    Anything Jillian michaels. Ive done ripped in 30, 30 day shred, and yoga meltdown. I can't afford a gym membership and my little boy only takes short naps so the 30 minute workouts are perfect for me! I'm borrowing p90x from a friend now and in week two and its tough but so far I love it!

    I love Jillians DVDs. My favorite is No More Trouble Zones! My brother keeps saying he's gonna loan me his P90x but Im sure I'll be applying for social security by the time he gets around to that :-)

    Turbo Fire and Chalene Extreme. Chalene has a way of working your abs without sit ups. I have never had a flat stomach but it is getting there. ( Just a couple more pounds of fat to lose. ) The workouts are tough but a lot of fun. After a year, I am ready to change but it took a year to get bored. That is saying something

    Jillian Michels is good, if you want to target your abs maybe 6 week 6 pack is the one for you?

    I love Power 90 and Rev Abs. Power 90 came before P90X and is a lot less intense. I am currently on day 61 of Rev Abs, and with the help of MFP and cutting out the beer, I have dropped 15 lbs. These are my 2 favs.

    I like Slim in 6/ Slim series. I am too uncoordinated to do anything with dance/aerobic moves.

    Hi...I do a lot of mixing up but try to stay consistent with a day of sculpting and the day after that cardio. I use:

    Biggest Loser Cardio Max
    Biggest Lower Power Sculpt
    Jillian Michaels 30 day shred
    Sweating in the Spirit
    Zumba cardio and sculpt
    and I also download videos from ExerciseTv.com (they have a bunch of freebies)

    I love TurboFire!! Chalene Extreme also is fantastic. For xmas, i got Hip Hop Hustle Fan Favorite 1, which is also a Chalene Johnson workout from Powder Blue productions and that was a lot of fun, like a dance class, not a cardio workout.

    For fun i mix it up with Hip Hop Abs and Rockin Body. I will be starting Insanity in a week, I have one week left of Chalene Extreme.

    I advice getting different workouts and keep mixing it up to combat boredom. One way is to try them from Netflix (like Jari Love she is awesome) or check out your library.

    I love Turbo Jam/ Turbo Fire and Jillian Michael's Shred and No More Trouble Zones.. Also Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga is a nice one for "off days"..

    I find Chalene is a happy break from Jillian who is... good but kinda mean! :)

    I love the gym, but when I work out at home I use Jillian Micheals or workouts "For Dummies"

    Abs start in the kitchen (no sexism). Just working your abdominals isn't going to get you a 6 pack, focus more on compound movements. These demands more muscle activation, and thus a higher calorie burn than crunches. If you are determined to stay at home try some thrusters, burbees, bent rows, and push ups. Notice how i had no ab work in there? that is because you will burn more calories doing just 1 of those than isolating your abs.
