On the topic of strength workouts I have Burn and Firm Pilates (does that count?) and DA's Shrink Your Female Fat Zones. A couple of my step vids have a strength component to them (cathe is one). That's it. I think that I am an intermediate exerciser, just new to the "at home" stuff, since I have little ones and can't go to the gym. I was thinking of trying some of the beachbody stuff??? I like the one Cathe step vid that I have, so maybe she would be good for me too? Let me know what you think.

And, there are tons of other strength workouts that you can choose from. There are AWT (aerobic weight training) workouts and the Firm (and others) have many of these workouts. There are functional fitness workouts. And, of course, there is Pilates and yoga. Pilates really helped me to start strengthening my core. Good luck with your search. I'd suggest reading until you see a trend in what you might enjoy. And, post your questions.

What Laura said! She gave you some really great suggestions. And, I agree that almost any weight workout can be grown into.

I am new to this site, this is only my third post! Have been lurking for a few weeks though and LOVE THIS SITE!! Can't contain my enthusiasm!
I am a wife and Mom to my beautiful 2 1/2 year old daughter. I am currently following my dream of being a freelance writer. We just bought a house in the country (move in 3 weeks) and I have to leave the gym that I love. I am really looking forward to workouts at home though. I think it will be a great change and I can work on more what my body needs, not go through my usual gym routine. I have been an athlete all my life, I have to do something physical every day to hold onto the sane parts of me. I have also been a personal trainer for the last 10 years and am passionate about fitness and nutrition. I have been obsessed with yoga for the last 6 months, and don't see that ever stopping. Since I am new to the home video scene, I am taking any and all suggestions for videos to start my library. |

Shelley,
I saw you over in another thread, but, officially, welcome to VF. Hope you find the info, motivation, and suggestions you need to get started and keep going for a long time! I know your brain is probably ready to explode with all the info you are absorbing, but have you found the check-in section yet? You might want to check it out when you run out of other things to look at. There are many check-ins, where people post in smaller, more targeted groups about their workouts. Some are daily, others are weekly, some are monthly. Off the top of my head, some check-ins you might be interested include: > the yoga check in > a moms' check in > the daily morning check in > I know there HAS to be a strength check in, probably several Being part of a check in has given me an incredible amount of info, but, more importantly, a smaller group to interact with. It might be a good thing to have a group like that when you are out in the country...
