I am definitely a lurker and seldom post .
I found VF in 2003 when I was home with my now 17 year old son. I gained a ton of weight with him and I was miserable. I decided I needed to do something and found a Leslie Sansone video at Ross. I couldn't even make it through the 2 miles without feeling like I was dying - seems so far away now. My dad was a health nut who made us play tennis, swim, bike and jog. I ran track in high school and I was on the drill team. My favorite instructor - hmmm - that's a tough one as it changes depending on what I'm into at the moment. The ones I have been most consistent with would be: Chalene Johnson, Jessica Smith, Jari Love, Ellen Barrett, Sonia Doubell and Celest Pereira. I have been concentrating on Leslie, Ellen and yoga thus far. I am having surgery next week and won't be able to exercise for 6 weeks and no full on exercise until 8 weeks. In between time - moderate walking only - nothing to break a sweat. I will have internal stitches so nothing to cause any problems. My plan is to get 3500-5000 steps per day until my 6 week date at which time I will incorporate yoga and light walking workouts i.e. Ellen's Grokker walking workouts, 1 mile Leslie's and Jessica Smith workouts. I am looking forward to September when I can get back to normal - whatever that is . I am planning my second round of CLX with Jessica Smith thrown in. After CLX, I plan on another round of Walk Strong 3 - I got amazing results when I did it last summer.

Lyonmom, best wishes for your surgery and recovery
I also found VF in 2003. My first video was a one mile Leslie I bought from Collage Video (I found them through an ad in Shape magazine or Fitness magazine-do those even exist anymore? ) I remember I could only do the first seven minutes the first time I tried it. It was her "one mile walkaerobics" on VHS! I saved the tape for sentimental reasons. Sherry

I try to post as I can, but need to be more active, so here goes. I found VF in 2002 during my first effort to get fit and I've pretty much been around since. I go more to the gym these days, but try to apply the fitness principles learned here to that setting. Right now, I've dug out the only rotation I have ever finished at home and am trying it at the gym, Look Great in 8. On non-gym days, I do band workouts on my own.
One thing I've always loved about VF is that it is more about health and fitness than the specific type of exercise you do.

Thanks for posting everyone!
Kitten - I've been on a Jane Fonda kick after years of not doing her workouts. I collected all the "new" ones and all of the old ones available on DVD. Hoping that more of her older VHS workouts will make it to DVD, especially step. Lyonmom - best wishes with your surgery and recovery. |
