    I have done Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30 and they are excellent videos for circuit training, but I have to say that since I have been doing Chalene Johnson videos, I am totally hooked. If you are new to working out, definitely start with Turbo Jam. It's a lot of fun and a great workout. I am just finishing up ChaLean Extreme and plan to go into a ChaLean/Turbo Fire hybrid even though I have Insanity sitting in the box waiting for me. Chalene's style is really, really motivating. Best of luck to you!

    Totally agree on Chalene...if you are new to exercise, probably start with Turbo Jam. You will get hooked and be able to do TurboFire in no time. And I doubt you will regret it. This is my Week 4 on TurboFire and it is totally changing my body. ChaLean Extreme is mostly weight training and I HIGHLY recommend it. As you probably already saw on here, muscle helps burn off the fat.

    I really like Turbofire which I'm finishing up now. Jillian's DVDs are really good too.

    I have joined a gym but some days I am having trouble getting there. I am wanting to do a exercise dvd at home. What do you recommend. I have been looking at Beachbody products, Turbo Jam, Brazil Bull Lift, CharLean, Slim in 6. I am a beginner to exercise. I am out of shape. I weight 157 and want to weigh 135 to 130. I have a little pooch in my stomach and I would LOVE to get rid of. I am looking for pros and cons. Any advice or recommandations will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Wow - this is such a personal thing. Can you rent DVDs at your library or thru Netflix? This may help you narrow the field.

    You say you want fun ...... my idea of fun (or at least motivating) and others ideas of fun .... are totally different. This is all a matter of personal preference.

    There are so many DVD's out there, you should be able to find several that you REALLY like, as opposed to "settling" on something you have to mute. Kelly Coffey Meyers is very motivating (IMO) .... Jillian Michael's is not. Collagevideo.com has reviews & video clips of hundreds of workout DVDs.

    Re: Beachbody I've used. Slim is 6 is dull, but effective. Debbie Siebers is professional & motivating. If YOU are motivated this will work. Turbo Jam - I know I'm in the minority here, but BLECH! Chalene is an excellent instructor (Turbo Kick or Turbo Fire must be better than this) - but Turbo Jam is cheesy & the background exercisers are sooo annoying. This should be fairly inexpensive on Amazon. Body Gospel is a BeachBody product I like. Donna Richardson is motivating and fun. This does have religious overtones, but is not over the top or preachy.

    I love any of the Ripped dvd's by Jari Love. But I am not sure they are available in the US.....she is a Canadian.

    I love CharLean, Zumba, & Jillian. I've gotten good results from all of these dvd series.
