Infomercial....work out videos...

Anyone who watches tv over the weekends sees all the "paid programs" and now they have so many different work out videos to choose from and they of course all sound good... as long as if you buy them --you do them!! P90X, ISANITY, SLIM IN 6, TURBO JAM, ZUMBA, HIP HOP ABS, FIRM WORKOUTS.....etc....just to name a few!! I am a person who loves to workout, and I like the videos to follow vs. going to the gym...especially with 2 kids -- I have no time to get out. so I have to wake up early to get my workout in before the kids get up...and then start my day --which is working for me now!! Are you one that orders the videos and never does the work out?? Or do you just watch the infomercials and never order the product?... Have you tried any of these programs??

Hi bookreadermom, I bought some workout videos and I do follow them every now and then, but not religiously. I'm on and off workout, it depends on my mood. I also follow some workouts on TV, but I don't order their products. I don't wanna go the the gym because it takes up more of my time than when I just do it at home. And since I'm a working mom, I can't seem to have time for that anymore, or maybe I'm too lazy to stretch a muscle or to bend my body. Hmmm, on second thought, I should start to shape up again.

My family and I tried turbo jam and hip hop abs. Both were nice but we have gym memberships so we no longer used the vids. We also did TAE BO. I actually quite like tae bo :-)

I am the one that doesn't watch the infomercials and therefore doesn't order the videos. However, I will buy some of the videos when I see them in the store. And, when I buy them from the store I will actually use them. I found that having a well varied workout routine has worked very well for me. I will alternate between videos, my stationary bicycle, Wii fitness games and walking outside. These are all things that I have proven to work for me and also things that don't cost nearly the amount of money that it costs to become a member of the gym.
