I love the POP Pilates from Blogilates on YouTube the workouts are between 10-30 minutes and they completely kick my butt. I also love Jillian Michaels DVD's...I'm currently working through 30 Day Shred and Fat Melting Yoga. I do try to hit the gym twice a week or so and my gym offers great classes like Zumba, Spinning, Kick Boxing, Yoga, etc...I also love the elliptical. I burn more calories on the Elliptical than I ever would on a treadmill and it doesn't feel as tedious to me.

I rotate between these three workouts throughout the week. I take rest days about once a week:

Abs workout for 20-30 minutes (usually Killer Abs)
Run 2.5 miles
Body-weight/dumbbell workout (20-30 minutes)

Right now, I lift 3 days a week and run at least 3 days a week. I also take 1 spin class a week. I have one full rest day, so I'm often doubling up (run in the AM, then lifting after work, etc).

At the end of the month, I'll start half marathon training and I will be lifting 2 days a week, running 4 days a week and doing yoga once a week.

Currently it looks like this:

Mon & Wed: 3-4 mile run
Tue & Thur: Spin class
Sat: Long Run

Long Run schedule for the summer:
7/6: 5 miles
7/13: 8 miles
7/20: 9 miles
7/27: 10 miles
8/3: 8 Miles
8/10: 11 Miles
8/17: 12 Miles
8/24: 6-7 Miles
8/31: Half Marathon

All workouts are in the morning.

I will probably eventually add on a Friday morning run and maybe mix up my runs to do more speedwork. And I want to incorporate a weight routine somehow. But for right now I am still seeing improvement with my running and I have been having weightloss success so I am in no hurry to change-up my routine.

I'm doing Ripped in 30 6 days a week and later in the day I do the Butt Bible also 6 days a week. So I now, on a daily basis, curse Jillian, Pauline, and whoever that girl was that posted pics of her amazing butt transformation from doing the Butt Bible. j/k, I heart all of them, really.
