVD 2 will really get your working out hard. I also heard that Biggest Loser's Jillian workout dvd are excellent too. Have fun!
