Me and my husband have not worked out in many years and want to get started again. Which program do you suggest to start out slow?

I would start with the blue DVD, the first work out 'mark, move and groove' . The next work outs get progressively harder.

Truthfully, anything with light aerobics which will help with losing weight. Then you can start adding hand weights or circuit training (spending 30s to 1m per exercise) which will tone as well as trim. If you don't work off excess weight before toning you might just find yourself building muscle underneath flab meaning the flab is what will show. Shaun Ts workout (any one of them) can help but they do not start off easy so don't expect to make it through right away. Note how much you did the last time compared to the present time rather than how much you can't do. Remember, that the best time to work out is when you don't feel like it because afterward you realize how great you feel and it makes working out when you're in the mood easy as pie. I hope this he

This is going to be quite a workout if you haven't exercised in years. Take it slow and reduce the movements to make it work for you. You can use any of the workouts if you tailor them to your level of ability but know these will be tough anyway.

I'd recommend doing Alpha and Beta first. I was in "decent" shape, (had given birth 6 months ago), I had not worked out in 2 years, and when I started with Alpha I struggled at the beginning. I did a lot of modifiers at the beginning but managed to complete the program, and improve my physical condition a 100%. I just finished Gamma but I don't think I could have started with Gamma.

Yes. I think it's fine. I am in my early 60's and I could get through it first time. But a month later I sustained a serious skull fracture in a fall which causes me to have dizzy spells so I couldn't continue Zumba. For anyone reasonably fit its fine and it will get you breathing hard for sure. I stated easy and took pause breaks during the work out to catch my breath, it didn't take but a few times when I really didn't need to pause. It's a fun work out.

I think the Gymboss is simple to use. Unfortunately its manual was not detailed enough for me, but I found a great video on youtube and it showed me everything I needed for my interval training.

Kat, if you are 'just' starting to workout then the BBL would be a good starting point. I'm between intermediate and advanced and didn't even break a sweat with it. So definitely wouldn't recommend for anyone BUT beginners.

I've used turbo Jam before, but no other programs. new to fitness myself. they clearly tell you to eat better when you do this. a diet diary is a effective tool to help. As for Turbo Fire. I am seeing results in the first 3 weeks of doing it, but i am also doing the diet diary and the food watching. Which by doing that it helps you with the program. you can't sit and eat potatoe chip and pork rinds and hope this program will work. Its a change in ways. But I'd recommend it if you are willing to put the work into it---DO IT :)

You can start with vol 2 if you'd like. I've done only vol 2 and was able to get through all the videos. There is a modifier so just do what you can and you will build up to all the reps or doing the most challenging of options. It's a great program you won't be disappointed wherever you start. I hope that helps :)

Move on to P90x3 if you want to continue short workouts. After doing two cycles of p90x3 and now starting p90x2, I become more and more disenchanted by the amount of time I spent with T25 and the lack of results. I see some people got amazing results with it, but for me, after alpha, beta and gamma, I had barely dropped 4 lbs. After moving on to x3, I dropped almost 10 lbs and started to see a lot of definition and there wasn't any major change in my diet between programs. Fairly or not, I look at T25 as simply a cardio program with a little bit of weight stuff thrown in there. Insanity might be the way to go if you are willing to commit to the longer workouts, but for short workouts, I don't know that you can do better than x3 for hitting the total body. You won't get that gasping for air effect that you do in T25, but I do believe you will get results. Good luck

I found it to be easy to follow. There are 3DVDs in the set. There is one segment called "Total body workout" that I really like. You can start off easy and work your way up.

Start w/this one... 3 days will be easy and 2 of them may take a few weeks to keep up w/...but you can do it!!! After the 2nd wk challenge yourself to go heavy:). Piyo is tough..but good!

I applaud you for such a great goal! The #1 thing you can do is proper diet - above all else. This program can help you do high intensity workouts, but you will still need to get into slower, heavier weights for true change. Good luck!

Yes you will this woman has a great program. My problem is my time is limited at times with some personal issues at my house. The first two weeks I owned the program you will definitely feel the burn (in a good way) and I'm starting mine back up. In fact I have "decluttered" a lot of my other exercise dvd and sold them back to companies because this program is a good one. I'm 48 and overweight and sedentary life style and work a desk job. She has a little accent but you will adjust and I have read positive things about the program also.

As with all exercise program you can modify the program to your needs. I use it for my boot camp with females in their 40's and 50's so l know you can do it.

I never tried Les mills combat before, but before i purchased Rushfit the last two programs i decided to choose from was between Rushfit and Les mills combat. I decided to go with Rushfit because it has 3 Different 60 day workout calendars. It has one for Beginners, one for Intermediates, and one for advanced. so no matter your fitness level you should be able to get into the program as long as you stay motivated.

I believe it will be too slow for you... it was very elementary and did not get my heart rate up. I am nearly 70! I have some trouble keeping up with a Zumba class at a gym where folks are your age or younger and thought this would help me get the steps down... it didn't. I also bought the Step It UP Zumba DVD and didn't like it either... it requires a new step up device that's round which is not included.

I have found this to be the case for me too. I have not been able to use the programs, other than the lowest setting. I also have strength in my legs. Otherwise I like the machine a lot. I do wish we could reduce the resistance to enjoy the workout programs. Maybe Xterra could answer this issue???

I love Shaun T, don't get me wrong, but from a woman's perspective, I LOVE all of Jackie Warner's DVD's. If you are just starting off, get the Interval workout. If you are short on time, try the Xtreme Time Saver, but all of them are good.
