Can anybody suggest a short (15-20 minutes max) high impact workout (other than jumping jacks) that I can do at home. I'm really out of shape and lose interest in long workouts..end up sitting and watching workout videos while munching on chips! :S
Any videos I can download? any advice would be much appreciated! :)

    Skipping is a really good one hun. I also have alot of Gillian Michaels dvd's she is the trainer from Americas biggest loser. It goes in stages so you do stage 1 first then work your way up to stage 3.

    Hope this helps x

    Jillian Micheals 30 day shred. 20 min a day. I just started it yesterday, its quick and effective.

    My daily workout schedule is based on you tube exercise videos, so try to copy the ones that you think are possible and make a good 20 minutes workout. Is working for me and I hope it will for you too :-)

    Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred, Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds (her 1 mile one is 15 minutes long), and the 10 minute solution DVD series. Of the 10 minute ones I have done so far I have gotten an excellent burn from the kickboxing, pilates, and their target toning DVD's. The DVD's have 5 workouts each on them that are each 10 minutes long.

    Get out of the house, start with walking and build to running. Running has become my absolute favorite exercise and I don't know anything that burns calories as efficiently as a good run.

    Jillian Michaels has a couple workouts that are supposedly scaled toward people without a lot of time, a good 20-30 minutes, but I've not tried her videos. Bob Harper's got one from his Inside Out cardio set that's about 25-30 minutes that focuses on core work that I like (everything is done on one foot. It's harder than you think).
