I need a cardio dvd that really burns calories. Running is NOT getting me anywhere besides giving me painful calves and sore knees! I can do anything from 20-40 minutes. I live in kc so if anyone knows of any good dvds please let me know! Classes are not an option for me unfortunately :( money is not in my budget lol

    I see people posting big numbers from Zumba videos and I did Tae Bo the other night and burned over 400 calories in 40 minutes. Check out your local Ross or TJ Maxx for workout videos, I got some for $3.99!!!

    Any of the JIllian MIchaels, Bob Harper or Biggest Losers DVDs will work you out good. And they are cheap, cheap, cheap. Usually $10 or less and can be found at Target or Walmart.

    I have to agree w/ mbcarreno08 on the Zumba calorie burns.
    You can really get a calorie scorching workout w/ Zumba (and I dont' just say that because I teach it :).
    The dvd set is reasonably priced and fun.
    And...if/when you are ever able to, try and check out a live class. You will love it.

    Tae Bo is my "go to" cardio dvd for massive calorie burn...I can always count on at least 250-300 calories per workout. I find them at yard sales for a buck or two a piece - and often splurge and buy a new one at Walmart or Target if I see one I don't have.

    Good luck!

    I've done Denise Austin's "Burn Fat Fast" in the past and have seen good results.

    Now, I'm on to insanity (in addition to my bootcamp and running)

    Good Luck!

    I do Zumba on the Wii, that's pretty fun and a good burn. My friend told me about a great website that you can get almost any exercise video and they show little videos so you have a sense of what they are. It's www.collagevideo.com Good luck! :)

    I've heard that you can burn more calories in a live class than the DVDs...but you burn a lot of calories either way in either....if you want to know if they have classes in your area you can get on the Zumba website and put in your zip code.....you'll be surprised how many they probably offer at different places at different times.....I don't live in a huge city, but I was floored by how many classes are offered in our small area.....

    i'm obsessed with turbo fire and insanity and both have videos that range from 15 minutes to an hour. they're fabulous! turbo fire is SUPER fun and insanity is just intense and makes you drip sweat.

    Insanity is cardio, plyometrics and strength training.
    It is as the name says: INSANE!
    Check out clips on youtube: "Shaun T insanity" (check out his totally ripped body too while youre at it! :wink: )

    I seem to be in the minority, but just thought I'd throw it out there: picked up Jillian Michael's 30 day shred cause people had been raving about it --- found it utterly boring. Started at level 3, did it 3 times and haven't looked at it since.
    If youre not a beginner, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
    Again, just my opinion, and pretty much everyone else loves it. Go figure.
