Trivium Academy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'd like to find an exercise video for me that I can do in 10-15 min. a day for a complete body workout. I'm not looking for a meal plan, just a work out. I know results are better and faster with a better diet but I'm doing the best I can now. Any recommendations? It's hard to shop these online without a solid recommendation-hoping not to waste money... oh and I'm a terrible dancer, lacking coordination :blush: I'm asking for a video b/c we have no space for exercise equipment.

Chris in VA Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 What have you tried in the past? Am I correct in recalling you and your kids did Tae Bo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trivium Academy Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yes, we have Tae Bo Kicks which is the kids exercise video and I like it alot. Duh, I need to see what I can rent from Netflix...but recommendations are still good. Off to see what Netflix has... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsdash Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I like Lara Hudson's 10 min. Pilates. There are a lot of different 10 min. workout videos that you may like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I couldn't stand to do the same thing everyday, so maybe you could do 3 days of core work and 3 days of weights with a video? I'm happy to see you are taking care of your health. You are a good example of that to me! Oh, and I really liked Kathy Griffith (you know, Regis' old partner?) work out tapes (back when they were tapes!) but I think they were more like 20 mins.

Michele B Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I like Ellen Barrett. You can watch several instantly on Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudoMom Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'd recommend the Leslie Sansone Walk At Home 5 Mile Walk. This video is different from her other videos in that it's 5 completely separate 1 mile walks. The shortest mile is around 9 minutes, and the longest is 15 1/2 minutes. You can do as many of the 1 mile walks you want, so you can customize the time spent. One of the walks uses light hand weights, one uses a fitness band (comes with the video), and one uses a walk-belt (I use the fitness band or weights). These don't take a lot of coordination (you walk, do knee lifts, side steps, and kicks mostly), and I've done them in hotel bathrooms while on vacation, so they don't take a lot of space.

5wolfcubs Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 If you have even a small space in front of your computer, check out SparkPeople Videos. The 10 Minute Jump Start Cardio only needs about a 5' square and will really give you an intense workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trivium Academy Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 :hurray::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::hurray: Y'all are great, I'm feeling good physically b/c of working outside of the home but I want to build strength/stamina and lose weight but losing weight isn't my ultimate goal. I want to be healthy in every way I can. Thank you so much for your recommendations, I'm very grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Have you looked at T-Tapp? The TappCore program is designed for kids and their adults, and you can do as little or as much as you want. I think it's a great workout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamnkats Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) If you want a full body workout, you can't beat Ashtanga Yoga or simply 5 A's and 5 B's (sun salutations). Upper body,cardio, lower body, abs, back, you get it all in just 5 a's and 5 B's. Here is an A she "cheats" and doesn't jump back or through, but gives you a beginner's view http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-kgxlBNink&NR=1 Here is a B by the same lady above http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W4DlglC4ic this has verbal instructions looking for videos, I found this one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOYln-ciw9s - the comments are the best part! :) Edited December 9, 2008 by jamnkats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH_Homeschooler Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I love some of the recommendations above (Ellen Barrett is my favorite!) but I'm not sure they help with your time constraints. There is a series of 10-Minute Workouts, usually packaged as 5 ten-minute workouts that you can do separately or together. This one's my favorite: http://www.collagevideo.com/workout-video/the-10-minute-solution-9442 If you go to that link you can search for other 10 Minute Solution workouts.

I started this yesterday, I start at the one mile and work my way up. Its great for people to reintro exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
