Guest guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 My patients really like Zumba, Tae Boe, and Sansone's walking DVDs although I personally have never used these. I believe P90X covers strength training and I do have some patients who use this, although for most it will be too advanced. I really like the book by Women's or Men's Health Big Book of Exercises available for ~$10 on Amazon. Pictures are descriptive, yet the models are wearing skimpy clothes so I usually give a disclaimer as some patients might be sensitive. I hold exercise classes such as belly dancing, dance (combo of aerobics, tae boe and Zumba) and have done a weight training class with circuits to teach lifting techniques. We are looking in to bringing a yoga and/or Zumba instructor in as well and have aerobics scheduled for the spring. We have also done Zumba DVDs as a group before.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hi Abby, I just tried to email you personally, but keeps bouncing back... I am also looking for other RDs who are personal trainers. I have heard (but have not reviewed yet) that cable " On Demand " activities has different types of exercise segments, but have not looked recently for specific strength videos.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I have recommended Sansone, she does a really good job, especially for people that are interested in low impact, such as walking. Her videos are usually walk videos, she has a large variety, which also incorporates resistance exercises, she does a good job of reviewing form and modifications. Another great resource are the Prevention workout videos, they have dancing, yoga, resistance, targe toning and much much more. All the instructors with these videos review basics and modifications for each workout. Smiles!
