What is the best fitness video to lose weight for a beginner?

I had a baby 7 months ago and am having trouble losing weight! Any suggestions?

I like the Turbo Jam DVD series myself.  The have some modifications where you can start out slowly and then work your way up to higher impact variations as you become more fit.

Check out the other forum topics on Turbo Jam!

I like Turbo Jam -and- Tae Bo; I find I need variety to keep myself going and the two are different enough that I don't get bored. =) 

I would suggest purchasing a single DVD of each and trying them out to see what fits your tastes. 
They're each very cardio, though while each Turbo Jam workout tends to focus more on one thing or another, alot of the Tae Bo workouts with the resistance bands or the bar are both cardio and strength building.  With either one you'll be working your abs and glutes ALOT, almost no matter which workout it is. =P  Well, that's my very general and imprecise summary of the two, anyway.  Hope it helps. =)

I really like the Denise Austin Blast Away the Pounds Indoor Walk. Its super easy. It has 3 levels. All are 15 min. My sis-in-law lost 40 pounds doing it, and recently passed it on to me. ( i bet you could even do it with a baby in a sling strapped to you! )
I like it cause I don't get really sweaty and its low impact and there are no complicated "dance' type moves.

Also, Leslie Sansone has an indoor walk as well. I personally don't have it, but I have done her workouts in the past and ANYTHING by her is easy for all levels.
I know Target carries Leslie Sansone DvDs.

Just go easy on your self and don't try for too much too soon. It took 9 months to get there in the first place, and you have to keep up with baby as well. Good luck!

Hey there! I found great articles and videos relating to your concerns from an author I've been following for a few months now.  He's a doctor of physical therapy and a fitness professional. He's really qualified... see for yourself: http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Kareem_Samhouri,_DPT

12 of my workout videos are posted on my blog.  They're free so you might want to give them a shot before buying anything.  They're really good at burning off fat.
