I was about to ask for the P90 system (a little toned down version of p90X) for Christmas and then realized - I don't even have a dvd player. Ha ha.

Are there some good daily workout video sites that are affordable that you really like? I am not in good shape at all so something with beginner workouts that anyone (even a flabby person like me) can follow?!

What ones do you like?

    I'm a big youtube fan. Jessica Smith is my favorite, and I'm a beginner too.

    Maybe you should ask for a DVD player for Christmas! :) I'm doing 30DS and it's available online.

    I'm going to download that now! I've been playing around with apps lately but haven't found one I really liked.

    I also use videos from You Tube and that is free.
    There are a few Leslie Sansome walking videos on there I have tried, Jessica Smith TV, Sparkpeople, Fitness Blender, some dance type workouts. Just search for workouts and you will find a lot of variety.

    fitnessblender is great. If you want to start out gently and can cope with someone with an incredibly sunny disposition, the Leslie Sansone 'walk yourself fit' ones on YouTube are good (you walk on the spot in your living room).

    Youtube has endless workout videos, I stopped buying workout DVDs because of the variety on there. Here is my favourite.

    Big thumbs up for Fitness Blender from me. I also just discovered a site called BodBot that gives you a free daily workout once you go online and register with all your stats and goals. I signed up but haven't used it because I'm still in the middle of a Fitness Blender 8 week program.

    I fond one called FitStar that seems cool. Really gauges the workouts to what you want to do and what you can handle. Anyone tried that?

    Also found one called Daily Burn that seems kinda interesting.

    Is it weird to take your IPAD to the gym and do the workouts in the yoga studio at night along with the IPAD video? When the studio is not in use of course? We don't have a lot of empty floor space in our house and it's old carpet so when I jump or lunge the carpet actually moves and shifts (probably not good for the life of carpet).

    I don't think it would be weird, but I have the same carpet issue and I bought a marked-down area rug for about 25 bucks (steal!). Look in the clearance bins at Lowe's/Wal-Mart/JC Penney/Home Goods.

    I tried Daily Burn twice and didn't like it. I much prefer workouts from YouTube than the ones on Daily Burn.

    I've researched FitStar and it looks awesome, but for now I have to stick with FREE. It's on my Someday List. LOL!

    Where is your computer set up? And how old is it? Your CD rom should be able to read DVDs.. I definitely did my p90x in the computer room a few times.

    And..do you have a VCR? If so, check out your local library (for both tapes and dvds)

    I am doing a free 30 day trial of Daily Burn. I am using the True Beginner program and I really like it. Once my free trial is up I think I'm going to cancel it though (it's $10 a month) and try fitnessblender or some free YouTube programs.

    Dailyhit.com but as stated above DVD Players are very cheap. Also is your computer capable of playing a DVD.

    Yeah don't really want to use a DVD anymore. Like to be able to use by bedroom or the gym or garage so it would need to be on computer no matter what.

    I will look at YouTube - seems strange.
    -
    I would like workout system that knows how hard I can go, what my goals are, etc but hey - could be just what I need. Will go check it out tonight.

    You can get a cheap laptop with a DVD drive just about anywhere. Laptop or Ipad, not much difference in form factor there.
