    Right now I am doing both ChaLean Extreme and Turbo Fire mainly, and doing Zumba Fitness Core (Xbox 360 Kinect) on less busy days :) I actually made a table of it here http://mfpmiadhail.blogspot.ca hehe :)

    Before I restarted on my work out routine, I was doing Zumba on the Xbox 360 Kinect everyday mainly and I love it! Along with that, I went to the gym twice a week for an hour to run on the treadmill and use the elliptical. I was also doing some strength training at home.

    The thing is to do something that challenges you, that you enjoy and therefore could stick for a long time :) All the best!

    I would also recommend starting a strength training routine. It does wonders for your shape. I lift 2-3x a week and do yoga and zumba on my non lifting days. I haven't lost a lot of weight on the scale, but I'm losing inches and clothing sizes and I'll take that over a scale loss anyday.

    For strength training, I am following the New Rules of Lifting for Women plan. It's long term (think 6+ months). I just finished phase one and am already impressed with the results so far. I cant' wait to see how far along I'll be when I finish the whole plan.

    I'm currently doing a CLX/TF hybrid which consists of kickboxing, yoga, abs, heavy lifting, HIIT workouts, resistance bands, free weights.....etc

    it's pretty well-rounded & it works for me!

    I lift heavy weights for 75 minutes 3 times a week and run outside 4-6 times a week.

    Couch to 5k app (3x/week), Zumba on Xbox Kinect (depends, but 2-3x/week), an actual Zumba class 1 hr/week, and I ride my bike as many places as I can. Hoping to start riding to work 3 days a week next week :)
