Looking for a beginner fat loss program 20-30 mins
Due to some personal issues and health issues I have fallen off the fitness wagon and am looking to restart working out again. It hasn't been a very long break probably a couple of months so I'm not looking for something extremely beginner like the powerfits more like the high beginner range. Preferably a system that covers strength, cardio and flexibility and is about 20-30 mins. Medium impact is fine.
Thanks so much! |

project you with kathy smith, 10 pound slimdown with chris freytag.
some of the older weight watcher sets are pretty comprehensive - Next Move with Michelle Dozois, Get Moving Mix with Petra Kolber. these 2 WW sets have 5, 20 to 30-min workouts that cover cardio, strength, core, etc. the re-filmed P90 with Tony horton also comes to mind.

https://www.amazon.com/F%C3%A9-Fit-W...RMZR59PK7JJZY6 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ODASJOC?psc=1 Cathe's ICE series is also great and there are shorter Timesaver premixes. A friend of mine purchased the Jillian Michael's "Killer" dvds (Killer Abs, Killer Buns & Thighs etc) which each have 3 progressively harder 30 minute workouts and she made her own rotation. She had good results. She also bought her Yoga Inferno dvd. |

I'd definitely recommend Tony Horton's P90.

I really like 21 day fix, because there is an really helpful modifier-Cat. and the workouts are 30 minutes, and fly by, nothing too crazy, and the modified moves are very doable. and don't forget to allow yourself a step touch move if you need a break.You don't have to do it perfectly, you'll get there!good luck!

 )I was pleasantly surprised at how accessible it was (modifications shown). I do wish there was more flexibility included -- the cool down stretches are pretty minimal (I need more), so I just tack it on at the end. This is my first time using a BB system as a complete rotation (as designed). |

I ditto Jeannine on the Weight Watchers DVDs. The Get Moving mix with Petra is high beginner/low intermediate. I didn't click with the WW Next Move DVD, but the WW Start Getting Healthy with Michelle Dozois is REALLY good, and I'd say intermediate.

I highly recommend Weight Loss Cardio Sculpt, which has 2 workouts with Violet Zaki, each 20 minutes (35 minutes with the warmup and -excellent- cooldown). I alternate this DVD with Weight Loss Cardio Kick. Same instructor, two more excellent and concise 30min programs. I think these are really great value for the money -- they are super cheap on Amazon. They feature a beginner modifier but have a surprising little punch to them!

Michelle Dozois & Lisa Wheeler workouts
Welcome back! I've been there.
Lisa Wheeler's Weight Watchers 10 Minute Belly, Butt & Thigh Tone-Ups - absolutely no dread factor. 10 minute segments that can be done with only 1 set of weights. Very nicely choreographed, no wasted moves. Lisa always has a "special" move at the end of a set of workout moves. It always leaves me feeling good - worked out but not overly exhausted. Lisa Wheeler's Weight Watchers 7 Day Tone & Burn - has two 30 min workouts, one sculpting & one cardio. Also nicely choreographed, fun, good to progress with. Michelle Dozois' Pick Your Level Fat to Firm Fast is awesome. I can follow along with the beginner, intermediate or advanced and not feel left out. Just enough cardio to feel worked and good solid strength training with only 1 or 2 sets of weights. These can all be purchased for < $10 each.

Of course I'm going to recommend the FIRM and Fitprime/Kickbutts:
Anything from Fitness Favorites are well chaptered and many beginner options. Most workouts you can grow with in reference to upping the weights and adding in segments. I use the full range from beginner to advanced and love the variety. Tracie Long also has many options and some shorter 15-20 minute premixes.
