What workout DVD would you recommend?

[tmfranlk]

I am trying to decide what kind of workout DVD to purchase. I am leaning towards yoga (strengthening and toning) or pilates, but I'm not sure what to get.

What DVDs do you enjoy?

Hi Tia,

I use the WATP tapes and I also have the Windsor Pilates set (tho I've strayed from using both lately to focus more on the treadmill). I enjoy both - the Pilates one kicks my butt!!

Nothing to offer to you about yoga - sorry.

I know alot of people here on WISH use the WATP tapes or the Firm tapes.....hopefully someone can offer a recommedation for yoga.

Good luck!

Hiya!

I have been doing yoga now for a month.
I picked up a DVD from wal-mart, for $5, by Louise Solomen.
I love it!
Highly recommend yoga to everyone.
I have sciatica from an inflamed vertebrae, it affects my right leg and foot. What a difference doing the yoga has done. No more pain when I wake up or while sleeping. Saved me from chiropractic visits.

Any rate, the DVD I have is a beginners yoga/pilates workout.
I also ordered from overstock.com a video, Yoga for Dummies, which takes you through twelve basic poses. I enjoy it as well.

If you are serious about the yoga, then you can find supplies much cheaper on Ebay than in a store. Mats, stretch bands, blocks.

I use a camping mat and lay a towel over it. Use two folded hand towels for support/cushions. Ordered the bands on ebay.

Good luck! It is tougher than it appears and after one month, I am seeing a real difference in my arms. More strength and muscle tone.
