Moms are often running from working to dropping kids off at baseball practice to picking up dinner to making a deposit at the bank. They don't have tons of time to work out, but most moms still want to be fit and stay healthy. Finding the right workout DVDs can help you fit exercise in your busy day, so you can look and feel great. Always check with your doctor before beginning a new exercise regimen.

Postpregnancy

Your body changes after you give birth, so you need a DVD that will target specific areas. There are plenty of workout DVDs made for postpregnancy, but the best ones are "Bounce Back Fast! Post Natal Core Conditioning," "Fusion Pilates for Post Pregnancy and C-section Recovery" and "Restore the Core Deluxe Kit." These DVDs will help you recover from giving birth and help you recondition muscles affected by pregnancy.

Work Out With Baby

As a new mom, you probably don't want to leave your baby for a minute. Working out can seem like a chore if you're forced to leave your baby behind to go to the gym. Instead, you can get a DVD that inspires you to bond with your baby while you work out. Two DVDs for working out with your baby are "Mommy Baby Body Builders" and "Back in Shape With Baby."

Enjoy the Outdoors

If you're the type of mom with a curious toddler and you hate working out indoors, head outside with two audio CD and DVD sets. You can enjoy the crisp fall air or the spring flowers during your workout and share the experience with your child. Sara Holiday's "Stroller Workout for Moms" and "Strollertime" are the perfect DVDs to get you moving outside.

Weight Loss

Do you really feel like you need to shed pounds fast and effectively? Women who want to get rid of excess weight should turn to one the Biggest Loser's trainers, Jillian Michaels, and three of her DVDs that will get rid of trouble zones and shed pounds fast. These three DVDs are "Jillian Michaels: 30 Day Shred," "Jillian Michaels: No More Trouble Zones" and "Jillian Michaels: Burnish Fat, Boost Metabolism." These DVDs are perfect for the busy mom, because you can do the whole thing or segments. Only got 15 minutes? Just pop in one of these DVDs and you'll be ready to go. The biggest plus of "Burnish Fat, Boost Metabolism" is you don't need any equipment--not even weights.
