I know working out isn't ment to be fun but was wondering if there was any a bit less dull than the 30ds. I'm an outdoorsy person and most of the time I like walking and running around with the kids. But times when the weathers bad and my 3yr old is around I can't go out (only have a pushchair for the baby plus he walks everywhere just really slowly) I have been doing the 30ds but I'm finding it so boring its hard to get the enthusiasm to even bother doing it. I usually end up doing some skipping instead.
So as my question says is there any more interesting videos?

Umm, what is 30ds? Thats probably a foolish question but I really dont know. Im not sure what you enjoy but I workout at home ALOT and I enjoy Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds. She has tons of dvds, with simple steps and great results; some are as short as 50mins others are about 70mins. She is very positive and motivating, also. Zumba is a great set of dvds but cost more. I hope I helped a bit.0

30DS is the most boring workout DVD I ever ever saw. I don't blame you for asking the question at all, LOL!
Here's some stuff I wrote in the way of reviews on my blog a while back... if you like it, you can check out my blog for any updates!
[pasted from my blog] - I just added a couple more that I forgot to write about on my blog that I didn't paste here. See blog for extra... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/daydream58
I'm a workout DVD junkie. I love to mix them up and do as many as I possibly can so my body never knows which way is up! I will definitely be adding to this list as time goes by!
Jurbo Jam Maximum Results
LOVE it - love Chalene's high powered approach, really fun, you will look forward to any of her workouts and there's 20 min options but I like the full cardio party one best, it's really fun and a GREAT burn - for me about 600 calories!
Chalean Extreme
Great strength workouts so you can mix it up a little, Chalene rules - easy to fit into your schedule
Hip Hop Abs
Surprisingly fun, and feels very well rounded and not boring at all! (And Shaun T is EASY to follow along with!)
30 Day Shred
I found this condescending, fake and boring - but I will keep it in my mix because it's not always about fun
P90X
I haven't made up my mind what I think about this yet as it's still a little beyond me, but I'll get to it in a few weeks hopefully
Pilates for Dummies
Really helpful for explaining and using correct form, which is what pilates is all about... I like it
Windsor Pilates 20 Min Workout
Will get to this one after finishing the one for dummies as I don't think it instructs to the same degree
Zumba Fitness Total Body Transformation
Love it - really fun, a super workout with lots of choices, including 20 min
Brazil Butt Lift
This is a really great workout and I can't imagine it not working well on anyone who gives it a try. Great to have in the mix as so many other workouts seem to focus on abs... which is great - but who doesn't want a great butt?
Wii fitness sports and games
I like the cheerleading game, EA Sports Active (you can customize a 20-30 min routine to your taste) Wii Fit and all sorts of simulated sports games to really mix it up and keep it fun.
TIP
Buy everything used - some of these are very expensive but you can always get them cheap on your local trade, sell and swap websites, just google "used YourCityName" or check the local eBay Kijiji or whatever it's called. Also a good source of used equipment. A lot of people like to buy fitness stuff and then don't really want to put in the work, or don't have room for the stuff - so there's always a great selection of used at huge discount for the MFPer who is SERIOUS!
Mix it up as much as you possibly can - from what I can tell doing the same thing over and over isn't your best option, so doing the opposite maybe is a great idea - that's my plan anyway.0 -

Thank you so much for the advice! I thought I was going crazy as everyone always says how brilliant it is. Will have to get some more to do0 -
I love Brazil Butt Lift.
I have 3 beachbody program. INSANITY is too insane for my knees so that didn't last long but it was good.
P90X bore the crap out of me.
And I always go back to BBL. Its not too intense (maybe the 30min one for me is) but you'll feel real good afterwards and it really makes your butt look nice..hahaha0
