Do you think you can get in shape with workout videos at home?

I have not worked out since I had my son 18 months ago - at all. I used to do cardio and weight training at gym plus yoga. I'm thinking that a good way to get back into it might be to do a variety of yoga, pilates, cardio dvds (probably streaming from netflix or the library). But do you think that's a waste of time? I've never done many of those and wonder if they are too easy? I guess just trying it will tell me, but I'm curious if anyone thinks they got in decent shape with workout dvds at home. We just bought a home and do not have the money for a gym right now.
THanks! |

Indeed you can. I was totally skeptical until the P90X workout. The Jillian Michaels "Ripped in 30" is good too.
Be aware that once you hit your thirties, diet is more important. |

| I'm a believer.. I lost 28 pounds - I'd say diet kicked off the post preggo weight loss but when I got near 15 lbs from ideal (I'm within 3 lbs- I'm also petite so this makes a huge difference) I saw a lot of flab and started working out with dvds.. I have had comments not only on my weight loss but on how i'm toned (it was obvious i gained a lot and it remained during pregnancies but now it's also apparent i'm pretty toned).. ALL dvds.. I did mix it up a bit- from slow reps to fast training, cardio mix - just try to mix it up.. I started off with Jillian's 30 day and ripped but now I prefer Jillian for her killer cardio dvds and her abs one is mix cardio abs- but I'm a Jackie Warner fan (her last two dvds for total workout).. and i do the slow rep high weight stuff- all at home.. Funny since I've had a few close friends kind of surprised that at home could work.. |

i did the "ripped in 30" video, got the reccomendations from here. it really worked! I was totally out of shape and couldnt even get through the whole (short) workout for the first week. I didnt even end up doing it everyday, and it still made a very noticeable difference. very impressed!
