Has anyone purchased any excercise equipment or tapes that they actually felt worked for them?

Its almost impossible for me to get out the house with both kids in this heat to workout and the hubby is to tired to watch them by himself by the time he gets home from work. So, has anyone bought some type of excercise machine or tapes that they felt were actually worth it? Im not looking to target any particular area…just an all over workout to get back into shape.

Answer #1

Any equiptment or videos will work really, as long as you’re consistent with it. Ones I’ve had success with are the 29 minute workout video and the Mari Winsor pilates DVDs (I used the ab and thigh ones). I want to also try the shake weight, it looks really effective.

Answer #2

I feel like someone willing to lose weight and exercise does fine without tapes. Generally the people who buy tapes are the ones who will buy them, use them once, and go back to lamenting the fact that they don’t exercise. Personally, if I was looking for some ideas for fun or new workouts I would try Youtube first for ideas and go from there. Another thing s I use, which is a lot of fun-though costly, is the Kinect for the Xbox 360.

My mom always uses jane fonda’s work out tape. she used it months after she had a C-section with me,and she still uses it i’ve also used it and found it effective. she also uses a rowing machine which helped her build muscle back into her legs and arms.

Answer #4

the 1982 work out tape that is.

Answer #5

After I had my daughter I worked out to “TAE-BO” with Billy Blanks theres 2 cd’s. After 6 weeks of that 6 days a week and eating decent and drinking water alot I lost 45 pounds…:) Good Luck; and you look great already!!

Answer #6

i think the Dancing With the Stars discs help. It’s like a 50 minute workout and you really sweat from it

Answer #7

I recently purchased an elliptical and a Gold’s Gym Platinum home gym. They take up quite a bit of space, but I have noticed my stamina and strength increasing. My best friend has been doing P90X and she is loving it. She tells me that she is starting to see a difference, but its a little tough to stick with the program.

Answer #8

My mom bought the biggest loser package… As long as you don’t cheats it works very well :))
