JMDRAD Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I need some recommendations for exercise videos that deal with strength training. I've never really done strength training. I can tell I keep getting weaker and weaker all over but my back/core is pathetically weak. We just had our last baby (hopefully) a year ago. I'm about 50 pounds overweight right now (my profile pic is old). I've got a Waters Tsunami Pro indoor cycle that I really love for cardio. I also enjoy walking. But I would really like some videos that would run me through a strength training program. I really need the interaction rather than just reading through exercises in magazines. So I'm looking for a video that would help with all over strength but really target the core. TIA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Jillian Michael's No More Trouble Zones is what immediately pops into my mind. It's 45 minutes and uses 3lb weights, but you can increase your weights as you get stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I love kettlebell for strength training. I have this DVD by Lauren Brooks. Any time you do any strength training you have to be careful of your form. The DVD includes a teaching section (how to do each move), as well as a 40 minute workout, and a 12 minute workout. I love the 12 minute one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosyne Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Anything by Team Beachbody is pretty good, IMO. I personally love P90X/P90X2. Depending on your current fitness level, though, you may want to start with P90... but P90X would be doable for most people if you're willing to take breaks.

MIch elle Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Bob Harper's is my favorite because they are only ~30 min. each workout and he shows you easy, medium and harder ways for each workout usually. http://www.amazon.co...ords=bob harper I suggest starting with NO weights just to get the hang of the workout and then add light weights and increase as you get stronger. This has helped me to now do JM Body Revolution. My teenage sons do P90X and that is WAY too hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
