Exercise and Home Workout DVDs

If you want to get into some exercise to lose weight you might consider using home exercise DVDs. I have 4 of the Dummies DVDs which I find absolutely perfect for exercising at home. Here are the ones that I have tried and liked. These are basic home exercises for weight loss and health, not intended for gym bunnies and other super fit people.

The "15 Minute Workouts For Dummies" DVD is great for short daily strength training sessions. You do strength training on a different part of your body for 15 minutes each day and although it is quite vigorous its OK because it doesn't last long. Because it is every day it makes it much easier to form a habit and habits help when you are trying to get fit and lose fat. You simply decide on a good time and you will soon find I just becomes part of your daily routine. I use this DVD myself and I can reccomend it.

"Shaping Up With Weights for Dummies" This is a really good strength training workout DVD for beginners because it shows you how to get the correct form. It is important to do strength training exercises correctly to get the most out of your workout and so that you do not injure yourself.

This workout is 45 minutes long but it is quite leisurely. The instructor stops between each set and explains how to do it. You don't get up much of a sweat, but its very good for beginners or the older user. I think you would need to progress to something a bit more challenging after a few weeks. I certainly found that to be the case.

"Fat Burning For Dummies" For cardio exercise you can't beat this one. One of the reviewers on Amazon said she found it tricky to follow. I didn't, I loved this workout. Anything new that isn't so easy that its deadly boring requires a little bit of learning the first few times and this is no exception. You soon get the hang of it and it gives you a great endorphin high because it has you really moving. This is my favorite of all the Dummies weight loss DVDs.

"Fat to Firm Fitness Ball Workout" Here is yet another option in the Dummies weight loss DVD series. It is good to have a few of these workouts so that you don't get bored. I have this one and like it. You can have a really good workout using the ball and yet its gentle. The fitness balls are not expensive, you can get one at Amazon when you order the DVD.

I can recommend all of these weight loss workouts as I have used them myself. I have put the Dummies Weight Loss and fitness DVDs with links on the top right so that you can easily check them out.

The great thing about starting off your exercise at home is that you can put the pause button on when you need to and you needn't worry about how you think you look or about how co-ordinated you are!

Losing weight requires exercise, especially strength training exercise, and this is a great way to get into it. I highly recommend the Dummies Weight Loss workout DVDs.
